[Inform] Daemons! Argh!

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.int-fiction (More info?)

Hello all,

I am new to Inform, and am having some difficulty with daemons.
You see, I have a daemon in my code, whose syntax and code have been
triple checked, and yet when I insert it into my masterpiece, I get 78
compile errors!
Would anyone be willing to lend me a hand? An excerpt from the code of
the effected object follows. Of course, "StartDaemon(obj);", has been
defined elsewhere.

var 0,
daemon [; switch (++obj.var){
1: print "";
7: print "";
9: print "";
11: StopDaemon(obj); deadflag = 1; print "";
],

Thanks in advance for any help,
Gulphx

The obvious error in your code is the missing braces...

object d with var 0,
daemon [;
switch (++self.var){
1: print "";
7: print "";
9: print "";
11: StopDaemon(self); deadflag = 1; print "";
}
];

I seems to compile fine when fixed.

Also, this sort of question is best asked on rec.arts.int-fiction.
Cheers,

Yes, you are absolutely correct about that!

As I just posted on rec.arts.int-fiction:
My sincere apologizes for any annoyance I may have caused anyone. I do
know the rules, but somehow managed to get the newsgroups mixed up.
I'm terribly sorry about that. Trust me, it won't happen again!

In closing, *please* don't judge my intelligence by my first two
postings!
