Hello,

Please could you explain how to set a global variable ?

I want to use a variable in several modules but it seems that variables are 'local' to their own modules ?...

Thanks for your help,
Alain

Add any globals into your main.agc file and they can be used in any included files.

Thanks for your answer, but it doesn't seems to work (with me )

my example :


main code :


the "test.agc"



What am I missing please ?

regards,
Alain

Just a guess, but the problem might be in your PRINT statements.

Try changing them to:

print (str(myValues[1]))
print (str(myValues[2]))
print (str(myValues[3]))

The Print statement is looking for string values, which your array is not, so you need to convert them to a string using the str() command.

Hope that was it.

Thanks

The type casting to string is not the problem here. The problem is that, when you include a new file, the code that it is in there, outside any function or subroutine, won't be executed like if they were in your main file.

If you add them to a function (or subroutine) in your test.agc file, and call this function at some point in your main.agc, then it will work.

Better show you than explain:

test.agc:



main.agc:




You'll notice that in the main.agc, before the main loop starts, I'm calling the function, so the values are correctly set.

This is based on my observations, so maybe some TGC experts can confirm it


Cheers

Now that I look at it again, I do see the problem.

The values are never being set, because he is never calling a sub or function to actually set them.

DOH!! I should have seen that the first time.....

Good catch MobileCreator!!

The Print statement is looking for string values, which your array is not, so you need to convert them to a string using the str() command.

That was my first thought too JHA

There's no need to change them into strings. I use Print(array[0].thing) all the time and it prints integer and float values just fine.
