«RetVar/IF» «RefObj» is autojump activated / return value

[lostProfitssssArrgh]

Hello,

I noticed that the command :
«RetVar/IF» «RefObj» is autojump activated

returns 2048 when true, instead of 1 like "«RetVar/IF» «RefObj» exists", for example.

Is this normal? If so, why 2048 instead of 1?

Thanks,

Why would you check this value in the first place?

[lostProfitssssArrgh]

Why shouldn't I check it..?

I came across this because of a CmdChk prerequisite written like this:

Code: Select all

* check autojump
$autoJ = $Ship-> is autojump activated
skip if $autoJ == [TRUE]
    return [CmdConCheck.Disabled]

and wondered why the command would be locked no matter what.

So after printing the return value to the logbook to verify it and noticed that it gives 2048 instead of 1, I changed the condition to:

Code: Select all

* check autojump
$autoJ = $Ship-> is autojump activated
skip if $autoJ
    return [CmdConCheck.Disabled]

to make it work.

I'm just curious to know whether having 2048 as return value on a true/false check is intended and what would be reason to do so.

Huh. This sounds like a bug. This is LU, right?

[lostProfitssssArrgh]

Yes. LU 1.7.2 and Mayhem 2.1.3.

Does the returned value change whether autojump is active or not? And does the 'is emergency jump activated' command have the some problem?

[lostProfitssssArrgh]

@Xenon_Slayer

Yes, the value changes. It's 0 when autojump is off and 2048 when autojump is on.

I just checked 'is emergency jump activated', and it apparently has a similar problem: returns 0 when off and 4096 when on. (tested on PLAYERSHIP and another ship. shield threshold % doesn't affect the return value)

[Xenon_Slayer]

Whoops, looks like it's returning the flag value. Will poke someone to take a look into that.

In the meantime, you'll have to check whether those commands return 0 or not.

Thanks for reporting it.
