Proper use of Comment Tags?

Proper use of Comment Tags? - 07/19/10 09:56

I've been working on creating my own camera system lately.
To set this up in WED i was relying on comment tags to help me make the skills and flags clear to the user.
Back in .wdl time this worked fine for me, but now working with .c files this seems to go wrong...

I have a file called actions.c in which i write all actions and comment tags for WED use.
example:

Code:

//SKILL1: CAM_SMOOTH_SPEED 1.1
//FLAG8: DO_NOT_USE 0
action ACT_Trigger_smooth() {
	// create the trigger
	SmoothCamTrigger(init_camTrigger());
	
	// anything else...
}

Now the thing is, it seems skill1 is working (though it does not do upper/lowercase characters as how i write them), but flag8 is not affected at all (nor does any other flag if i try).

Am i doing something wrong in the setup, or is this a bug?
Also, cant we still not edit string1/2 names either using this?

regards,

it's a bug with flags atm, though if you use the behaviour panel, you'll see them displayed
string 1 and 2 can be edited though it says they're read only

That's the thing, I dont see them being changed in the behaviour panel. Also, I can change the string 1 and 2 value using comment tags you're saying? how?

They are editable, but not on the behaviour panel, misunderstood your question.

Currently the bug is on the behaviour tab in the bottom left of WED, if you right click the entity and choose Behaviour, it will show the comment tags specified.

You're right, I hadnt even noticed the behaviour tab properly working before...
Thanks for letting me know it's a bug though... It was literally making me go insane, hahaha
