syntax error: #define not supported in Lite-C? - 05/08/11 00:56

Hello,
I�m converting my old A7 .wdl scripts to the new A8 C-Lite lenguage, and runned into a bug.
In one of the scripts, i�m using a defined handle to control a save game panel, but engine crashes say that the handle line is a SYNTAX ERROR.
In the following code...

Code:

#define _modesave 0;
#define _modeload 1;

function MainButtoncontroller(BUTTONUMBER)
{
 if(BUTTONUMBER==1)
 {
	submenus=1;
	mode_saveload= _modesave;
	submenus_control();
	return;
 }
...
}

... the engine gives the following error:

ERROR in "systemmenu.c" line 265:
syntax error
< mode_saveload= _modesave;
>

Those defines aren�t used in Lite-C?!?
Is there a new way to write this syntaxes?
I couldn�t find anything in the manual, so any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You have to remove the ';' in your #define directives. Keeping the ';' in would replace '_modesave' with '0;' instead of '0'. Remember directives aren't statements

You have to remove them only in # funtions. i.e. #include , #define , #ifdef and so on.
