Is "execute" still supported? #417807 02/18/13 00:57 02/18/13 00:57

I tried: Code: #include <acknex.h> void main() { execute("beep()"); execute("sys_exit(0)"); execute("level_load(\"test.wmb\")"); } but none of these executes works, neither without nor with a semicolon. Has the support for this function seized? Always learn from history, to be sure you make the same mistakes again...

It can only be used for calling engine functions with engine variables, and has no access to functions or variables of the script. so I was under the impression that it did work under Lite-C. So execute cannot be used at all in Lite-C? Or is there an error in my code? Always learn from history, to be sure you make the same mistakes again...

It could be used in the early lite-C version that supported a mix of lite-C and C-Script, but I believe since A7 the C-Script interpreter can not be called anymore in a lite-C project. This was apparently never corrected in the manual.
