To all authors:
Jeff Mallet has confirmed a Zillions bug in V2.0
which I ran across lately:
There are cases such that the call
(Mymacro 1 2)
works, but
(Mymacro 2 1)
does not work.
This happens when inside the macro Mymacro
the number-only parameters are used in conjunction, e.g.
(change-type man$1$2) ... (create man$2$1)
I had this problem when designing the game
"Harry".
As a workaroud I passed an additional parameter
to the macro such as
(Mymacro 1 2 21)
with the usages:
(change-type man$1$2) ... (create man$3).
Cheers, Karl |

I just realized that there is a more elegant workaround for this problem:
Use hyphen in between digits when naming tokens, such as:
man-1-2 and man-2-1.
This way the system does not get confused,
and no additional passed parameters are necessary, which is a more elegant solution
than the one I mentioned in my previous message.
As long as this method is properly desribed in the help text, it may not be necessary for Jeff Mallet to provide a fix for this. |
