includes order

[enric]

It seems that a functions included in a file "E_FUNCTIONS.BSF" placed in the scenario folder, can't be called from an Action unit (DATA/BATTLE/SCRIPTS).
If placed in DATA/SCRIPTS and added as include in $DEFAULT then the standard FUNCTIONS is needed and... well the question is, which is the order?

[pipfromslitherine]

The include search order is:

<current>
<campaign>/data/battle/scripts
<campaign>/data/scripts
data/battle/scripts
data/scripts

Thank you,.
I'm sorry for my incompetence but, <current> means <campaign>/scenarios ?

[pipfromslitherine]

<current> is the folder that the original script that is being loaded is in.

But when is the scenarioName.bsf loaded?, is the first one?

[pipfromslitherine]

Scripts are loaded in various orders. The scenario script is loaded quite early in the battle startup.

But first o later than the units actions scripts?

[pipfromslitherine]

How would that affect the include order, or am I misunderstanding the problem?

It's probably I don't explain well, I'll try.

In a new unitActionScript I created a function [myFunction].
All works ok.

Then, I believe that function will be useful for other purposes in the future.

I use to place the general functions in "E_FUNCTIONS.BSF" placed next to the scenarioName.BSF <campaign>/scenarios.
The [include "E_FUNCTIONS.BSF"] is placed at the beginning of the scenarioName.bsf

As I assumed the double check of the compiler or runtime: first loading everything, second checking calls, relations, double definitions, etc. I hope it will work, but the compiler say: "Failed to find variable [myFunction]. Did you forget…"

So the order should be important.

Ah - well the other script won't find anything in the scenarios folder unless the script itself is being loaded from there. Move the E_FUNCTIONS file to the local DATA/SCRIPTS folder and they should both be able to find it.

It doesn't work. You need to put the include in $default.BSD and in the scenario.BSF, and I'm not sure about putting the same include in two different places.

I know you're out the office until next year, we will retake this later.

[pipfromslitherine]

Yes - the two scripts are not related. So both will need an include statement at the top of them.
