(SOLVED) Local variable unexpectedly blanks when going into a for loop.

[Axo-Tak]

Code: [Select]

function BSEHelpNode::setIDsOfChildren( %this , %parentID )
{
    if( %parentID !$= "" )
        %pIDhead = %parentID @ ".";
    else
        %pIDhead = "";

    for( %j = 0 ; %j < %this.getCount() ; %j++ )
    {
        %this.getObject( %j ).id = %pIDhead @ (%j + 1);
        %this.getObject( %j ).setIDsOfChildren( %this.id );
    }
    return 1;
}
It has to be a recursive function so that it can have sections in sections in sections in sections and so on.

%pIDhead stays its value until the for loop. The BSEHelpNodes are ScriptGroups.

Add in some echoes and show us the result.

(hit post on accident, I am still trying to fix this)

Add in some echoes and show us the result.

Code: [Select]

function BSEHelpNode::setIDsOfChildren( %this , %parentID )
{
    echo("<item=" @ %parentID SPC %this.id @ ">");
    if( %parentID !$= "" )
    {
        echo(%parentID SPC %this.id @ ": has a parent");
        %name = %parentID @ ".";
    }
    else
    {
        echo(%parentID SPC %this.id @ ": has no parent");
        %name = "";
    }
    echo(%parentID SPC %this.id @ ": before for" SPC %name);
    for( %j = 0 ; %j < %this.getCount() ; %j++ )
    {
        echo(%parentID SPC %this.id @ ": after for" SPC %name);
        echo(%parentID SPC %this.id @ ": iterator " @ %j + 1 SPC %this.getCount());
        %this.getObject( %j ).id = %name @ (%j + 1);
        %this.getObject( %j ).setIDsOfChildren( %this.id );
    }
    echo("</item=" @ %parentID SPC %this.id @ ">");
    return 1;

OK I provided the echos.

[Axo-Tak]

Code: [Select]

function BSEHelpNode::setIDsOfChildren( %this )
{
    if( %this.id $= ""  )
        %idHead = "";
    else
        %idHead = %this.id @ ".";
    
    for( %i = 0 ; %i < %this.getCount() ; %i++ )
    {
        %obj = %this.getObject( %i );
        %obj.id = %idHead @ (%i + 1);
        
        if( %obj.getCount() > 0 )
            %obj.setIDsOfChildren();
    }

    return 1;
}
I rewrote the code.
