P3D v4 Script error in P3Dv4

[WarpD]

I don't agree or disagree, as it's your code and thus your preference... I asked as I didn't see a benefit to your approach and found it somewhat obfuscating.

I find that in both cases the condition IS executed... tested in FSX and P3D v4 using the script

You're right, I tested and surprisingly (to me) the if{ } is executed. I recall having done this test many times, but looong ago (FS9 perhaps), and I can assure you it wouldn't work then.
Which was very odd as logical "true"is a non zero number, but wasn't working that way.

Thanks for pointing out.

Thanks for all the reactions.
I dont use P3Dv4 myself, so I will ask the guy who reported this to me to post detail on the error log.

sorry for the wait to post this...

That tells me there's an extra ")" somewhere around that particular line.

Four things that strike me here

1) this isn't the line that you quoted in your OP
2) Running a quick test here on V4.5 again yields NO error in the log. The value assignment works as intended.
3) Your user's error message seems to flag something like "}", or is it ") }", at the beginning. Better take a close look at the surrounding logic structure. Like WarpD I believe we need more context (said that in my first reply).
4) Is the function name really "VSTOLControlIPC " - Two l's?

OK, I found the reason for the script error; it's not in that code line itself, but in the preceeding code ….

(L:VSTOLMode,enum) 2 == (L:VSTOLModePrev,enum) 3 == &&
(L:VSTOLMode,enum) 0 == (L:VSTOLModePrev,enum) 4 == && ||
if{
   0 (>K:AILERON_TRIM_SET)
   0 @SetVTOLConfig)
}

(L:VSTOLMode,enum) 4 == if{ 1 } els{ 0 } (>L:ChuteVisible,bool)

It's the ")" character in "0 @SetVTOLConfig)" ....

The log entry referenced it accurately:

                   )
}

(L:VSTOLMode,enum) 4 == if{ 1 } els{ 0 } (>L:ChuteVisible,bool)

I will mention to L-M that perhaps a CRLF after the colon might help us to track down the location(s) easier.

OK, I found the reason for the script error; ...

I can't help wondering whether that was quite the right way to put it.
