Unusual error... [SOLVED]

[disc330]

Been using Irrlicht for a while, and I have used the AddCubeSceneNode() & SetPosition() finctions since the begining.

They used to work fine, but suddenly today i have started getting an error:

CODE

ERROR: AddCubeSceneNode() called with Const or expression on ByRef-param(s).

$TestBoxNode = AddCubeSceneNode(2)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

builtin(55,47) : REF: definition of AddCubeSceneNode().

Never heard of this error before, so as a workaround I could just use a variable for every parameter. That was bad enough, but then I got:

CODE

ERROR: SetPosition() called with Const or expression on ByRef-param(s).

SetPosition($PlayerNode, GetAbsolutePosition($TestBoxNode , "X"), 0 , GetAbsolutePosition($TestBoxNode , "Z"))

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

builtin(56,74) : REF: definition of SetPosition().

I refuse to use variables in SetPosition(). (Note that where the '0' is in SetPosition, I have tried a variable. Its not the number but the functions.) If any other IrrLichters have had this error could you please help me out. Have no idea what it could be other than an include file, but I tried the code without them one by one and i still got it. I am not using any mode of MustDeclareVars and I haven't recieved this error in other scripts. *clueless* =/

Thanks for reading, and super thanks for any help.

Instead of inlining the function calls in another, try saving the functions to variables then sending those to SetPosition.

[disc330]

try saving the functions to variables

Exactly what I'm trying to avoid.

I'll give it a try for the sake of a breakthrough, but I don't see why I should have to because I never have HAD to before...

Thanks for the input anyway and happy Valentines day!

I can understand not wanting to use variables. I can't see why it would require it but I don't even know what this UDF does, much less ever used it.

Ok, well I tried to just run it by double clicking the icon instead of hitting F5, worked fine. Turns out the whole thing was because of my bad order of Includes. All working now though, and I probably wouldn't have found that tonight if it wasn't for you Richard Robertson so thanks very much.

Haha. I don't see how I helped, but I'm glad you figured it out.

That would be why it worked before but not now.
