 Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2007 1:22 pm Post subject: [issue] [Delphi] incompatible types. |
 |
|
Okay I'm using a function that is included in Delphi to get and set a variable from an online Flash game. Here is the part of the code:
| Code: | procedure TForm1.ItemTimer(Sender: TObject);
begin
try
DF.GetVariable('_loc2');
DF.SetVariable('_loc2', 'I want to put a number here');
Except
end;
end; |
Now the problem is I can only seem to set the variable _loc2 to a String's value, not a integer etc.
If I try that, I get an incompatible types error on compiling, and if I ran it with a String type data, I get a logical/runtime error. The game seems to have error handling and handles whatever I set it to as NaN. Also InttoStr doesn't work, I've tried it.
Is there any way to set this to an integer? I've looked at some stuff on Google, but the best I got is the "is" and "as" operator.
And if the solution involves somehow overloading the function to include other types of input, I'll need some serious help  .

if u just want a number then
IntToStr('number'); |

InttoStr doesn't work (i'm not a complete retard)
The function will still give me an error, and I know how to use that.

Yeah, but won't that change it to a String?
Because there are quotes around the 33.
Also yes, DF is a shockwaveflash, and everything works peachy when I put in a string -.-.

Caption and Text are also String types, I need integers.
And yes... I tried text. (I'll try caption for the heck of it).

Again won't work  . The function only allows widestring types. So is there another one I can use to set that var?

Strings are handled as NaN, and there the variable I'm trying to change will allow to me chose what item is generated when I complete a quest. And there isn't an item ID for NaN .

It's passed as a WideString I believe, so put '1000' not 1000.
It would be the same thing.
If you can't get the variable, that means it doesn't exist, or doesn't exist yet. |
