I'm messing arround in a DBZ source, hosting it, changing it, just trying to improve my code skills since i started to learn it like, 2 weeks ago.
This part of code in special is suposed to check the chromossome of the player and based on which one it is trans him, but what it's doing is. As soon as one presses the trans button it proceeds to change the chromossome from whichever it is to "Honour" and do the trans for it, then proceeds to change the variable to "Pride" and do the same, then "Legend" and do the same... I have absolutelly no idea what's causing it, any help will be apreciated

Best response
You want to use "==", not "="

= is the assignment operator. It sets the variable on the left to the value on the right.

== is the equality operator. It checks to see if two values are the same.

i refuse to update till they add a warning for that lol

Almost every modern programming language allows assignment chaining like this. DM is joining the ranks. It was the weird language for not having it.

valid point i guess. im not that experienced in many modern(or any) languages yet so when i do write in them, mostly for class, i dont make that mistake cause of how many times i look over my code

I think allowing = in if checks is a big mistake personally, I wish it was a flag to DreamMaker

What it really needs is a warning when it's used without parentheses around the expression; that's how C and a lot of other languages do it. The main thing is, I need to add some kind of flag in the parser to account for this. It needs to be handled in if() statements, while() loops, and the second item of a for() statement.

I often help new programmers with code where their mistake is using = instead of == on 510.

Luckily it's a compile error and not a silent logic bug that would cause unexpected issues.

Still think it's a bad idea

Also sorry for necroing and old post, I just feel really strongly about this

It helps to put the value ur checking with on the left instead of the right in most simple cases
That being said I just finished a c course and it made me appreciate assignment chaining

Yoda conditions are those. Good stuff, it is.
