Syntax error in variables while editing script #5
Description
Issue type:
- 🐛 Bug
Short description:
When adding a reassignment (smth like let str = "test"; str = "test 2"), the variable card gives me a syntax error (for example in display panels). Reinserting the variable card solves the issue (it's still annoying regardless).
Steps to reproduce the problem:
- Add a variable to your script, for example
let str = "Hi InDy" - Use this variable in a variable card and insert it into a connected display panel
- The variable's value is displayed properly
- Reassign the variable in your script, like
str += " and InScripting!" - Display Panel shows an X, hovering over the X in display panel's GUI shows that it's a SyntaxError (depends on what type of variable you are reassigning)
Expected behaviour:
New value displays correctly.

Could you share the syntax error message you're getting?

Sure, one sec!

This is for the number type, for some reason syntax error says there's no
arsymbol, but I usearr, so idkQinomeD commentedon Feb 7, 2024
This happens for reassigning array values

The script variable probably got updated while you were typing, at which point the line was not complete yet and would result in a syntax error.
So I don't think the re-assignment itself is the problem.
Not sure yet what a good solution to this could be...

oh yeah, it's actually not only reassigning, I just didn't really test anything, since just changing the value manually didn't trigger the error
maybe the variable should be updated when the player stops writing?

Note to self: consider invalidating errored variables, but only those that errored due to the currently edited script.
