Onpress

[samejima]

So I got tired of crashing my client. Working on a pretty big file and looking to make my code actually readable.

As far as I know a commonly used practice would be!

Parent.Button.onpress =('say')##(x)
Parent.Button.press=true
Parent.Button.onpress=('say')##(y)
Parent.Buton.press=true

Now what I'm trying to do is 
Parent.Button.onpress =('say')##(x)
Parent.Button.onpress=(parent.Button.onpress)##(line return)##('say')##(y)
Parent.Buton.press=true

Something like this even possible?

That will work if you add the missing spaces after 'say' and if you have define "linereturn" (drop the space, element names cannot have spaces) as a line feed character (or carriage return + line feed).

Of course it would be easier to just directly do it like this but that might not have been what you are after:

Parent.Button.OnPress='say ' ## (x) ## ' say ' ## (y)

Your code returns

you say, "test say test2"

which was the same problem i was running into previously if i wasn't crashing of course!

For the record that was definitely pseudo code to help understand what i was trying to do. I need a line return so when it presses it thinks that its a slue of commands.

Oh lol yeah sorry did that in a hurry, you can't just separate different /say commands via a space because it thinks that's still part of the text you want to say, so in this case you would need to use the = notation. Also I got the order wrong. So the correct line without a linebreak would be:

Parent.Button.OnPress='say ' ## (y) ## ' say ' ## (y) ## ' say ' ## (x) ## ' say ' ## (x)

But I thought so that your question was mainly directed at the linebreak anyway.

Basically instead of doing
ONPRESS= BLAH BLAH
Press=true
ONPRESS= BLAH BLAH
Press=true
ONPRESS= BLAH BLAH
Press=true
ONPRESS= BLAH BLAH
Press=true
ONPRESS= BLAH BLAH
Press=true
ONPRESS= BLAH BLAH
Press=true
ONPRESS= BLAH BLAH
Press=true

I was trying to see if its possible to add line breaks so I could do

ONPRESS= BLAH BLAH
ONPRESS= ONPRESS + LINEBREAK + BLAH BLAH
ONPRESS= ONPRESS + LINEBREAK + BLAH BLAH
ONPRESS= ONPRESS + LINEBREAK + BLAH BLAH
Press=true

Which I gave up on for the moment but if its possible would cut down on code emmensly

Yes you can, sorry if that didn't become clear above. For example in my code I usually add an element CRLF to the xml which is the linebreak characters and then my code I just XX.OnPress=(code1) ## CRLF ## (code2) ## CLRF ## (code3) ## ...

[samejima]

I tried doing that by creating a variable="
" then put it there could you put a more exact example because everything I tried just crashed me.

[gm9]

if you tried that runtime it won't work, if you put it in the xml that will work. Or just put it in the XML like this:

CRLF="
"

That's what I did before we had the entities.
