ok, since no one requested anything, I worked on one of my own requests:

TWX doesn't have an assignment operator, well is has:



... but wouldn't it be nice if you could use ":=" instead?



ok, I still want to put a ; at the end of that, but isn't that a lot easier to read?

and wouldn't it be nice if you could use "*=", "/=", "+=", "-=", "++", and "--" operators like this:



Well, i just finished writing this feature, and here is the output of the above script:



I think I managed to get all 7 new mathematical operators in there, and used a few of the old operators that most people forget were added in TWX 2.0. It is just a bit of compiler fakery, as it is still using setvar, add, multiple, etc... internally... but I think it is so much easier to read when using assignment operators instead of functions. don't you?

Very nice Micro, I think I eluded to wanting something like this months (years?) ago.

I may get back into the game at some point and will surely appreciate your efforts.

Missing Modulus %

But, I don't know if the % symbol is recognizable for TWXProxy and have been thinking of when it may be applicable to a script.

Just something I ponder.

It is not the only operator missing:



Modulus is the remainder of a division operation.

10 / 4 = 2.5
10 % 4 = 5

Sounds like something an accountant would use.

I might add it as it is the only "Arithmetic" operator missing.
Maybe it would come in handy in a haggling routine?

No, I actually learned about that when I went back to learn programming.

Maybe EP could use it for his haggle?

I know he uses floating point math in EP haggle, so I am not sure.

If this is some tricky way to expose how his haggling routine actually works.. then well played!

No I haven't looked at the code.

Well... it floats the wrong way sometimes, maybe he does need Modulus

Pretty much everyone knows how it works now. The source code is out there.

Nice work Micro!

+EP+

Thanks, That means a lot coming from you!

I added the modulus command and operator, and I already found a use for it when writing the new performance timer commands:



In this example "$Timer1 % 1000" returns the number of ms elpased.

Nice!

I don't see a current TWXP thread that is general purpose, so posting here.

I am reading that the new switchbot command kills all active scripts in its function. This conflicts with the intention of the botKit script I had been working on.

Would it be possible to instead have the swithbot command not terminate/exempt any scripts set to run within the Auto Run tab of TWX?

botKit is intended to serve as a all around failsafe script that is initiated automatically during TWX startup.

Also, noting that botKit is designed to both reboot and/or swap out a user's bot.
