= operator to assign variables not working if variable is getarg

[Leeg]

I can do this:

if (!getarg(1)) set getarg(1), [email protected][0];

But I can't do this:

if (!getarg(1)) getarg(1) = [email protected][0];

parse_line: expected ';'

 

Intended behaviour? I thought 'set' was no longer needed in any context.

I have no idea how this even worked for you in the first place...

getarg() is a function, not a variable, you just cannot set a value, it just gets the value you passed when calling the function.

you need a variable

[email protected] = getarg(1);
if ([email protected]) [email protected] = [email protected][0];

So... it shouldn't be working with 'set' in the first place...  ;D I guess I'll modify my code.

in your case, you have to use the set() script command.

if (!getarg(1)) set getarg(1), [email protected][0];

if I recall correctly this should be the case.

Yes. I already knew it works with set.
