Craig Newman: re: I would cringe if I saw someone using a reserved word as a variable, and blanch if that word was as deep and embedded as "true". You are lucky the machine did not explode.
What the heck are you talking about?
It was a TEST script created to show the glitch. My real script looked nothing like that.
“true” was not being used as a variable.
“If true = true then” yields the same result as saying “if true then”. It creates an unconditional fall-through. I do the same kind of thing to “comment out” entire blocks of code with “if false then ... end if”. Why do I do that? Because I don’t like having to actually comment out entire blocks of code in the script. LC’s script editor has a problem with drag-select. Sometimes it gets “stuck” and will scroll all the way to the bottom of the script with no way to stop it.
You code your way, I’ll code mine.
But, I won’t judge your techniques, ‘k?
