What is this? //=================================================================================== // --- ZScript built-in functions and variables --- //=================================================================================== /* * These functions are all INTERNAL to ZQuest. They require no header * or other import directives to work, and are all direct representations * of ZASM instructions. * * These functions and commands are the BASIC BUILDING BLOCKS of ZScript: * While they require no other functions to work, ALL other functions * in headers (such as std.zh) RELY, and OPERATE using these functions. * * Thus, it is essential to know what each of these does, how they work, * and how to use them. * * For other included functions, that are not internal (i.e. external functions) * please read the documentation specific to each header. These are individual * files (e.g. std.txt), however if you wish to view all the pre-packaged ZScript * functions, and commands, you may view the EXTENDED DOCUMENTATION, as * those documentation files contain all of the 'Essential ZScript' that * you will want to use. * * Where possible, the ZASM instruction used by the functions, and the * commands detailed herein are listed inline with the entry for the related * function / command. Full (public) ZASM documentation is, sadly incomplete. * * Note: Functions and variables other than global functions are properties * of **objects**. Objects are divided into NAMESPACEs and CLASSes, and the * the syntax for using them is: * * [object name]->[property] * * where "[object name]" is the object's name (e.g. Link, Game, Screen)/ * and "[property]" is the funcion. * * Example: * void GetCurDMap() is a Game property, and is called as: * * Game->GetCurDMap(); * * "Link", "Screen" and "Game" are always available and don't need to be * instantiated, while you must initialise other classes, such as ffc, item, * and npc. * * ZScript functions are of the types: int, float, bool, and void. Of these, * only void does not return a value. (The void type is normally used to run * a series of instructions, or to set values). The other types retrun values * appropriate to their type. * * Note: In the following, "int" indicates that a parameter is truncated by a * function to an integer, or that the return value will always be an integer * however, ZScript itself makes no distinction between int and float types. */ /************************************************************************************************************/ ////////////////// /// ZASM Flags /// ////////////////// ZASM uses a series of special flags, to determine how it should follow logical instructions, including the following: SCRIPT FLAGS TRUEFLAG : A condition in the script, is true MOREFLAG : Must be set manually with ZASM. FALSEFLAG : Must be set namually with ZASM. LESSFLAG : Must be set manually with ZASM. Instructions SETTRUE : Set the Script Flag TRUEFLAG. SETTRUE Sets a true condition for the Assembler, if a COMPARERV and COMPARER validate. This is used when making statements in ZScript. SETFALSE: Set the Script Flag FALSEFLAG: ZScript does not do this. SETMORE : Set the Script FLag MOREFLAG: ZScript does not do this. SETLESS : Set the Script Flag LESSFLAG: ZScript does not do this. These flags are used in evaluation instructions, to determine if an instruction should run. Examples of these are as follows: GOTOTRUE: Executes the GOTO instruction only if the Script Flag TRUEFLAG is enabled. GOTOFALSE: Executes the GOTO instruction only if the Script Flag FALSEFLAG is enabled. GOTOMORE: Executes the GOTO instruction only if the Script Flag MOREFLAG is enabled. GOTOLESS: Executes the GOTO instruction only if the Script Flag LESSFLAG is enabled. In contrast, GOTO/GOTOR ignore all flags, and conditions. ZScript always compiles down to GOTO, GOTOR, and GOTOTRUE instructions. The other FLAG-typed GOTO instruction types are valid only in ZASM, and serve no useful purpose. GOTOLESS, GOTOMORE, and GOTOFALSE are effectively deprecated. //======================================================= //--- Instruction Processing Order and General Timing --- ========================================================= 1. Instructions in Global script Init (if starting a new game) 2. Instructions in Global Script OnContinue (is resuming a game) 3. Instructions immediately inside the run() function of a global active script. 4. Instructions in the global active script's infinite loop prior to Waitdraw, if (5) does not exist, or on the first frame of the game. 5. Instructions from an ffc script positioned after (an illegal) Waitdraw() instruction in that script from the previous frame. Note: Requires being on at least the second frame of a game session. 6. Instructions in the global active script prior to Waitdraw(). 7. Instructions in an ffc script, other than (5), excluding draw commands. 8. Screen Scrolling (2.50.2, or later) 9. Instructions from item scripts. 10. Waitdraw() in a global active script. 11. Engine writing to Link->Dir and Link->Tile. 12. Instructions in the global active script, called after Waitdraw() 12(b). Screen Scrolling ( 2.50.0, and 2.50.1 ) 13. Drawing from FFCs 14. Instructions in an OnExit script, if the game is exiting. 15. Return to (5). //================= //--- Pointers --- //================= Global array pointers start at 4096 (when traced).

Error codes are broken down by type: P** Preprocessing errors. S** Symbol table errors. T** Type-checking errors. G** Code Generation Errors ** Array Errors ---We need to change these to A** Errors of each class are given unique numerical identifiers, ranging from 00 to 41, such as P01, or G33. The letter code will give you an indication of the type of error, and the full code will give you specific details. In ZQuest v2.50.2 and later, the compiler will report name of the script that generated (where possible). This applies only to errors caused by scripts, and not errors at a 'global' level, such as global functions. Thus, if you are using 2.50.2, or later, an error without a script name is likely to be caused at global scope. ##################### ## Specific Errors ## ## Preprocessing ## ##################### P00: Can't open or parse input file! Your script file contains illegal characters, or is not plain ASCII Text. Otherwise, it is possible that the compiler is unable to write to the disk, that the disk is out of space. Last, your file may be bad, such as a file in the qrong encoding format (not ASCII text). P01: Failure to parse imported file foo. Generally means that you are trying to call a file via the import directive that does not exist; or that you have a typo in the filename, or path. P02: Recursion limit of x hit while preprocessing. Caused by attempting to import a file recursively. For example: If you declare: import "script.z" ... and ... the file 'script.z' has the line: ' import "script.z" ' inside it. This error should no longer exist! Recursive imports should resolve as duplicate finction/variable/script declarations. Error P03: You may only place import statements at file scope. Import directives ( import "file.z" ) may only be declared at a global scope, not within a function, statement, or script. P35: There is already a constant with name 'foo' defined. You attempted to define the same constant more than once. The identifier (declared name) of all constants MUST be UNIQUE. ##################### ## Specific Errors ## ## Symbol Table ## ##################### S04: Function 'foo' was already declared with that type signature. You attempted to declare a function with the same parameters twice, int he same scope. This can occur when using different types, if the compiler cannot resolve a difference between the signatures. To fix this, remove one function,or change its signature (the arguments inside the parens) so that each is unique or; If you declare a functiona t a global scope, and the same at a local scope, remove one of the two. Note that return type is NOT enough to distinguish otherwise identical function declarations and that 'int' and 'float' types are the same type internally, so int/float is identical insofar as the signature is concerned. If two function type signatures are identical except that one has a parameter of type float where the other has the same parameter of type int, you will have a conflict. There are two additional subtle situations where you might get a conflict: 1. A function declared at file scope might conflict with a function that's implicitly added to file scope by the preprocessor because of an import statement. 2. A function might conflict with one already reserved by the ZScript standard library (std.zh). S05: Function parameter 'foo' cannot have void type. You cannot set a parameter (argument of a function) as a void type. e.g.: int foo(void var){ return var+1; } This is illegal, and the param 'var' muct be changed to a legal type. S06: Duplicate script with name 'foo' already exists. Script names must be wholly unique. For example, if there's already an ffc script named 'my_script' you cannot declare an item script with the name 'my_script'. S07: Variable 'foo' can't have type void. Variables at any scope may not have a void type. Only functions may have this type. S08: There is already a variable with name 'foo' defined in this scope. Variable identifiers must be unique at any given scope. Thus, this is illegal: ffc script my_ffc(){ void run(int x){ int v = 1; int w = 10; int x = 0.5; int y = 13; int z = v+w+x+y; Trace(z); } } As the variable 'x' is declared in the params of the run() function, it cannot be declared inside the function with the same identifier (name). S09: Variable 'foo' is undeclared. You attempted to reference a variable identifier (namme) that has not been declared. Usually this is due to a typo: int var; if ( val > 0 ) Link->X += var; Here, 'val' will return this error, as it was not declared. A variable with the give name could not be found in the current or any enclosing scope. Keep in mind the following subtleties: 1. To access a different script's global variables, or to access a global variable from within a function delcared at file scope, you must use the dot operator: scriptname.varname. 2. To access the data members of the ffc or item associated with a script, you must use the this pointer: this->varname. 3. ZScript uses C++-style for loop scoping rules, so variables declared in the header part of the for loop cannot be accessed outside the loop: Code: for(int i=0; i<5;i++); i = 2; //NOT legal S10: Function 'foo' is undeclared. You attempted to call a function that was not declared. This is usually due to either a typo in your code, or failing to import a mandatory header. Check that you are importing 'std.zh' as well, as failing to do this will result in a slew of this error type. S11: Script 'foo' must implement void run(). Every script must implement run() function call. The signature may be empty, or contain arguments. Zelda Classic uses all the code inside the run() function when executing the script, so a script without this function would do nothing, and will return an error. S12: Script 'foo's' run() must have return type void. Is this error even implemented? The run() function is automatic, and never declared by type, unless the user tries to declare a separate run(params) function with a different type. S26: Pointer types (ffc, etc) cannot be declared as global variables. /* It is illegal to declare a global variable (that is, a variable in script scope) or any type other than int, float, and bool. Why? Recall that global variables are permanent; they persist from frame to frame, screen to screen. Pointer types, on the other hand, reference ffcs or items that are transitory; they become stale after a single WAITFRAME, so it makes no sense to try to store them for the long term. */ This explanation may no longer be true, as pointers may no longer be dereferenced by Waitframe(), and global pointers may also be implemented in a future version. S30: Script foo may have only one run method. You may not call a run() function more than once per script. Your run method may have any type signature, but because of this flexibility, the compiler cannot determine which run script it the "real" entry point of the script if multiple run methods are declared. S32: Script foo is of illegal type. The only legal script tokens are: global, ffc, and item. You cannot declare other types (such as itemdata script). S38: Script-scope global variable declaration syntax is deprecated; put declarations at file scope instead. You cannot declare a global variable in a global script, outside the run function. Example: global script active{ int x; void run(){ x = 16; } } This is ILLEGAL. The declaration of variable 'x' must either be at a global scope, or at the scope of the run function. Do this, instead: int x; global script active{ void run(){ x = 16; } } This creates a global variable at the file scope. S39: Array 'foo' can't have type void. Arrays may be types of int, float, bool, ffc, item, itemdata, npc, lweapon, or eweapon; but arrays with a void type are illegal. S40: Pointer types (ffc, etc) cannot be declared as global arrays. As of 2.50.2, global array declarations may only have the following types: int, float, bool Any other type is illegal. S41: There is already an array with name 'foo' defined in this scope. As with variables, and functions, arrays must have unique identifiers within the same scope. ################### ## LEXING ERRORS ## ################### L24: Too many global variables. The assembly language to which ZScript is compiled has a built-in maximum of 256 global variables. ZScript can't do anything if you exceed this limit. ##################### ## Specific Errors ## ## Type Checking ## ##################### T13: Script 'foo' has id that's not an integer. /* I do not know what can cause this error, or if it ever occurs. */ T14: Script 'foo's' id must be between 0 and 255. Occurs if you try to load more than 256 scripts of any given type at any given time. /* The maximum number of concurrent scripts (of any given type?) is 256. */ T15: Script 'foo's' id is already in use. You attempted to laod two scripts into the same slot. /* I do not know if this is EVER possible. */ T16: Cast from foo to bar. The only "safe" implicit casts are from int to float and vice-versa (since they are the same type), and from int (or float) to bool (0 becomes false, anything else true). The results of any other kind of cast are unspecified. /* Is this error still in effect? Casting from npc to itemdata, or others, usually results in a different error code. Further, Cannot cast from wtf to int, is a thing. */ Explicit casts are unimplemented and unnecessary. T17: Cannot cast from foo to bar. You attempted to typecast illegally, such as tyring to typecast from bool to float. T18: Operand is void. Occurs if you try to use a void type value in an operation. /* I do not know if this is EVER possible. */ T19: Constant division by zero. While constant-folding, the compiler has detected a division by zero. Note that only division by a CONSTANT zero can be detected at compile time. The following code, for instace, compiles with no errors but will most likely still crash ZC: Code: int x=0; 1/0; T20: Truncation of constant x. Constants can only be specified to four places of decimal precision, withing the legal range of values. Any extra digits are simply ignored by the compiler, which then issues this warning. Any values greater than MAX_CONSTANT, or less then MIN_CONSTANT will result in this error. ## Applies to variables, but does not throw an error: Both floats and ints can only be specified to four places of decimal precision. Any extra digits are simply ignored by the compiler, which then issues this warning. Any values greater than MAX_VARIABLE, or less then MIN_VARIABLE will result in this error. ######## T21: Could not match type signature 'foo'. When calling a function, you used the wrong number, or types, of parameters. The compiler can determine no way of casting the parameters of a function call so that they match the type signature of a declared function. For instance, in the following snippet Code: int x = Sin(true); since true cannot be cast to a float, this function call cannot be matched to the library function Sin, triggering this error. T22: Two or more functions match type signature 'foo'. If there is ambiguity as to which function declaration a function call should matched to, the compiler will attempt to determine the "best fit." These measures are however occasionally still not enough. Consider for instance the following snippet: Code: void foo(int x, bool y) {} void foo(bool x, int y) {} foo(1,1); matching either of the two foo declarations requires one cast, so no match can be made. In contrast, the following code has no error: Code: void foo(int x, bool y) {} void foo(bool x, bool y) {} foo(1,1); (The first foo function is matched.) It is best to design functions so that noambiguity is possible, by addign extra params, to change the signature or by using different identifiers (function names) when using more params is not desirable. T23: This function must return a value. All return statements must be followed by an expression if the enclosing function returns a value. Note that the compiler does NOT attempt to verify that all executions paths of a function with non-void return type actually returns a value; if you fail to return a value, the return value is undefined. For instace, the following is a legal (though incorrect) ZScript program: int foo() {} /* I don't believe anythign ever returns this error. I've seen functions with int/float/bool types, and no returns compile, without errors. Perhaps we should fix this, and issue a warning during compilation? */ T25: Constant bitshift by noninteger amount; truncating to nearest integer. The bitshift operators (<< and >>) require that their second parameters be whole integers. T27: Left of the arrow (->) operator must be a pointer type (ffc, etc). It makes no sense to write "x->foo" if x is of type int. You may only use the dereference (->) operator on pointer types. T28: That pointer type does not have a function 'foo'. You tried to use the dereference operator (->) to call a function that does not exist for the pointer type being dereferenced. Check the list of member variables and functions and verify you have not mistyped the function you are trying to call. This generally occurs when calling internal functions, using the incorrect class, or namespace, such as: Game->Rectangle() instead of Screen->Rectangle() The extra std.zh component 'shortcuts.zh' assists in preventing this error type. T29: That pointer type does not have a variable 'foo'. You tried to use the dereference operator (->) to call a member variable that does not exist for the pointer type being dereferenced.

This generally occurs when calling internal variables, using the incorrect class, or namespace, such as: Link->D[] instead of Screen->D[] /* The extra std.zh component 'shortcuts.zh' assists in preventing this error type. Probaby not, as this requires silly amounts of functions to handle variables with identical identifiers. C'est la vie. perhaps we'll do it, but I really am not fond of the idea. */ As above, but the member variable you tried to access does not exist. Error T31: The index of 'foo' must be an integer. /* This has been deprecated, so who cares? */ T36: Cannot change the value of constant variable 'foo'. You cannot assign a CONSTANT to another value. T37: Global variables can only be initialized to constants or globals declared in the same script. You cannot (directly) simultaneously declare, and initialise a global value using the value of a variable at the scope of another script, or function. Example: int x = script.a; ffc script foo{ int a = 6; void run(){ for ( int q = 9; q < Rand(15); q++ ) a++; } } This is ILLEGAL. You cannot initialise the value of the global variable 'x' using the local value of 'a' in the ffc script 'foo'. /* I believe this is deprecated, as I do not believe that script level declarations remain legal */ T45 (old version, T38): Arrays can only be initialized to numerical values You attempted to declare an array using a floating point value (e.g. 10.5), constant or equation, rather than a numeric literal. Consider that you want to declare an array with an explicit size of '40': These are ILLEGAL: int my_arr[26+14]; const int CONSTANT = 30; int my_arr[CONSTANT]; int my_arr[CONSTANT/2+20] YOu must declare an arrray with a numeric literal: int my_array[40]; This is the only legal way to declare the size of an array as of 2.50.2. ##################### ## Specific Errors ## ## @Generation ## ##################### G33: Break must lie inside of an enclosing for or while loop. The 'break' keyword aborts the loop (in a for, while, or do statement) in which it is called. You must be in a loop to break out of one, so calling 'break' outside of a loop is illegal. G34: Continue must lie inside of an enclosing for or while loop. The 'continue' keyword halts a loop, and repeats the loop from its head (in a for, while, or do statement) in which it is called. You must be in a loop to continue one, so calling 'continue' outside of a loop is illegal. As the above error, but with the continue keyword. Continue aborts the current iteration of the loop and skips to the next iteration. ################## ## Array Errors ## ################## Error A42 (old, Error O1): Array is too small. ( Converting to A42 in 2.50.3 ) You attempted to declare an array, with a set of values, where the number of values in the set exceeds an explicit array size declaration: int foo[4]={1,2,3,4,5}; The declared size is '4', but you tried to initialise it with five elements. /* THis doesn't seem right, as this seems to be covered by Err 02. Check the source to see what causes this. */ Error O2: Array initializer larger than specified dimensions. ( Converting to A43 in 2.50.3) You attempted to initialise an array, with a set of values, where the number of values in the set exceeds an explicit array size declaration: int foo[4]={1,2,3,4,5}; The declared size is '4', but you tried to initialise it with five elements. Error O3: String array initializer larger than specified dimensions, space must be allocated for NULL terminator. ( Convering to A44 in 2.50.3 ) YOu attempted to seclare a QUOTEDSTRING of an explicit size, but you didn;t add space for the NULL terminator; or you used more chars than you allocated: int my_string[17]="This is a string."; THis allocates only enough indices for the chars, but not for the NULL terminator. The array size here needs to be 18. int my_string[12]="THis is a string."; You tried to initialise a QUOTEDSTRING that is longer than the array size. The minimum array size for this is '18'. It is generally best either to declare strings with an implicit size (set by the initialiser): int my_string[]="This is a string"; This reads the nuber of chars, adds one to the count (for NULL), and sizes the array to 18. ...or... Declare the string with an arbitrarily large size: int my_string[256]="This is a string"; This reserves 256 chars. Only 18 are used, and the rest of the indices are initialised as '0' (NULL). YOu may later populate the unused space, if desired. ################# ## Misc Errors ## ################# FATAL FATAL ERROR I0: bad internal error code A fallback error is no other type matches the problem. /* I have no idea what causes this.

Check the size of your array, and try again. Perhaps you have a for loop, or other loop that is parsing the array, and trying to read beyond its index ranges. "Invalid pointer (%i) passed to array (don't change the values of your array pointers)\n" Array pointers values in operation are 1 through 4095, ( and 4096 to 8164? as declared global pointers ?). An array may not have a pointer of '0', nor may you reference an array for which a pointer does not exist. Often, this error is caused by attempting to reference an array that you created, without updating the saved game slot as the old save does not have the array allocated, but the script is attempting to reference its global ID. "Script tried to deallocate memory at invalid address %ld\n" "Script tried to deallocate memory that was not allocated at address %ld\n" /* Script attempted to change the value of an array index // that does not exist // due to the inability to declare an array because too many registers are in use? "You were trying to reference an out-of-bounds array index for a screen's D[] array (%ld); valid indices are from 0 to 7.\n" You attempted to read, or write to a Screen->D[register] that was less than 1, or greater than 10. Check for loops, and vriables that read/write to Screen->D for any that can fall outside the legal range.

It is possible that you tried to read outside that range, or that the pointer that you were loading is not valid. Check NumItems(), NumLWeapons(), NumEWeapons(0, and NumNPCs() before referencing them; and verify that the object ->IsValid() Check for loops that may attempt ro reference items outside of the range that actually exist. Look for any for loops that access these objects, that start, or end at zero. The best way to ensure this does not occur, is to make a for loop as follows: for ( int q = 1; q < Screen->NumLWeapons; q++ ) //or// for ( int q = Screen->NumLWeapons(); q > 0; q-- ) ...replacing NumLWeapons() withthe appropriate type that you are attempting to load. You may be attempting to refrence a pointer that has fallen out of scope. You may be attempting to reference a pointer that is no longer valid, or has been removed. Check ( pinter->IsValid() ) by itself, to ensure this does not occur: if ( pointer->IsValid ) { if ( pointer->ID == LW_FIRE ) //Do things. } This helps to prevent loading invalid pointers. //////////////////////////////// /// Maths and Logical Errors /// //////////////////////////////// "Script attempted to divide %ld by zero!\n" "Script attempted to modulo %ld by zero!\n" "Script attempted to pass %ld into ArcSin!\n" "Script attempted to pass %ld into ArcCos!\n" "Script tried to calculate log of 0\n" "Script tried to calculate log of %f\n" "Script tried to calculate ln of 0\n" "Script tried to calculate ln of %f\n" "Script attempted to calculate 0 to the power 0!\n" "Script attempted to calculate square root of %ld!\n" Look for scripts that pass a variable into these functions, or use a variable in a mathematical operation, that may be zero at any point, and correct it to ensure that it is never zero, or that it is never illegal for the type of mathematical operation you wish to perform.
