Hi all,
I encountered the following phenomenon, which IMO is quite irritating.
It's about "player"-Tiles in scripts with a parameter (screenshots
attached).
I made an empty script with a player-typed parameter an added a basic
method and varaiable-assignment (EllipseTalkTo1.png):
Ellipse>>talkto: player
Ellipse forward:5
Ellipse's heading :=0
Then I drag player-tiles off the parameter-area to replace the
Ellipse-tiles (EllipseTalkTo2.png):
Now it looks like
Ellipse>>talkto: player
Player forward:5
nil's heading :=0
It _should_ look like
Ellipse>>talkto: player
player forward:5
player's heading :=0
Then I change the parameter-type to sth. different and back
(EllipseTalkTo3.png, EllipseTalkTo4.png): "Player" and "nil" become "dot":
Ellipse>>talkto: player
dot forward:5
dot heading :=0
The _should_ be:
Ellipse>>talkto: player
dot forward:5
dot's heading :=0
I repeat step two an drag 'player'-tiles to replace the 'dot'-tiles. Now
it looks like (EllipseTalkTo5.png)
Ellipse>>talkto: player
Player forward:5
Player heading :=0
It _should_ look like
Ellipse>>talkto: player
player forward:5
player's heading :=0
So there are three problems:
- Should "player" be capitalized everywhere or nowhere?
- Why does "player's" become "nil's" at the beginning?
- Why is "'s" missing from the moment at which "dot" appears?
And finally I have a request from the point of localization: All
value-types of variables or parameters should get marked translatable. At
the moment this is true for 'Color' and 'Sound' only.
