Expansion - Access AdditionalSourcecode file

[DanH]

@lindon thanks

[d.healey]

@danh This function is for loading json data. Your file should contain a json object and the file extension should be .json.

Post a bigger code example so I can see what you're doing more fully, or post a minimal snippet

[DanH]

@d-healey this is the crux of what I'm trying to do: switch expansions via combobox (fine), and change the value of 'maxrandom' via a json in each expansion.

var maxrandom;

inline function newcombobox(newExpansion)
{

       if(isDefined(newExpansion))
        
       
    {
        maxrandom = newExpansion.loadDataFile("SMNUMBER.json");
        Console.print(maxrandom);
    }
    else
    {
        maxrandom = 313;
    }

}

@danh

var maxrandom;

Stop using vars :p

Show us where you are getting newExpansion from.

reg?

Show us where you are getting newExpansion from.

erm.... I'm not?

Everything else is working though
Switching images, sample maps etc

[d.healey]

@danh

reg?

In this case, yes.

erm.... I'm not?

Where are you calling your newcombobox function from?

@danh Show me

This post is deleted!

[d.healey]

@danh Can you show me where you are calling your function from

[DanH]

@d-healey

expHandler.setExpansionCallback(newcombobox);

newcombobox(undefined);

[d.healey]

@danh Well there's your problem. undefined is not an expansion.

[DanH]

@d-healey thanks! ok I've commented that out (!) but error persists... hmmmmm

[d.healey]

@danh I'm seeing tiny little windows into your code so it's impossible for me to debug this. I suggest creating a minimal snippet that contains only what's necessary to demonstrate this problem.

[DanH]

@d-healey yep fair enough, will do

Place this at the top of the function and tell me what output it gives.

Console.print(newExpansion.getRootFolder().toString(0));

[DanH]

@d-healey said in Expansion - Access AdditionalSourcecode file:

Console.print(newExpansion.getRootFolder().toString(0));

I get the path of the expansion folder on my drive

[d.healey]

@danh And the path is correct and that's the same root folder of where your data json file is?

Also try this in the top of the function and tell me what the output is

Console.print(trace(newExpansion.getDataFileList()));
