Expansion - Access AdditionalSourcecode file

[DanH]

Getting a Can't find data file error with the below code:

maxrandom = newExpansion.loadDataFile("SMNUMBER.js");

SMNUMBER.js is in the AdditionalSourcecode folder in the expansion folder.

the code in that file is simply:

{
34
}

Any ideas?

@danh maybe start by making sure it is code

{
var t = 34;
}

Not sure if it will help, but ...

@lindon :face_with_tears_of_joy: thanks

@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.

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

@danh

var maxrandom;

Stop using vars :p

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?

@d-healey interface script

@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));
