Other Observations
handful of things I've noticed while ukgk deving that didn't warrant their own page
Miscellaneous Tidbits
seemingly no hard cap on the number of balloons a specific type of balloon has.
if you need to use quotation marks in strings for variables, you can wrap the string in apostrophe marks and it will be fine
EX (from weather code)
_reghumidity=”className=”humidity”><span class=””><span>(\d/*)<span class=”Percentage__percentSymbol__2Q_AR”>” //will break because of the multiple quotation marks in the string
_reghumidity='className='humidity'><span class=”'><span>(\d/*)<span class='Percentage__percentSymbol__2Q_AR'>' //apostrophes around the string - OK
2D Array Quirks
2D Arrays in sakurascript are pseudo-arrays, where the rows are strings separated with commas. you can’t change variables in the middle of a row; you need to redo the row and then re-add it to the 2D Array
Colors = “Yellow, Green, Blue, Red”
2DArray = (Food, Colors)
Food[2] -> “Pears”
2DArray[0][2] -> “Pears”
Colors[1] -> “Green”
2DArray[1][1] -> “Green”
2DArray[1][1] = “Purple” //will result in your ghost crashing
instead...
Colors[1] = “Purple”
2DArray[1] = Colors //this changes 2DArray[1][1] to “Purple”
Script Input and You
ctrl+s brings up script input, which you can use to test dialogue, change variables, and test lines of code.
%(variable) prints the variable
%(variable = value) changes variable to value. value can be a number, string, other variable, NULL (which erases the variable)
you can’t use quotation marks in script input. Use apostrophes for strings instead.
EX:
%(color = “Purple”) //wont work to set color to Purple
%(color = ‘Purple’) //OK
