Why doesn't this code work?
-
Had to take out the pound sign because the stupid software made it into a link.
include
int update_HETR(UPDATE_FUNC_ARGS) {
int r;
r=pmap[x][y]>>8;
parts[r].temp=9999;
return 0;
}
It should make the temperature of the particle ALWAYS equal the maximum temperature. But it's not working. The temperature of the particle of HETR can actually be changed! I set it's initial temp to 9999 in the particle properties table in elementdata.c and then want to hold it perminently at that temperature so I used the above code in a file called hetr.c. I then followed the portion of the tutorial that told how to get it to recognise my new partical's update function, but it seems to not be able to detect the particle's update function becasause I'm able to change the temperature of the particle!!!!
Please help me. -
In powder.h, did you remember to make the particle recognize the .c file?
int update_GOO(UPDATE_FUNC_ARGS);
int update_HETR(UPDATE_FUNC_ARGS);
int update_HSWC(UPDATE_FUNC_ARGS);... "Heats objects it touches", ST_SOLID, TYPE_SOLID, &update_HETR}, -

Vanquidh told me to tell you this at IRC: "Your code is little short and you will need a little more code to get it to work, it would be better if you went back to the coding tutorial(https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Coding-tutorial.html) and followed the part down the bottom about how hetr works and your should be able to get it to work, thecode there is a bit overcomplicated but it is good to teach you about things which you would use.." I hope it helps. -

You've put x and y the wrong way round. It should be pmap[y][x].
However, there's an easier way of accessing the current particle in the update function.parts[i].temp
All update functions have the same variables passed to them:
i - the index of the particle being updated
x, y - the co-ordinates of the particle being updated
surround_space - whether there is empty space around the particle
nt - whether there is a particle around the current particle, that is NOT the current particle's type#define UPDATE_FUNC_ARGS int i, int x, int y, int surround_space, int nt -

Thanks I was missing this part:
... "Heats objects it touches", ST_SOLID, TYPE_SOLID, &update_HETR},"
I just added the &update_HETR to that line (previously I'd copied DMND as my base so I wouldn't have to type all that line myself, but it didn't have an &update_DMND in it at all). But now I see it works with adding the &update_HETR code to the line. Thanks a bunch!
