#event troubles

I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I've been doing wrong, but now am pretty convinced there is a bug in the new event parsing code.

The following works as intended:

Code: Select all

#event TashLanded "#*#glances nervously about."
#event SlowLanded "#*#slows down."

Sub Event_TashLanded
	/echo TashLanded
/return

Sub Event_SlowLanded
	/echo SlowLanded
/return

Sub Main
	:TestLoop
		/doevents
	/goto :TestLoop
/return

Making the following modification to the events also works:

Code: Select all

#event TashLanded "#*# glances nervously about."
#event SlowLanded "#*#slows down."

As does

Code: Select all

#event TashLanded "#*#glances nervously about."
#event SlowLanded "#*# slows down."

This however, does not work (events are never triggered)

Code: Select all

#event TashLanded "#*# glances nervously about."
#event SlowLanded "#*# slows down."

I've seen the same problem. removing the leading space fixes it for me also. I spent a little while reading Blech.h but I didnt see anything about spaces or tokenizing which would be the obvious places based on the odd behaviour.

I have to agree with seeing this same issue. Not really a big deal to modify your macros to have it work, but it did take me a bit to figure out why events weren't being parsed.

interesting, I'll look into that.

Yup, same problem here. Was a bit of a mystery why some of my events weren't firing.
