Variable Problems

[dodecadev]

This split command block splits the command into different blocks for my block drawing project.

For some reason the draw block says that the "GLOBAL_COLOR" variable doesn't exist, even though it does.

Any ideas why?

Grump. What does the error message say? "inside a custom block..." In this context, that means either SPLIT COMMAND or DRAW REPORTER. But what scripts do you show us? Toplevel ones! Not custom blocks. That wouldn't be the end of the world if you posted script pics made by Snap!, which contain all the code of your project. But instead you post screenshots. So how are we supposed to debug your code??

Sorry, once in a while when I'm really tired I get like this and someone gets yelled at. I apologize. But I'm not deleting the post, so make of that what you will.

If you mess with metaprogramming for a while this error does appear a lot when messing with variables. For some reason, it seems variables created with metaprogramming don't have the same scope as global variables, local variables, or script variables.

I've seen these kinds of complaints somewhere on the forum, but I can't find it.

Oh I can

Calling a var from my blocks results in an error

I came up with this idea to be able to get the values of all the variables in the project by grabbing them from the (my [blocks]) list, and that worked. [image] Oly problem was, whenever I called a variable directly from the list, it results in an unidentified error. [image] (I turned off blurred shadows so the error was more noticeable) Just to be clear, this works if calling the variable directly. [image] [image] This does yield the same results with global variables. I tested this …

It's not about metaprogramming, but it's in the same idea.
