Unknown if-statement Error

01-07-2009, 01:46 AM

Can someone explain to me how this can occur? I would assume it's some kind of bug.

This is how it looks like.

JASS:

code... //this runs

if (conditions) then
  //this doesn't run
  if (conditions) then
    //this doesn't run
  else
    //this runs
  endif
  //this runs
endif

code...//this runs

Real code (yes it is messy)

Hidden information:

Yes I changed some names, but that shouldn't matter.

Ammorth	is * a valid character for names? I wouldn't think it would work (unless that denotes a name change).

DioD	Asterics (*) is not valid char for vars and functions.

But I'll change it if it makes you happy.

There are no syntax errors, only run-time errors.

Vestras	The syntax checker can fuckup sometimes.

Well what could be wrong then? The code almost runs perfectly fine as long as the first one does not equal to false.
There are 4 scenarios:

Table:

1st if	2nd if	Runs Code
true	true	Mark 2
true	false	Mark 3
false	false	Mark 4
false	true	Mark 4

EDIT:
Okey something is heavily wrong with the code at Mark 3..
Currently it looks like:

JASS:

    else
        //Mark 3
        call some_SimError(GetOwningPlayer(someUnit), "*")
        call BJDebugMsg("This does show")
    endif

The debugmsg runs, however if I put it like this.

JASS:

    else
        //Mark 3
        call BJDebugMsg("This does show")
        call some_SimError(GetOwningPlayer(someUnit), "*")
    endif

It does NOT print the text "This does show". I've made sure some_SimError doesn't crash the thread with a DebugMsg at the end of the function.
Why does the first example show, but the second does not?

EDIT2:
Ok the problem seems solved atm, the problem was that if the item "GetManipulatedItem()" was removed before the code the first if statement returned true. The code currently works as supposed to.
However, that does not explain the very odd errors I had before.
