Adventure Game Studio

Hello all.Ã,  I added a few new strings to my repeately_execute function for my RPG's status screen (which all worked great until I added the last 2-3 strings), and now when I run the game, I get the following error as soon as it loads :

Error: run_text_script1: error -6(Error(line58): stack overflow) running function 'repeatedly_execute'

I have moved the variables around in the list to make sure it wasn't something I did by naming a string the name I gave it, but it didn't matter.Ã,  No matter what string is being listed on line 58 it crashes.Ã,  Is there a limit on what I can have/use in repeatedly_execute?

Code posted below :

#sectionend repeatedly_executeÃ,  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE


Any help greatly appreciated.

By the way, if I // out the EXP and the EXPNEEDED lines the thing works fine.  EXP is 0 and EXPNEEDED is 100 also.

I think it may be that it is just trying to do too much in the repeatedly_execute...

If so, is there some way to get around it?

You'll get this if you define over 4 KB's worth of variables inside a function.

Since strings are 200 bytes in length, declaring 21 of them will be too much.

Basically, there's no need for so many strings, just do this:

string buffer;

StrFormat(buffer,"%d", GetGlobalInt(14));   
SetLabelText(4,1,buffer);   
StrFormat(buffer,"%d", GetGlobalInt(16)); 
SetLabelText(4,0,buffer);
StrFormat(buffer,"%d", GetGlobalInt(15));
SetLabelText(4,2,buffer); 

etc

I don't quite get it.Ã,  What do I do to 'buffer' to get it to work?

OH!!!  My appologies.  It has been a LONG day :)

I took a second and looked at exactly what it was doing.  Quite ingenious!  Simple, but ingenious :)

Thanks again!

And you could use a for loop a bunch of these, it would simplify your code
