Variable Declaration.

[Nuclear Slingshot]

When declaring a variable in LSL, can you not use an expression in the declaration?  I though you could, but I've been away from SL for awhile and perhaps I'm misremembering. 

The specific statement in question is:

float angle=PI/3.0;

 which results in a sytax error.

It's not a big deal if you can't, I was just curious.

You can declar the variable at the start of your script: float angle;

 

But you cannot set it's value until the script is executing.. angle = PI/3.0;

 

As far as I remember anyway, haven't been scripting for years now!

You can use an expression with the declartion if you declare the varable inside the scope of a state (i.e. in an event). You can't use an expression when declaring a global variable - only 'straight' values like:

float gfFloat = 0.333;

OK, thanks Darkie. That clears that up. Part of the problem is that, other than LSL, I usually program in C#, so I tend to cross-pollinate syntactical rules between the two.
