Get CURRENT_SPEED;

	animtime = Get CURRENT_SPEED; //CURRENT_SPEED = 29
	animtime = ANIMFACTOR / animtime;

This Code don't work, spring give an error:

Cob error, unknown get costant 29.

How do I get the current speed of a unit?

So is this a .bos you're trying to compile into a .cob?

the bos compile without errors, but when I build the unit spring gives this error continuously. ("Cob error, unknown get costant 29.").

Code: Select all


MotionControl() 
{
 while (TRUE)
 {
  animtime = Get CURRENT_SPEED; 
  animtime = ANIMFACTOR / animtime;
  ///ANIMATION CODE [...]
  sleep(100)
 }
}

Because Spring doesn't support getting the current speed...

OK, tanks for the replies!

get CURRENT_SPEED; was from TA:Kingdoms, not from TA. Although some progress has been made, Spring doesn't fully support TA:K units yet.

It would be trivial to add support for that, but i think we're just better off waiting for the new scripting language instead of coding, copiling, recoding, then recompiling for the new language

I disagree, and think it would be good to have Spring support all TA:K cob commands.

Indeed. The new scripts won't replace the old ones, just give fresh developers much more powerful alternitives. Inclusion of the TA:K cob commands will allow tonnes of old units to be dumped into spring much like the current old units were. Mod makers love units they don't have to fabricate from scratch.

Will the new scripts support external model animations?
