Function Argument Defaults

[Tom]

Other problems encountered is function argument defaults aren't set.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated()
{
  player.chat = test(); // Returns "Error: No text"
}

function test( texx = "Pete" )
{
  if (texx == "")
    return "Error: No text";

  return texx;
}

I don't think there was intent for default arguments to be set o_O

PHP Code:

function Foo(bar) {
  if(bar == "") bar = "Default Text";
} 


You could just use that to set default arguments.

It still should be have defaults set... Let's say if we WANT "" to be a possibility!

Then you should make it in the form of a suggestion, not a bug.

I do believe it was possible, however, in the former versions. Likewise, it does not generate any errors when I do put defaults in the function, thereby, it would be characterized as a bug because it does not report it as the feature isn't there. It just doesn't work!

I don't remember there being any mention of default parameters?

Just because it's legitimate syntax-wise does not mean it's an implemented feature.

function somefunc(/*arg1, arg2*/)
{
  temp.arg1 = params.size() > 0 ? params[0] : "default";
  temp.arg2 = params.size() > 1 ? params[1] : "default";
}

I win.
