Help with INI problems

[LB]

What I want to do is compare an ini value to a specific value, while maintaining multiple values in one ini.

1. On the condition chart, the ini object is nowhere to be found.

I decided to make a formatted text object outside of the playfield which will always be set to a specific value in the ini, then compare the FTO to some value of somthing. This leads to

2. When I try to use the following code:

GroupItemValue( "Ini", regester, regestered)

It gives me the error "Syntax Error".
If you need the .mfa , just let me know.

Please help, thanks, LB.

Use the compare two general values condition of the Special object to compare GroupItemValue( "Ini", "register", "registered") against your value.

Thanks!

No wait, it still doesn't work...

[Horn]

sould it not maybe be GroupItemString$

[Joshtek]

GroupItemString$ if you wanna compare strings. GroupItemValue if you wanna compare values (numbers).

[LB]

Neither work... still get same error...

Are you forgetting the quotation marks for registration/registered? We need more info.

Dang... How could I have forgotton to try the quotation marks... it never said anything about that... That fixes everything! Thanks!

Quotation marks go around anything you want to be interpreted literally - parameters without quotes around them are for terms that you're wanting MMF2 to replace as appropriate. I'm sure I had a better way of explaining this before, but that's the best I can come up with after no sleep...
