dMZX Forums: COPY x y thisx thisy fails incorrectly -> Archived MegaZeux Bugs -> Tracker

This is a port regression in both the COPY x y x2 y2 command and (maybe?) the COPY dir dir command. When the source of the copy is the player, these commands are supposed to fail and continue to the next command regardless of the destination. Since 2.80X, if the source is the player and the destination is the current robot, these commands will not continue to the next command but will instead attempt the copy once every cycle until the source changes.

Test case: put the player at 0,0 and fill the board with robots with this program:

copy 0 0 thisx thisy
inc "test" 1
* &test&"

In DOS, the number of robots on the board will display in the message immediately. In all port versions, the robots will appear to do nothing until the player moves away from 0,0 and then disappear without executing any other commands.

A version check for compatibility might be needed (unlikely, though), so the fix should wait until 2.92.

Updating status to: Fixed
Issue fixed in: 2.92

Fixed in GIT aa48dcb4 in master-2.92. I didn't add a version check for this one, but the option to add one later is there.
