Properties not working with multiple choice Option Set

[James Goode]

Hi,

I have a zone stamp in AC21 that requests properties to display in floor plan.
All works perfectly fine until you select a multiple choice option set and then untick all options.

The Graphisoft Zone Stamp seems to not have this issue but I can’t seem to fix it.

Here is the script for this:

==============================================================================
! Get the value(s) of the stored property
! ==============================================================================
!======================== 1
_valueString = ""
dim _propertyValues[][]
_dim1 = 0
_dim2 = 0
n = REQUEST ("Property_Value_Of_Parent", myProperty, _type, _dim1, _dim2, _propertyValues)

if n then
	! change zeros to ones - it is easier to handle all possible arrays in a double loop
	if _dim1  = 0 then _dim1 = 1	
	if _dim2  = 0 then _dim2 = 1

	for i = 1 to _dim1
		for j = 1 to _dim2
			if (i + j) > 2 then _valueString = _valueString + "; "

			if _type = 4 then		! Type is string - no conversion needed
				_stringPropValue = _propertyValues[j][i]
			else	! bool, real, integer types - conversion needed to string
				_valueToConvert = _propertyValues[j][i]
				gosub "convertToString"
			endif
			_valueString = _valueString + _stringPropValue
		next j
	next i
endif

END

! ==============================================================================
!====================================== 1
"convertToString":
	_stringPropValue = ""

	if _type = 3 then		! Real number to string
		_stringPropValue = str ("%.2", _valueToConvert)
	endif

	if _type = 2 then		! Integer to string
		_stringPropValue = str ("%.0", _valueToConvert)
	endif

	if _type = 1 then		! Boolean to string
		if _valueToConvert = 1 then
			_stringPropValue = <code>True</code>
		else
			_stringPropValue = <code>False</code>
		endif
	endif
return

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I’m stuck with the same problem….has anyone found the answer?

What is not working exactly?

Look at the complete example here.

Hi Péter, I’m using the exact Code you linked…I’m using it for a ZoneStamp.
When I have multiple Options in the parameters I can check several of these. With the linked example only one of the checked boxes is shown…

Lukas I can’t reproduce that in AC23.
James’ problem is still there, the cause is in the example:
REQUEST “Property_Value_Of_Parent” returns an empty array when no options are selected for the option set, overwriting _dim1 causes “Index value greater than array dimension”. This should be an error message but is only shown with “Check Library Parts for Warnings” selected.

So there is no solution at the moment?
