Unable to declare negative numbers

[FlashFight]

float(-1.0), int(-1), etc. all return ERROR: float() takes only const arguments ERROR: int() takes only const arguments etc. I presume this is due to "-" being used for negation.

thanks for the report! yeah, that's annoying (has to be -float(1.0), not the best solution)

I'll fix that in the upcoming update among other stuff

Was this ever fixed? :) I just found out that doing something like this is not possible right now either :( float3(0.8, 0.4, -0.2)

PS. Great tool btw! Love it!

[igor-elovikov]

yeah, it's fixed in dev branch among other things (for example declaring consts are much easier).

f3: float3 = {1.0, 2.0, 3.0}
f2: float3 = 1.0 # implicitly become {1.0, 1.0, 1.0}
f: float = 1.0
v: float4 = {f, f, f, 1.0}

etc

also more sane loops and much better support for parameters it's just not very stable atm

I'm actually waiting for the new designer update where loops should be natively supported by function graphs and I add this to plugin. Then I merge new version to main

Oww that sounds amazing <3

Seeing theres some new syntax, will it also support x += y or do we still need to do x = x + y?

[igor-elovikov]

yep, "augmented assigns" ie += -= *= is supported in the new branch
