get-age not working in 2.7b?
Hey all,
I'm trying to write a simple simulation that requires individuals to die after a certain amount of seconds. Individuals are Mobiles, and LIFESPAN is a constant. My code is as follows:
if (self get-age) > LIFESPAN: free self.
print (self get-age).
The output is always zero. Is this a beta issue or am I just being dense =P.
Boom
2.6
Turns out 2.6 CLI version has the same issues. I can't get-time or get-age. Those both spew 0's.
seems to work for me...
If I add "print (self get-age)." in any of the demo simulations, it prints out a number that grows as the simulation runs.
Are you sure that time is stepping forward in your simulation? A missing call to "super iterate" in your controller could cause time to not step forward properly. Since "get-time" isn't working for you either, I would actually guess that this is the problem.

super iterate
Yep, forgot the super iterate. Sorry about that. Thanks for the help.
