Assigning value to a KAREL variable in TP program

    Hello,

    I am wondering if this is possible and I'm just doing something wrong, or if I'm trying to achieve the unachievable :smiling_face:

    I couldn't find an exact example on this in the manual, but I want to assign a value to a KAREL variable in my TP program, fx:

    Code
    $[PROGRAM]VAR=R[10001] ;

    However, when I try to run it, I get "Parameter not found" error. I'm puzzled by this, since both $[PROGRAM]VAR and R[10001] have been used earlier in the program. I've also used the current value of the $[PROGRAM]VAR to assign it to a different register, and that works fine:

    Code
    R[10002]=$[PROGRAM]VAR ;

    Can this be done and something is missing in the syntax?

    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks for the reply!

    Have you checked when trying to assign from a (non-local) register or from a constant value?

    I have not tried with either, since my goal is to use the value stored in local registers and avoid writing to actual registers :frowning_face: Perhaps there is a limitation to this operation that prevents it from working when using local registers?

    The workaround I ended up doing was create a KAREL program that would be called from the TP program with two arguments - an integer which is used to distinguish which KAREL variable to change and a value to be applied. Since there were a couple of KAREL variables I wanted to apply this operation to, I use the first argument in an IF statement to determine which one is to be changed.

    At least for now it seems like moving this operation to a KAREL program and calling it from the TP program is the only way to achieve this.
