Switch state not false or true

[FinestCreative (Finest)]

A trigger calls this function with parameters Agent and some int ID. Switch is a switch_device in an array of Switches.

But when I check the state it is not true and it is also not not true. It always prints the final ‘else’

For whatever reason, GetCurrentState has a void return type so it’s comparing void to true every time. It seems like a bug, I would report it.

GetCurrentState[] is a <decides> function which means that it either fails or succeeds - the tipoff is that it is called with square brackets []. The function documentation isn’t clear - it doesn’t return a logic (true/false), the call itself is all that is needed.

if (Switch.GetCurrentState[Agent]):
    Print("meow")
else:
    Print("meow!")

Alternatively:

Print(if (Switch.GetCurrentState[Agent]) {"meow"} else {"meow!"})

I didn’t see until now that this question was double posted.

Major - Switch device functions yielding the wrong types

In the case of GetCurrentState, the decides effect is used, rather than returning logic. To have your code work, you would need to update it to if (not Switch.GetCurrentState[Agent]): Print("meow") else if (Switch.GetCurrentState[Agent]): Print("meow") GetCurrentState will fail (rather than return false) or succeed (rather than return true). Related to use of tuple() with listenable: this is to indicate Await (a method of the superinterface awaitable) produces value () - note () is a…

So essentially the same answer.
