preprocessor command help

[retrotech]

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

?DEFINE compile_mode_testing TRUE

?IF compile_mode_testing = FALSE

player_lives = 3

?ELSE

player_lives = 99

?ENDIF


Please help.  My attempt at using preprocessor commands is giving me this precompiling error, "syntax error : ... true)=false".  What is the correct way to do this?

I think it should be

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

?DEFINE compile_mode_testing TRUE

?IF DEFINED(compile_mode_testing)

player_lives = 99

?ELSE

player_lives = 3

?ENDIF

But its not tested. Just check the helpfile.

You can also use ?IFDEF
