Hi, i am trying to make script in gm:html5 which check if file exist online or not.
Does anybody know what is wrong with this script.

if file_exists(http_get(www.google.com/robots.txt))
room_goto(NextRoom)
else
show_message("No file found.");

I get this error:

COMPILATION ERROR in code action
Error in code at line 1:
if file_exists(http_get(www.google.com/robots.txt))
at position 16: Unknown function or script: http_get

FILE function get structuring follow: name_function(argument).argument is a varible or a constant,its not a function
your code : http_get(www.google.com/robots.txt) <<<its function
you do: file_exits('a') or file_exists(;b="name_file"
and you have really been known the basic GML: the function of (http_get(www.google.com/robots.txt)) is getting on server.The function of (file_exists) is getting on client

The proper way to do this would be in the event you want to check if the file exists just use:

http_get(www.google.com/robots.txt);

This will return some information stored in a ds_map. The you must process the return in the Asynchronous event, so add an Asynchronous HTTP event and put in this:

data = ds_map_find_value(async_load,"http_result"); //Get the returned result and store it as a variable.

if data == 200 //The file was found
{
    room_goto(NextRoom); // go to next room
}
else 
{
//Do whatever you want if the file is not there.
}

200 is simply the HTTP status of a file that exists. If it did not exists it would be 404. HERE is all the status codes you can check for.

Thanks for help! I am real noob so i still have some problem with making it work. i always go to room3. Do you know what i did wrong?

[Destron]

Either Room 3 is named NextRoom, or you don't have a room named NextRoom and instead of crashing going to room 3 is a result.

If you literally wanted to go to the next room then you should be using room_goto_next() instead of room_goto(NextRoom);

Also, one thing to watch for is that the Asynchronous event will not wait for a return to continue so if the server is being really slow it may not be getting thee request fast enough. So if you think that may be an issues, you may want to check if 'data' has a value other than 0 before proceeding.

I have tried room_goto_next() and it get same problem. I also tried use timelines, so there will be time to load robot.txt file but it does not helped.But when i try to run game in windows (not in browser) i get this error:



So is there something wrong with this http_get function?

basic of GML please
if you use ds_map function.first make a=ds_map_create();ds_map_write_string(string,a).....
your code dont need use ds_map
try this:
a=0
a=http_get(www.google.com/robots.txt);
event step:
if a!=0 room_goto(your room)
