[901] Cast from float to bool error that shouldn't be there

This code:

if(Game->LItems[level]&LI_COMPASS != 0){
//etc

Causes the compiler to flag up a 'cast from float to bool' error.
Not a warning, an error. Script does not compile.

However, this code:

int a = Game->LItems[level]&LI_COMPASS;
if(a != 0){

Does not.

The first one shouldn't either.

What you see:

if( (Game->LItems[level] & LI_COMPASS) != 0) {
//etc

What the compiler sees:

if( Game->LItems[level] & (LI_COMPASS != 0)) {
//etc

I think the AND operator should have a higher priority than comparison, but it clearly does not.

Oh right.
Well it used to work the other way, so obviously something's changed.

OK, nevermind this one.
Not a bug.

EDIT:
But I can't seem to find the 'change thread icon' whatsit.

Thread tools at the top of this thread. Then goto edit thread.

Aha, thanks.
Perhaps not the most obvious place?

'spose I didn't look too hard.
