Hello, I'm trying to play various tones determined by the sensors, and I'm getting an error when I try to use a variable with PlayTone.
Does anyone have any advice? Thanks

Hmm this is strange, it looks like it is a bug. Please post this in the bug tracking section

Also another piece of advice, I would not use Frequency as a variable because RobotC sees it as a keyword and not a variable, and it puts it in blue text.

Thanks for the notice B-)

It's OK to use it as a variable. 'frequency' is used as a parameter in one of the built-in intrinsic functions so that is why it is put in blue color.

But in this case frequency is defined as a local variable. This works fine.

The problem is that the syntax "colorizer" does not have full knowledge of all the scope rules for variables and makes intelligent guesses on keyword/variable colorizing. In this case it "guessed" wrong. I've done a minor tweak to improve this.

This is a bug that has been fixed in a pre-release version that is not publicly available. It had to do with compatibility with the legacy RCX which originally did not have an opcode to except run-time frequencies.

If you send me an email to dickswan@sbcglobal.net I will provide you with a link to site where you can download this pre-release. Or you can wait a few days and it will be available on robotc.net.
