Expressions

Sanny Builder supports many common operations to be written without an explicit opcode. The compiler, in this context, analyzes both the left and right sides of the expression as well as the operator between them to determine the appropriate opcode to use.

Due to the nature of the language, there are different opcodes for different types of data involved in operations. For instance, adding integer values requires a distinct opcode compared to adding two floating-point values. In most cases, the compiler is able to figure out the opcode automatically, but sometimes an upfront declaration of variable types is needed to disambiguate the opcode.

The majority of supported operations in Sanny Builder involve just two operands: one on the left-hand side (LHS) and another on the right-hand side (RHS).

Assignment

  • LHS = RHS - an assignment operation. RHS is a numeric constant, variable, or string literal. In this context, LHS always refers to a variable.

  • LHS += RHS - an addition operation. LHS and RHS must be of the same type, either integer or float. The value of LHS gets incremented by the value of RHS.

  • LHS -= RHS - a subtraction operation

  • LHS *= RHS - a multiplication operation

  • LHS /= RHS - a division operation

The following operations require the CLEO extension ({$USE CLEO} or {$CLEO}).

  • LHS = value1 + value2 - add two integer values together and write the result in LHS

  • LHS = value1 - value2 - subtract one integer value from another and write the result in LHS

  • LHS = value1 * value2 - multiply two integer values and write the result in LHS

  • LHS = value1 / value2 - divide one integer value by another and write the result in LHS

Comparison

  • LHS == RHS - an "equal to" operation. Both sides must have the same value for the comparison to return true

  • LHS > RHS - a "greater than" operation

  • LHS >= RHS - a "greater than or equal to" operation

  • LHS < RHS - a "less than" operation

  • LHS <= RHS - a "less than or equal to" operation

  • LHS <> RHS - a "not equal" operation. Both sides must have different values for the comparison to return true

The language does not have a dedicated Boolean type. The result of each comparison only affects the current IF statement.

Bitwise

The game lacks native support for bitwise operations, making them accessible exclusively through the use of a CLEO plugin. The bitwise extension must be enabled to use the following operations ({$USE bitwise}).

Timed addition and subtraction

The game natively supports timed addition and subtraction, providing FPS-independent calculations in relevant contexts. Read an article on GTAMods.com for more information.

Cast assignment

Casting operations convert a value from one type to another. The game supports a conversion between Integer and Float types.

The use of the operator =# requires that types of both variables are known.
