Default "The current method is not called by any events..." - 04-23-2015, 04:16 PM

In the current version of Alice 2.4 (as well as prior versions IIRC), when checking to see whether the current method is called by any events, it only checks world events, not events associated with specific objects. Thus, even if a method is called multiple times by an object's events, the world will still display the "The current method is not called by any events..." message. Not a terrible bug, but rather annoying...

You may want to post examples to justify your comment, as just because a method has been pre-built into an object doesn't mean that it has to be used.

Here's a super-quick example world I made. As you can see, the "world.my first method" runs fine when the world starts as it's supposed to, but on playing the world Alice displays the message since the method is under "ground" in the Events window.

I guess Alice just hasn't heard of that method since it's so under ground.

Don't see the problem.
Looks more like a programmer error rather than a Program Bug. "world.my first method" is the default main for a world, and it's simply telling you that a required reference was removed.
Clicking "Restart" over and over won't generate the error again because the play window is still open.

I'm gonna try explaining this again, since I don't think I was clear enough at first.

When you play an Alice world, if the method you're currently editing isn't called by any other methods or events, Alice gives a warning telling you that this method isn't going to be used at all in the world.

However, in the example world, Alice gives this warning when "world.my first method" is the currently opened method, even though there is an event which calls the method. That's not supposed to happen.

Again, it's not a very important bug at all. You can work around it just by making sure to close the methods before playing the world. However, having to close the method or click through the warning every time you play the world gets a little annoying.

That "method" might have to be deleted before the method you just made can be considered primary. No other methods should be opened. (if that's the case)

If that isn't the case, try using the primary method (world.myfirstmethod). Copy all of your event nodes to the primary method (said here above)

And if that's also not the case, I can't help you.
