Haxe Forum > Optional parameters help

  Hi, I'm porting some AS3 code to Haxe and am stuck trying to get this code to compile:

  //in the _log class
  public function formatOutcomeNode(charID:String, team:String, ?hpDelta:Int, ?apDelta:Int, ?xpDelta:Int, ?status:String, ?loot:String):Xml
  
  //elsewhere...
  _log.formatOutcomeNode(_character.id, _character.teamName, delta);    //error: Function 'formatOutcomeNode' requires arguments : charID, team, ?hpDelta, ?apDelta, ?xpDelta, ?status, ?loot

  This seems like it should work according to this documentation: http://haxe.org/ref/optional_args

  What am I doing wrong?

  Aha, figured it out right after posting. I was passing 'delta' as a Float instead of an Int. I've been spoiled by AS3 coercing Numbers and ints fluidly on my behalf.
