script error

(BaronBlabla) #1

I think alot of people have this problem, when I make an objective and script it and try to play it, it says something like error line 10 } exspected…

(kamikazee) #2

Common answer for a common question: check where a “}” is missing.

(cookie_box) #3

i got the same problem, its just that, i have checked a million times now, and there is no “{” missing… :? what could be wrong??

(mazdaplz) #4

i had that problem before, i had set up a new script wrong.

instead of writing trigger something inside a routine, i just named it something else. EITHER way man, i suggest you try putting an extra { anyway, i mean give it what it asks and i bet a new error message will appear leading to ultimately the answer you seek

(Roeltje) #5

it could also be that you had something like:

{
wm_announce "blabla
}

as you see the { and the } are ok, but you forgot the " at the end of the announce.
ET does not like that :wink:

(Flippy) #6

Can you post your script?
There can be a number of possibilities here…

for example, having:

goldbar1
{
blabla
}

when your entity is actually called “goldbar_1”
for some reason ET doesn’t recognize this and thinks you have an { too many…

I think your problem is the space where I put the arrow. Try making it show up on one line, like so:


	//wm_objective_status <objective> <team (0=Axis, 1=Allies)> <status (0=neutral 1=complete 2=failed)>
	wm_objective_status 1 1 0
	wm_objective_status 1 0 0
(Flippy) #11

I think so too…

ET handles every line as a individual line so even if there wasn’t enouhg room for that line of comment and it automatically switched to the next line, ET doesn’t know this and you still need to put // infront of the second line too

(cookie_box) #12

i got it workin, i found out that it needed room between

      wait 200 
      constructible_class 3

Thx for the help :smiley:

(Flippy) #13

What do you mean… ‘it neede room’?
If you mean adding a blank line between the two lines, this will not change your script at all lol. blank lines, spaces or tabs are ignored (as long as they are not in the middle of a word)

(murka) #14

he fixed it but the last thing he did was the room between those things and he thinks that it was the problem, irw

(OogieBoogie) #15

i got the same error
heres my script, the command post is a prefab

i bet i have put a { or } that its not necessary or something else

(murka) #16

first try making tabs and spaces between so you can understand where the script ends and start is if ur lookin thru. manyyyyyyyyyyy problems here.


      // Objectives
      // 1 Primary Objective: Allies must destroy the Supply Crates
      // obj nbr, team, status (0=none, 1=passed, 2=failed)
      wm_objective_status 1 0 0
      wm_objective_status 1 1 0

      setautospawn "Church" 0
      setautospawn "Church" 1
   }

// ================================================

this is the end of ur game_manager but ur missing a } at the end


neutral_cp_toi
{
   trigger show_neutral_cabinet         // Show Neutral Closed CP
   {
      setstate neutral_cp_closed default
      setstate neutral_cp_closed_model default
   }

   trigger hide_neutral_cabinet         // Hide Neutral Closed CP
   {
      setstate neutral_cp_closed invisible
      setstate neutral_cp_closed_model invisible
   }

again missing a } at the end


st_louet
{
   spawn
    {
        wait 300

        constructible_class 3 // 2=satchel 3=dyna
    }
   death
    {
   trigger st_louet_toi remove
   wm_objective_status 1 0 2
   wm_objective_status 1 1 1

        wm_announce "The Allies have destroyed the Supply Crates!"

        trigger game_manager allies_win
    }
st_louet_toi
{
    trigger remove
    {
        remove
    }
   trigger allies_win
{
      wm_announce "The Allies blew up the Supply Crates~!"

      wm_setwinner 1

      wait 5000

      wm_endround

   }
}

aaaaah. put SPACES plz. st_louet_toi is a new piece of script, and its stuck to the end of the last. before it theres a } missing at the end AGAIN

the syntax is


blabla(scriptname)
{
    spawn(or an other event)
    {
        blabla(the things to happen)
    }
}

and try to keep everythink like this, spaces only a visual but can help if you have mistakes, not hard to understand where it ends eh?
