Syntax Error

[Bellamy]

I'm currently creating a script that includes a loop and some other stuff. When I ran the server, it said there was a syntax error: 'then' expected. The line it referred to was the 28th line. In this case it is the middle line that starts with 'if'.

Here's the part of my script it's talking about:

Code: [Select]

for i := 1 to 14 do begin
if i != OneWep then SetWeaponActive(0,i,false) else
SetWeaponActive(0,i,true);
Could anyone explain to me why it expected 'then' if there is already 'then' on that line?

[Hacktank]

It is probably the !=. Try <> instead.

[Bellamy]

It worked! Thanks.

Now it says there's a type mismatch on the second line.

Code: [Select]

begin
inc(OneWep,1);
if OneWep = 15 then OnWep := 1;
SetWeaponActive(OldWep,false);
Could you explain what that means?

[Hacktank]

Are oldwep and onewep a integers? Also u have

Code: [Select]

if OneWep = 15 then OnWep := 1should it be

Code: [Select]

if OneWep = 15 then OneWep := 1   //with the e in Onewep := 1

Good call. And yes, I made them variables (bytes/integers) earlier in the script.

I also need to know why it says 'type mismatch' for the 'inc' line.

[DorkeyDear]

Inc does not work with the type byte, afaik know integers but i havn't tested all n' all it works with and doesn't.

[Bellamy]

So you're saying I should use the integer type for the variable instead of byte, right?

Edit: I just tried using both integer and byte as the type and neither worked.
Edit2: Btw, I realized it might help a little if I gave you what the exact error was.
"[Error] (33:16): Type mismatch"

[DorkeyDear]

So you're saying I should use the integer type for the variable instead of byte, right?

actually I'm saying you should do myVar := myVar + 1; but it really doesn't matter that much

Just by looking at what you got there, I'm not sure whats wrong. Make sure your showing us the correct code (if multiple files, make sure you take that into account)

apart from feeding it an invalid number of arguments, your second argument is of invalid type :G

should be SetWeaponActive(0,OldWep,false); i guess


Edit: you might also have a typo: if OneWep = 15 then OneWep := 1; ?..

[Bellamy]

I fixed the typo. And the SetWeaponActive thing, that's a good call, I don't know why I didn't put in the ID parameter, but I'll fix it and see if it works.

EDIT: Wow, that little 0 that I was too lazy to insert in earlier made it work! (that line at least)
There are more errors I might need help with.
