Boolean??!! Syntax help? - Nuclearbones - 11-11-2012
I'm in a major predicament because I can't load this map. I'm not sure what's wrong with the script and I don't see anything wrong with it. I'm not sure what it is, maybe it's a syntax error or something, but all the way down to the red text...

The alstate message is what threw me off the most. But the Boolean message??!! I'm dealing with levers, I need integers not Boolean values!
I would appreciate it if somebody helped look through the script and see if there is anything that would trigger these messages to appear. Thanks.
RE: Boolean??!! - Obsidiaguy - 11-11-2012
Does letter case matter? Capital, lowercase?
"void CloseGate(string &in asConnectionName, string &in asMainEntity, string &in asConnectEntity, int alState)
{
if (alstate == 1)"
RE: Boolean??!! Syntax help? - Nuclearbones - 11-11-2012
Yes actually. Scripts are case sensitive. And I fixed that and it stopped giving me the messages but the function wont work. So then I fooled around with script areas. After that wouldn't work, I just decided I would leave the door open. :/
RE: Boolean??!! Syntax help? - palistov - 11-11-2012
Use some debug messages in your script. It will help you understand what is going on in your script and when. Using debug messages can help you pinpoint a lot of semantics errors. (script compiles but doesn't do what you intended)
For example, before you go into the if-else construct in your function CloseGate, add a debug message 'AddDebugMessage("Gate is at state: " + alState, false);' -- Do the same for a lot of your functions and see where the hiccup is.
Edit: misunderstood some of your script, editing out some of the misunderstandingsnessness
