AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "thescript", "Collidethescript", true, 1);
AddEntityCollideCallback("firstgrunt", "secondnode", "Collidesecondnode", true, 1);
}
void Collidethescript(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetEntityactive("firstgrunt", true);
AddEnemyPatrolNode("firstgrunt, "firstnode", 1, "");
}
void Collidesecondscript(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)

i put the " , now it gave me another error , Main (8, 1):Err: no matching signature SetEntityactive(string@$,const bool)'
main (13,1):ERR: No matching signatures to SetENTITYactive(string@&,const bool)'

It should be 'SetEntityActive', rather than 'SetEntityactive'

Uppercase/lowercase characters matter in HPL scripting

Also for future reference, the first of the two numbers in brackets in the error message 'Main (8, 1):Err:
refers to the line in which is encountered the error. Line 8 in your script is where the incorrect function call is. That counts for most, but not the 'Unexpected End of File' error - because that one will always name the last line of your script (being the end of the file, of course)

I would suggest that you follow this guide. It helps you set up your text editor so that small errors like these become much easier to spot.

i have a new problem i would appreciate if you guys help ,

The error is : main (62,1)Unexpected token: if
Main (66,6)Unexpected token :Else
Main (70,2)Unexpected token :Else , here's my script please help me!

PHP Code:

if(asTimer == "1")
{
 SetPlayerActive(true);
    }
    else if(asTimer == "2")
{
 SetPlayerActive(false);
    }
    else if(asTimer == "3")
{
ChangeMap("Mohammadsmap.map", "flashingreturn", "", "");

I'm quite sure you don't have to put "" around your integers. Just remove those.


"" is only for string values. Strings are text like: "grunt_1"

that didnt fix and the article didnt help....

'asTimer' is the name of the timer you set using AddTimer. Unfortunately, that means you were right to have it as "1" before, since it is a string and not an integer (sorry ingedoom...)
In the future you may want to name your timer's something more specific

The problem is that your series of 'if..else' statements are outside of a function - they can't be used like that, they must be within a function

Here

Did you intend the if...else statements to be part of 'void Flashingkeh(string &in asTimer)' ?

Also,

Are those the timers that are being checked by the if...else statements? Because all of those timers call different functions, which removes the need to use if...else statements to check which timer is the current one


Perhaps you will find this article helpful instead.

Ohhh my bad you did correct with the " " and the names af the timers are 1 2 and 3.
The problem is something totally different.

You need to have the if statement within a function like


Another thing is that you use the if statement completely wrong. Just detete it and add new timers and functions like you allready did:


Eventually add the new timers withing the functions you made =) Delete the if statements. Read the article, it will help you understand how you can use the if statement
