Completely new to scripting, stumped. - Shambles - 06-29-2012
Before you say ANYTHING, please understand that I am from Germany, and my english is not as good. I am trying to make a custom story for my partner, I keep getting "fatal error unexpected end of script" or something. I have hardly anything on the script now.
I have tried following tutorial on wiki and youtube, am I placing wrong or something?? Very simple script so far, want to test out effects!
Someone tell me what I am doing wrong, please? :c I want to make this work.
void OnStart()
{
if(ScriptDebugOn())
{
void FadeImageTrailTo(5.4f 2.1f);
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()
{
}
Once more, not so great at english, and really really new to scripting.

Anything on BOLD means its the problem
void OnStart()
{
if(ScriptDebugOn())
}
void FadeImageTrailTo(5.4f 2.1f)
{
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()
{
}

Ithink I see...Uneeded extra brackets??
also now I am trying this- Everything worked until I added the trail function
It keeps telling me "unexpected ' "
{
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "push", "Push", true, 1);
}
void Push(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
PlaySoundAtEntity("", "guardian_distant.snt", "push", 0, false);
AddPlayerBodyForce(30000, 0, 0, false);
void FadeImageTrailTo(5.4f 2.1f);
void FadeIn(10);
}

Yes, I think that's the problem. I think it indeed should be this.
void OnStart()
{
if(ScriptDebugOn())
{
void FadeImageTrailTo(5.4f 2.1f)
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when entering map
void OnEnter()
{
}
////////////////////////////
// Run when leaving map
void OnLeave()
{
}
I am not sure about this, seeing I've never used ScriptDebugOn nor FadeImageTrailTo.
Viel Glück und Spaß!

You need to do research on how to define and call a function. C++ material should be enough for that.
RE: Completely new to scripting, stumped. - Shambles - 06-29-2012
I get the basic idea, I just have trouble knowing if brackets should be on something or not
If they need to be indented(?) if spacing is important
Adding functions isn't a big problem.
RE: Completely new to scripting, stumped. - Cruzore - 06-29-2012
spaces between anything doesn't matter. Functions and statements like if and for need brackets to determine what they should run.

Alright!
Thanks to everyone for answering!
