Constant Syntax Errors

[bluebuttongames]

Hi there,

I'm having a lot of issues with syntax errors being thrown, when the code is seemingly squeaky clean.

Here's an example (goes on for way longer than this):


In Editor:
["Quest_Sloth_KillRabbits"].MoralityChoice = 1;
SetQuestState("Quest_Sloth_KillRabbits", "active");
SetQuestEntryState("Quest_Sloth_KillRabbits", 1, "active")

Debug log:
Dialogue System: Lua code '["Quest_Sloth_KillRabbits"].MoralityChoice = 1;
SetQuestState("Quest_Sloth_KillRabbits", "active");
SetQuestEntryState("Quest_Sloth_KillRabbits", 1, "active")' threw exception 'Code has syntax errors:

Hi,

It's strange that it's complaining about the "E" of SetQuestEntryState("Quest_Sloth_KillRabbits", 1, "active"). Maybe there's a blank space character between SetQuest and Entry. However, I do see one issue that may have just been a copy-paste issue in your post. Please try this:

Code: Select all

Quest["Quest_Sloth_KillRabbits"].MoralityChoice = 1;
SetQuestState("Quest_Sloth_KillRabbits", "active");
SetQuestEntryState("Quest_Sloth_KillRabbits", 1, "active")

The first line was missing "Quest" at the beginning.

It was the space between , and "active". I wasn't aware that would be such an issue,

SetQuestState("Quest_Sloth_KillRabbits", "active");

[Tony Li]

Hmm, that shouldn't have been a problem. Maybe it was a strange space character and not the normal space character. Anyway, glad it's working now.

So new problem!

Here's how that looks in the editor:

Hi,

That means mugFight isn't currently registered as a Lua function.
