Shall we play a game?

Hi there. So, I am making a little mod where i have 3 dropships in there, and i can pick AI up when i drive one of the dropships. Then, when i press the flashlight button, all the passengers exit except for me. I have been using this script.....

Quote:
(script continuous empty
(begin
(if
(and
(= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0))) true)
(vehicle_test_seat redcdropship1 "" (unit (list_get (players) 0)))
(begin
(vehicle_unload redcdropship1 "")
(unit_enter_vehicle
(unit (list_get (players) 0)) redcdropship1 "")
(unit_set_desired_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0)) false)))))


(script continuous empty
(begin
(if
(and
(= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0))) true)
(vehicle_test_seat redcdropship2 "" (unit (list_get (players) 0)))
(begin
(vehicle_unload redcdropship2 "")
(unit_enter_vehicle
(unit (list_get (players) 0)) redcdropship2 "")
(unit_set_desired_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0)) false)))))


(script continuous empty
(begin
(if
(and
(= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0))) true)
(vehicle_test_seat redpeli1 "" (unit (list_get (players) 0)))
(begin
(vehicle_unload redpeli1 "")
(unit_enter_vehicle
(unit (list_get (players) 0)) redpeli1 "")
(unit_set_desired_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0)) false )))))


if it looks familiar, then yes, it is actually Gamma927's script copied-n-pasted 3 times.
but when i try compiling the script in sapien, i get this error.

^What he said. But that's not your problem. You have an umatched bracket in one of your scripts, look through them and make sure every one is matched in a proper manne. I would do that, but I'm busy at the moment....

bolded line requires another ")"

um, ok. So, i added another ")" at the end of each paragraph of the script, so now the script looks like this:

Quote:
(script continuous empty
(begin
(if
(and
(= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0))) true)
(vehicle_test_seat redcdropship1 "" (unit (list_get (players) 0)))
(begin
(vehicle_unload redcdropship1 "")
(unit_enter_vehicle
(unit (list_get (players) 0)) redcdropship1 "")
(unit_set_desired_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0)) false))))))


(script continuous empty
(begin
(if
(and
(= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0))) true)
(vehicle_test_seat redcdropship2 "" (unit (list_get (players) 0)))
(begin
(vehicle_unload redcdropship2 "")
(unit_enter_vehicle
(unit (list_get (players) 0)) redcdropship2 "")
(unit_set_desired_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0)) false))))))


(script continuous empty
(begin
(if
(and
(= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0))) true)
(vehicle_test_seat redpeli1 "" (unit (list_get (players) 0)))
(begin
(vehicle_unload redpeli1 "")
(unit_enter_vehicle
(unit (list_get (players) 0)) redpeli1 "")
(unit_set_desired_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0)) false ))))))


however, i now get this error message instead:

Quote:
07.18.09 23:57:59 [empty_script line 3] i expected (if []).: (if
07.18.09 23:57:59 recompiling scripts after scenarios were merged.
07.18.09 23:57:59 this left parenthesis is unmatched.: (if


what do i do now? i m stuck....

That looks like the script I posted earlier. Curse your formatting. Anyway, I fixed the last one for you. The rest should look similar to this:

(script continuous empty
	(if
		(and
			(= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0))) true)
			(vehicle_test_seat redpeli1 "" (unit (list_get (players) 0)))
		)
		(begin
			(vehicle_unload redpeli1 "")
			(unit_enter_vehicle (unit (list_get (players) 0)) redpeli1 "")
			(unit_set_desired_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0)) false )
		)
	)
)

PS: yes i know, the formatting is (rather) screwed up, but i do not know how to fix that, so i hope you guys can bear with it.....

yeah, i had the same problem. i really don't know what is up.

this is LATE for a reply, but did you try adding a zone for this event\trigger to happen? i think they're called trigger-zones or something like that. i haven't been modding for a while and got back into it before i go to A&M. but hopefully that would solve your problem :)
