I have a couple of questions about scripting:

The first and foremost is that when I go into sapien and compile scripts, I keep getting an unmatched left parenthasee error. Here is a one of my scripts that keeps giving me that error:

(global long roundnumber 0)

(script static next_round
(set roundnumber (+ roundnumber 1))
(sleep 500)
)

It's no where near complete yet so that's why it doesn't make much sense, but I absolutely cannot figure out why it's giving me this error.


The second is that i can't figure out how to call a script when a button is pushed.
If someone could post a link to a tutorial or something that would be great because I can't seem to find any.

thx

You made the script static, but you don't have a script type. You probably meant "static void".

As gammer927 said you have to make it a static void script

Now as for calling other scripts here is a examlpe

(global long roundnumber 0)

(script static void next_round
(set roundnumber (+ roundnumber 1))
(sleep 500)
)

(script startup call-next-number
(next_round)
)


for it to complie you have to have the script that it is calling befor the script that calls it.
Hope that was clear.

ok i miss read what you wanted to know so here is what you wont.

(script static void say_something
	(begin
		(sv_say "somthing")
	)
)
	
(script continuous action
	(begin
		(sleep_until (= (player_action_test_accept) 1))			
		(player_action_test_reset)
		(sv_say "call say_somthing")
		(say_something)
	)
)
