Why can't I use this switchmove ?
« on: 30 Sep 2004, 22:37:31 »
Hey

This is really really annoying, I've done this before but can't work out whats wrong (I'm not a very good scripter ;) )

This is my script:

Code: [Select]
Unit1_2 Switchmove "FXStandhip"
~0

Unit1_3 Switchmove "FXToKneel"
~0

Unit1_4 Switchmove "FXToKneel"
~0

Unit1_5 Switchmove "FXToKneel"
~0

Exit
But it says INVALID NUMBER IN EXPRESSION (At the end if that helps.)

Thxs for any help

The error message will tell you which line of code is wrong, and also where in the line the error occured.   The # marks it.   Can you give us the whole error message?

Double check that you have the correct unit names and the spellings of the animations.

~0 doesn't do anything, take them out.

Have you double checked that both quotes are double quotes on that line?

If I type the script you have posted and run it, it works with no error.  However, if I change a quote from a double " to a single ', I then get the exact error at the exact place you are getting.

What does that mean? Anyway, look at the first line in your code, and you'll see the quotation mark is at a funny slant compared to all the others. That kinda makes me think it isn't a quotation mark, like Kammak suggested.

Oh yeah, and why do you have zero second delays between each move? Or is that just for testing purposes?
