Good afternoon ModsOnline.

I'm trying to make a moving higgins boat for my MP map, and when i were trying to test it i came across a really disturbing problem.

This is the error message i'm getting, as taken from the console.

Menu load error: ui_mp/settings_hq.menu, line 79: Attempting to change type from 0 to 9.
Move the type definition higher up in the itemDef.

Menu load error: ui_mp/settings_hq.menu, line 80: Attempting to change type from 0 to 9.

And then, this is my main script.

And at last, this is my boat script

main() { thread boat (); }  boat () { hig = getent ("Higgins","targetname"); trig = getent ("higginstrigger","targetname"); while (1) { trig waittill ("trigger"); hig movex (300, 2, 0, 0.5); hig waittill ("movedone"); wait (4); hig movex (-300, 2, 0, 0.5); hig waittill ("movedone"); } }

I hope you guys could help a poor fella like myself out, thank you.

Have a think about what the error says:



Now, waittill is a built in function and "trigger" is a string, so the only undefined thing on that line is trig.

Now, from further up you have



This should get the entity and assign it to trig. However trig is still undefined. This means there is no element in your map with a 'targetname' of 'higginstrigger' so recheck your map contents.

You also have a space between getent and the ( which I'd get rid of.

Thanks alot! It's working now... almost.

I can enter the map now and everything's fine, until i press the trigger. I get a error message about line 12 in my boat script which is:

trig waittill ("trigger");

Do you know what's wrong?

Are you using a trigger_use? If not, you cant "press" the trigger - trigger_radius or trigger_multiple type triggers would have to detect you (the player) automatically as soon as you are in their range.

What exactly is the error? Is "trig" still undefined? Or is it something else now?

It's a script runtime error, it tells me to check my console but i don't know how to do that either.

Yes, it's a trigger_use.

In your server config file, enable console logging:

set logfile 1

Run your map again, and hit the error again.

Now, go to where your map is located in the game (either the 'main' folder, or the fs_game folder if you're using one) and look for a file named console_mp.log. Open it with something like WordPad and then press 'F' to bring up the search box. Type in "runtime" (without the speech marks) and press ENTER.

This will locate the error, and it will tell you exactly what the error is, and what line number it is at (if you intend to do a lot of modding, I would recommend you use a free programme like programmers notpad [google for it] and open your .GSC files with that as it has line numbers).
