Hey all, was wondering if someone could clarify how to locate an error. I know the file that is causing the error but cannot locate where the error is. All I get from the console is"Error: unknown function: @ 60660". Anyone know what location in my file its telling me to look at?

It's telling you there is an error in your script. Please post it. No one can help you if you don't tell them what your script looks like.

Here is the script code, its the _hardpoints.gsc. We are trying to add the Havock helicopter. I have it as an attachment since the code it too long.

Where did you get that script from?

I have this script in maps/mp/gametypes, but I narrowed the error to these line here.

else if ( hardpointType == "havock_mp" )
{
if( isDefined( level.chopper ) || level.havock_ingame )
{
self iprintlnBold( level.hardpointHints["helicopter_mp_not_available"] );
return false;
}

if ( level.teambased )
{
maps\mp\gametypes\_globallogic::leaderDialog( "helicopter_inbound", team );
maps\mp\gametypes\_globallogic::leaderDialog( "enemy_helicopter_inbound", otherTeam );

for ( i = 0; i < level.players.size; i++ )
{
player = level.players;
playerteam = player.pers["team"];
if ( isdefined( playerteam ) )
{
if ( playerteam == team )
player iprintln( &"HARDPOINTS_HELICOPTER_DEPLOYED", self );
}
}
}
else
{
self maps\mp\gametypes\_globallogic::leaderDialogOnPlayer( "helicopter_inbound" );
selfarray = [];
selfarray[0] = self;
maps\mp\gametypes\_globallogic::leaderDialog( "enemy_helicopter_inbound", undefined, undefined, selfarray );
}

random_path = randomint( level.heli_paths[0].size );
startnode = level.heli_paths[0][random_path];

self thread maps\mp\_havock::spawnhavock( self, startnode, self.pers["team"] );

}

Hey Tally! Guedoe is a member of my clan who has done modding in BF2. He is new to modding in CoD4. We are simply trying a few things out such as adding a Havoc Mi28 helicopter to re-reference the cobra/hind. We found some info on how to do it. Its just a little project were doing with our current mod.

Hello Max

Obviously, I recognised the code as my own, so at first I thought he might have decompiled my mod and got it that way. I would still have helped him, just that he should credit me for the stuff I did.

So, no problem if he is working with you.

You can still help if you want :), We r trying to have the havock for a carepackage and killstreak, but with just using the havock model and using all code from the cobra or hind. As Max stated, I am very new at this, lol

Np Tally I understand. He knows to credit you for w/e we do. Our mod is still currently not released for public use (raw files). I believe we will probably always keep it private with us, but if that would ever change I would definitely inform you first and place credit where credit is due for you, as well as anyone else who worked on the project.

The only thing I can see in there that might possibly be an unrecognised function is spawnHavock(). Make sure you have that function in your _havock.gsc file.

If it isn't that function, you are going to have to get the full readout of the error. To do that, enable logfile:

set logfile 1

Then, in your mod folder there will be a file called console_mp.log. Run your test server again, let the game produce the error again, then go get console_mp.log, open it with a text editor and then scroll down until you see "script compile error .." and read what file and function the error is pointing at.
