Getting a 'bad syntax error' when trying out the tut.

it points to:

for(lp=0;lp
entTransporter[lp] thread Transporter();

as the error.

I copied the .gsc right from the tut so not sure whats going on.

Could you post the full code

here is the code from the tut:

main()
{

entTransporter = getentarray("enter","targetname");
if(isdefined(entTransporter))
{
for(lp=0;lp
entTransporter[lp] thread Transporter();
}


}
Transporter()
{
while(true)
{
self waittill("trigger",other);
entTarget = getent(self.target, "targetname");

wait(0.10);
other setorigin(entTarget.origin);
other setplayerangles(entTarget.angles);
//iprintlnbold ("You have been teleported !!!");
wait(0.10);
}
}

here is the code that worked for me:



For what ever reason it isn't posting the correct code, even on here. its right when I'm replying but not when the actuall post comes up. found the code that worked for me here.

Yeah, these forums are wierd... I believe if you don't put a space in the "For" Loop... then it will delete a chunk of your code when you post it on here. I think thats the problem?

I don't have a problem as i always put spaces in my for loop anyway

For(i = 0; i < 20; i++)

Instead of being all bunched up:

For(i=0;i<20;i++)

I'm confused as to whether you have the code working or not. If not, try this:

main()
{
	entTransporter = getentarray("enter","targetname");
	if(isdefined(entTransporter))
	{
		for(lp = 0; lp < entTransporter.size; lp++)
			entTransporter[lp] thread Transporter();
	}
}


Transporter()
{
	while(true)
	{
		self waittill("trigger",other);
		entTarget = getent(self.target, "targetname");

		wait(0.10);
		other setorigin(entTarget.origin);
		other setplayerangles(entTarget.angles);
		//iprintlnbold ("You have been teleported !!!");
	}

}

Yep I got it to work.

I could be wrong but think maybe the tut on here is missing this line:

For(i = 0; i < 20; i++)

I, in no way shape or form, know anything about how to script. Lucky for me there are those that do. And that's appriecated!!!!

Oh lol... That was just an example i was using..
Ignore that. :P

That is a "For loop"
To help you understand...

for(i = 0; i < 20; i++) 

i = 0 says that i equals 0 ...
the middle part is WHILE.... soooo... while "i is less than 20" ..
and the last part, "i++" ... is what to do after every loop. ++ Increases the number .. " i " by 1 ...


So if you have this....

for(i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
	iprintlnbold( i + " seconds and counting up");
	wait 1;
}

the 'wait 1' will make the loop wait 1 second before looping again.

at first i is 0 .... then it will loop... and the i++ will increase i by 1 .... so then... i equals 1 ....then i equals 2.. and so on...

K.
And its stated " i < 20 "
Meaning... While its less than 20 .... so once i = 19... it will run.. then the loop will break automatically....

Confusing? Or do you kind of understand?

The tut had a bit missing - it suffered the same problem as the forum did.

I've updated it - just waiting for it to be approved.

approved.

INSANE{H|S} writes...Well huh. It thinks that less than sign is the start of some html code and cuts off the rest. That's the problem.
I'll have to look into a fix for that. Thanks
