Title: Script error but works fine in trigger
Post by: Lollypop on 21 May 2009, 18:45:35

Hello

I copied some code from a trigger that opens gates when someone gets into trigger area.
But its not working properly: it opens and closes the gate 1st time with an error message "Invalid number in expression" in line 8"

If i try again to open them it stays open..doesnt close again.

can anyone help pls?

i attached the sqf file.

~ doesn't work in SQF, use sleep instead.

im such a noob...the gates already have a built in open/close you just have to get near them  ::)

however for future use..the solution you gave me produced another error a missing ; in line 9  any ideas? :dunno:

Each command in SQF has to be determinated with an ;
So you need to add ; to the end of each command.
I can recommend to read the Basic SQF Tutorial (http://www.ofpec.com/ed_depot/index.php?action=details&id=390&game=ArmA)

The error is like on the line above the ~5  in sqf has to be replaced with sleep 5;
