Development Forum Failed to close block?    Malkin    Manager     12/12/2013 So what I'm trying to do with this script is randomly vend either a seed or a fruit (both with an expiry date) on a timed basis. The error I get is Script 12 4 10859 9 Failed to close block at token " ... tick 8750 endi endi @ ] So I'm thinking that the problem is either this script below, or the one just before it. Have I missed anything with this script? When does the 'failed to close block' error get triggered? scrp 2 4 10859 9 *Check I'm not being carried doif carr = null *lock script lock *set range rnge 100 *population check esee 2 3 10854 addv va00 1 next esee 2 8 10855 addv va00 1 next *if combined population is 5 or fewer doif va00 < 6 *instantly inst *get location setv va00 posl setv va01 post *choose random number setv va02 rand 1 2 *if random number is 1 doif va02 eq 1 *make a seed new: simp 2 3 10854 "peav" 1 2 1000 attr 195 bhvr 48 perm 100 elas 30 fric 50 accg 10 mvto va00 va01 velo rand -10 10 rand -15 -20 emit 7 .5 tick 8750 *if the random number is anything else else *instantly make a fruit inst new: simp 2 8 10855 "peav" 1 2 1000 attr 195 bhvr 48 perm 100 elas 30 fric 50 accg 10 mvto va00 va01 velo rand -10 10 rand -15 -20 emit 6 .5 tick 8750 *close random number doif endi *close population check doif endi *close being carried doif endi *end the script endm My TCR Norns   Moe     12/12/2013 I've never seen that error I don't think, but if I were to guess it means the script manager tried to end a block of code, whether a doif, loop, or a script, but was unable to for some reason. Try adding "TARG OWNR" after each "NEXT" when you finish an ESEE. The ESEE command will leave the target at the last "seen" agent. So anything after that like your "setv va00 posl" is actually getting coordinates from the last "seen" agent. This may be what is upsetting your code's flow and throwing the block error. Edit: Also try adding the UNLK command after those two endi's, to let the engine know it's safe to "release".   Peppery One Papriko   12/12/2013 "Failed to close block" usually means that your block beginnings (loop, reps, doif, enum and so on...) and your block endings (untl, repe, endi, next and all that) are unbalanced. But somehow I can't really spot anything which could trigger that kinda error. Seems to be all fine... Not related to your issure, just a little note: setv va02 rand 1 2 doif va02 eq 1 can be sustituted with the slightly shorter doif rand 1 2 eq 1 in a similar fashion as you do it in your velo commands. Nothing important or special, sadly nothing related to your error either, just so btw. Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis...

My TCR Norns   Moe     12/12/2013 Add one more "ENDI" to the timer script, right before the ENDM.   Malkin Manager     12/12/2013 That seems to crash my entire game! My TCR Norns   Moe     12/12/2013 That fixed it in my game. I'm afraid I've got nothing else for ya.   Malkin Manager     12/12/2013 Thanks. My TCR Norns   Prodigal Sock Ghosthande     12/13/2013 I can't see how adding an ENDI would crash your entire game. At worst it should just throw an error. Could it have been a coincidence?   Malkin Manager     12/13/2013 My theory is that the scripts are somehow not being removed properly, clashing, and causing the crash. As the Kutoka edition has a tendency to crash rather than do anything so civilised as 'throw errors', it's probably time for a reinstall. My TCR Norns
