Complete newbie, just started playing with this program a few days ago:

Code:
include, plotscr.hsd
include, cw.hsi

define script (1,castlegroundsbattle,none)
define script (2,castlegroundsentrance,none)

script,castlegroundsbattle,begin
variable(fight)
if(checktag(8)==off) then (show text box(2),set tag(8,on),setvariable(fight,random(0,2))
else (setvariable(fight,random(0,5))
if((fight>>2)&&(checktag(9)==off)) then (show text box(3))
fight formation(fight)
end

script,castlegroundsentrance,begin
if (checktag(5)==OFF) then (show text box(22),set tag(5,ON))
end


It's probably something really obvious but I've been over it again and again and I just can't see it.

The error when I try to compile is "Perhaps castlegroundsbattle has an extra begin"... I couldn't find one, though.

Mismatched parentheses. The line should read:

Quote:
if(checktag(8)==off) then (show text box(2),set tag(8,on),setvariable(fight,random(0,2)))
else (setvariable(fight,random(0,5)))


It'd be easier for you to work with if you made it look like this:

Code:
script,castlegroundsbattle,begin
variable(fight)
if(checktag(8)==off) then
(
  show text box(2)
  set tag(8,on)
  setvariable(fight,random(0,2))
)
else
(
  setvariable(fight,random(0,5))
)
if((fight>>2)&&(checktag(9)==off)) then (show text box(3))
fight formation(fight)
end

script,castlegroundsentrance,begin
if (checktag(5)==OFF) then
(
  show text box(22)
  set tag(5,ON)
)
end


Hope that helps!

Ach. And I thought I'd tried that too.

This serves me right for trying to be the big fancyman with iddy little bits of code all squashed together in there with all the things and the horror and terrible, terrible affliction never did fully regain the use of his left toe you know blaaaarrrrcgghhhe.

So, yes. Thank you, it's fine now.
