[Canderis]

i am trying to compile this script

TakeGoldFromCreature(n100, GetFirstPC());

but it keeps saying 'syntax error' what am i doing wrong?

Change...

TakeGoldFromCreature(n100, GetFirstPC());

 

To...

TakeGoldFromCreature(100, GetFirstPC());

You shouldn't need the 'n'.

the letter prefixes are for when you feel the need to be, as linus torvalds said "brain damaged" and use hungarian notation for your variable names. a number like 100 is a literal though, so you can't prefix it like that.

Its still not compiling right.

i get told that syntax error at 'TakeGoldFromCreature'

Its still not compiling right.

i get told that syntax error at 'TakeGoldFromCreature'

 

Are you adding void main? The full thing should be

 

void main() {
 TakeGoldFromCreature(100, GetFirstPC());
}
