If you need starting point to c-script syntax in order to program these things yourself, I highly recommend the gamestudio manual and George Pirvu's C-Script Workshops on the download page. Also the Acknex User Magazine may come in hand, there are already 58 available for you to dive in!

Anyways like Frank_G said in another topic: update your gamestudio version. The one your using atm is full of bugs and will lead to problems along the road.

It's uptodate just didin't change my thing to say it is yet, lol I'm a bit lazy.

if you update to 6.50.2 you will see this code no longer runs... JCL posted a fix in beta:
(works for me now, added my_ to those key_cul and curs...
then added vars and the code below...)

quote:
fraid not - it's a hardwired feature of the C-Script compiler and I'm not allowed to touch this part of the code. I even do not know why you haven't seen those errors indicated before, as this error message is in place since A4.

But it should be easy to fix your script in 5 minutes:

1. search-and-replace all "key_" in your code by "my_key_".

2. Define a var "my_key_a", "my_key_b" etc. for all keys you are using.

3. Start the following piece of code from your main function:

while(1) {
my_key_a = key_a;
my_key_b = key_b;
...
wait(1);
}

Then you can still use all your key code and it's even legal.

There is no need to change all of the keys in this script
It is legal to "compare" a value to "read only" keys as long as you do not try to write to the "read only" keys.
Only six keys need a new replacement.

var my_key_cuu = key_cuu;
var my_key_cud = key_cud;
var my_key_cul = key_cul;
var my_key_cur = key_cur;
var my_key_ctrl =key_ctrl;

var mouse_movement_direction[3];

FUNCTION handle_movement() {
IF (mouse_right == 1) {
IF (mouse_force.x > 0 || mouse_movement_direction.x == 1) { mouse_movement_direction.x = 1; my_key_cur = 1; }
IF (mouse_force.x < 0 || mouse_movement_direction.x == -1) { mouse_movement_direction.x = -1; my_key_cul = 1; }
}
IF (mouse_left == 1) { my_key_ctrl = 1; }
IF (mouse_force.y > 0) { my_key_cuu = 1; }
IF (mouse_force.y < 0) { my_key_cud = 1; }
IF (key_w == 1) { my_key_cuu = 1; }
IF (key_s == 1) { my_key_cud = 1; }
IF (key_a == 1) { my_key_cul = 1; }
IF (key_d == 1) { my_key_cur = 1; }
....
....
....


that's all.
Allways trust the compiler
