When i try to create my entity "ent_create("fighter.mdl",temp,red_player)"
i get a crash in the function that called "ent_create" but the error is about the first line in "red_player" which is wait(1);


thanks

Do you have forgotten one Semicolon ( ; ) ??

cYa Sebastian

nope unfortunately not. That was just a typo in my.post (no syntax check here)

Which Version do you use?
Show ure Script please

cYa Sebastian

my full game script is over 4000 lines long so i'm only showing you the important stuff. also a lot of code in function main is just repeating so don't
be to scared of it


Code:

//	my.damage = damage_par;
//	my.missles = missle_par;
//	my.stealth = stealth_par;
//	my.bombs = bombs_par;
	my.fuel = 2000;//just setting up basic stats for this ship
	my.view_mode = 1;
	my.color = 1;

You're trying to pass a variable to an action, or else you try to assign a function to an entity. Entities can only have actions assigned and therefore it is not allowed to pass parameters. Remove the brackets and the arguments in the ent_create function call. E.g.
Code:

---

ent_create("bomber.mdl",vector(random(20000)-10000,random(20000)-10000,random(20000)-10000),blue_player);

and the other occurences respectively.

Thank you sooooooo much it works great now!!!!!!!!

Bryce

You're welcome... ^^
