How do use use built-in script arguments ?

[TheEvilGrin]

Hi,

I recently tried to use the "Line_SetBlocking" function in one of my scripts. Some of its arguments are "already defined" according to the ZDoom wiki. The thing is, when I type "BlockPlayer_F" at the right place, it turns red instead of blue/green, and I get an error message when I try to test the map, telling me that the argument is not valid or something along those lines. It also occured when I tried to use a pre-defined colour in a message script.

Where does that come from ? Do I have to define it at the beginning or anything like that ? Is it just DBX having bugs ?

Thanks for your answers !

Did you include zcommon.acs? If yes, we will need to see your code. Paste the entire script, including any code outside of scripts.

Yes I did. Here's the code

#include "zcommon.acs"

 

int bluekey = 0

script 1 (void)
{

bluekey = 1 ;
}

script 2 (void)
{
if(bluekey==1)
        {
        Line_SetBlocking(49,0,BlockF_Players);
        }
        else
        {
        print(s:"you need the blue skull");
        }

}

The only real problem I see is a missing semicolon after "int bluekey = 0"

 

Other than that, I would try removing the space between "1 ;" although it shouldn't matter, and put BlockF_Players in all caps.

I fixed it. I gave the line 49 as a line id with an action and not with a tag..... and everything works fine now. The thing is, I had to do something else with my map, but I guess I'll reuse that later.

Thanks nonetheless !
