Why doesn't my code work?

[Gianluco]

I've literally copied an actor's code and pasted on another actor, but it says that it expects a "{" instead of "ACTOR" and, when I try doing what it says, it says that "}" doesn't have any animation frames

@Gianluco Your answer is here already. If you don't understand, you need to change the MachineGun actor code to this:

ACTOR MachineGun : Chaingun replaces Chaingun
{
	Inventory.PickupMessage "You got the machine gun!"
	Obituary "%o was mowed down by %k's machine gun."
	Tag "Machinegun"
}

A "{" or opening bracket signifies a starting block of code. Each "{" should have a "}" or a closing bracket at the end to signify that block is closed. You had one opening bracket, then two closing brackets.

looks like it's missing a parenthesie in the previous script, so if the engine is trying to read it; then that's why it might crash on the next script: ArmoredCaco.

The problem is, that one part of the file worked, but now that I've added the ArmoredCaco it dies
