So, having learned (to a small degree) C++, I wanted to script something more out of the box, trying to carry over what I've learned. I created a rather large piece of code, but I'm having a problem, which I've singled down to one (well, two I guess) line, one that defines a function. It's highlighted in red. Without these lines, the code runs fine, being a default.

    REP = 1;

    CIS = 2;

    --  These variables do not change

    ATT = REP;

    DEF = CIS;

function ScriptPostLoad()	   

    --This defines the CPs.  These need to happen first

    cp1 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp1"}

    cp2 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp2"}

    cp3 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp3"}

    cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp4"}

    --This sets up the actual objective.  This needs to happen after cp's are defined

    conquest = ObjectiveConquest:New{teamATT = ATT, teamDEF = DEF, 

                                     textATT = "game.modes.con",

I defined three other functions without getting this mungelog problem that says it expects an <eof> at line 51 near 'end'. What is this? I've googled all over and not found a definitive answer, and the search here won't except eof as a query. Any help?

Thanks in advance guys.

Should "Function" be non-capitalized?

Posted: **Sat Jun 12, 2010 5:05 pm**

What is your precedent for defining a function by an equation?

Posted: **Sat Jun 12, 2010 11:15 pm**

Well, I got some weird error the other way, and when I did it that way it got rid of the error.

lua.org wrote:The statement
function f () body end

translates to
f = function () body end

Posted: **Sat Jun 12, 2010 11:36 pm**

That's interesting; I didn't know the two were the same. When I write functions I usually do it the other way around (the way you say gives you a "weird error"):

Code: Select all

function DecideUnits(bail, kota, oldben, marekimp, marekall, shaakti, shadow, yoda, sidious, vader, maris)
body
end

Since that does work the above way, maybe you should figure out what your two errors have in common and work from there.

Posted: **Sun Jun 13, 2010 10:43 am**

Yeah, I originally defined all of them that way(and when I say all I meant the other 3 functions that I've made, I only had those two lines there because I was going around removing stuff to find the problem. Well, I'll switch back and see what I get.

....Yup, gettin' that "weird error" I was talking about. I couldn't remember what it was before, but I sure do now: At line 46 an "=" is expected near RenderSection. (Changing the name of the function does nothing, by the way.) It's coming back to me now; I figured it would be the same thing, and if the computer wanted an equals sign, it would have it.

A very short while later EDIT: I tried removing the inputs to make function RenderSection() body end, with no change. Note that I'm on a trip, so my desktop (which I use for modding) I have, but it has no internet(or, for a while, power), and to write the script, I wrote it on a laptop. I transferred it over and was testing bits and pieces of things when, by accident, I deleted the end of scriptpostload about the time I got this error. I typed it back up, but I guess it's something to note.
