Expected '(' - X5KillerKlownzX - 04-15-2013

I need some help with scripting! im trying to make the end, but I get this error that says main(3,1) : ERR : Expected '('

My script is this:

void OnLeave

void ending(string &in asTimer)
{
StartCredits("ending_alexander.ogg", false, "Ending", "MainCredits", 9001);
}

RE: Expected '(' - WALP - 04-16-2013

Is it not supposed to be void OnLeave()?

Im still having problems with the code. The code is now this:

void OnLeave()

void ending(string &in asTimer);
{
StartCredits("ending_alexander.ogg", false, "Ending", "MainCredits", 9001);
}

It's
void OnLeave
{
}

Actually it is:
void OnLeave()
{
//code here
}

Also there should not be a semicolon after the ending function:
void ending(string &in asTimer);

So final code would look like:

Code:
void OnLeave()

{

    //code here

}

void ending(string &in asTimer)

{

    StartCredits("ending_alexander.ogg", false, "Ending", "MainCredits", 9001);

}

I highly recommend indenting lines withing functions and if statements as shown above as it can make your code way easier to read, and keep track of.

Yes. I will do that, but i copied that code, and removed the //code here cause i didnt have a code there. I am still getting an error but it is a different one. Now it is something like, "main (8,2) : ERR : Unexpected token '{' " I will send the code.

Code:
void OnLeave()

{

}

void ending(string &in asTimer);

{                                                                                             

    StartCredits("ending_alexander.ogg", false, "Ending", "MainCredits", 9001); This goes with StartCredits

}

Thats my code... Plz tell me what I done wrong.

RE: Expected '(' - Adrianis - 04-16-2013

Same as one of the problems you had before

Code:
void ending(string &in asTimer);

 {                                                                                             

     StartCredits("ending_alexander.ogg", false, "Ending", "MainCredits", 9001); This goes with StartCredits

 }

You need to not have a ; after void ending
Also, when you want to have normal writing in the code as a comment, you need to use // so that the program knows that the writing is not to be run as part of the script

Code:
void ending(string &in asTimer)

 {                                                                                             

     StartCredits("ending_alexander.ogg", false, "Ending", "MainCredits", 9001); //This goes with StartCredits

 }

Be careful to read all of what people say when they are trying to help you, the previous commenter Someone Else already pointed out the first issue

RE: Expected '(' - PutraenusAlivius - 04-16-2013

Did you even add a timer?
