Need help with my script - ooadrianoo - 05-25-2013

Hello everyone,
this script doesn't work. "icounter" must be declared and expression must be in boolean type.

PHP Code:
void OnStart()
{
int icounter = 1;
}

void counter(string &in asStickyArea, string &in asBodyName)
{
if (icounter < 2) ++icounter; 
Here^ "icounter" should be declared
PHP Code:
else GiveSanityBoostSmall();
} 

I don't need to declare "icounter". I could be in boolean type but I don't know why it doesn't work this way.

Any suggestions?

icounter is a local variable, which is why the function counter does not recognize it.

EDIT: Also, it says your expression is not of type Boolean because icounter isn't declared, so it's meaningless. It's the same as saying: If three is less than banana then this.

To make it a global variable (visible to every function) move it out of the OnStart() function. For example, like this:
PHP Code:
int icounter = 1;

void OnStart()
{
}

void counter(string &in asStickyArea, string &in asBodyName)
{
    if (icounter < 2) ++icounter; 
    else GiveSanityBoostSmall();
}

Thanks! Now it works, you deserved a reputation Smile
