1. Errors with missing breaks can often return strange line number errors, that's a possibility. It's also possible you have a typo in your script's very first line of code. 2. As for the bow-- you must have a reward_give() or char_give_item() call somewhere in there, probably in the init_state. There really isn't any other way an item can just be stuck into one's inventory. 3. If you alter a town's boundaries so that they are too close the the edge, it can make it impossible to leave town. Check that your town boundaries are at least 1 or 2 spaces from the edge. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's...... Hot?

I've only been creating the towns themselves, and this is the only town script I have so far. Really it isn't anywhere near done, but the computer still reads it: begintownscript; variables; body; beginstate INIT_STATE; set_name(6,"Wallis"); set_name(8,"Rok"); set_name(9,"Ronald"); set_name(12,"Christian"); set_name(16,"Reeksamo"); set_name(17,"Sarg"); set_name(19,"Ringo"); set_name(20,"Kayla"); set_name(22,"Derek"); set_name(26,"Isssa"); set_name(27,"Kina-Bok"); set_name(34,"Orion"); set_name(35,"Harrow"); set_name(39,"Julie"); set_name(41,"Captain"); set_name(47,"Dahlia"); set_name(53,"Karl"); set_name(54,"Mack"); set_name(55,"Dorisss"); set_name(69,"Henry"); set_name(72,"Janis"); set_name(73,"Parth"); set_name(76,"Mark"); set_name(83,"Ari"); set_crime_tolerance(2); Thats a beginning, and I haven't found any spelling errors. I compared it to the scripts in other scenarios and it doesn't look like there is anything wrong. Also, I haven't put a script anywhere to give the party a reward, due to the fact that I've barely started. [ Saturday, March 10, 2007 11:38: Message edited by: Excalibur ] -------------------- WWJD?

You need a "break" at the end of your INIT_STATE. You also need a START_STATE and an EXIT_STATE for BoA even to read your script. The easiest way to make a functioning script is to copy a short script from an existing scenario (say, t20Small Cave from VoDT) and delete everything inside the states without deleting the states themselves. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

That's the problem. When someone says 'Plain Text Format', that means that the file doesn't contain any information about how to display the text; it just contains the text itself. What OS do you have? If you run Windows, a simple test is to try open your script with Notepad. If you see lots of weird characters, your file isn't in Plain Text Format. To be safe, write your scripts with one of the text editors listed here. -------------------- The following two statements are usually both true: There's not enough documentation.

No, as Dintridan said, it's best to use a file format that doesn't contain font information. Notepad is an easy way to do that on Windows, on Mac OS, TextEdit is good, but you have to set the default new document type to 'Plain text', I think the starting default is 'Rich text', which you don't want. One way that you can check a file (at least on a Mac, since it works with Internet Explorer, I'm guessing it'll work on a PC) is to save your file and give it a .txt extension, then open it using a webbrowser. If you see a bunch of junk like: at the beginning that you don't see in your text editor, then it isn't in plain text format and it may not work with BoA. -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners!

Gah! Too much mucking about looking for unnecessarily snarky comments about death to describe the subject of what's best to use for BoA scripts! Now my post is five minutes after Niemand's. Whatever.

So why do you bother to look at the BoA Editor forum? -------------------- WWJD? Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00 |

Not death to BoA or BoA scripts.
