A brief lesson on fixing annoying errors :P

[JAD]

Added a few more errors to help out all my fellow scripters :) enjoy.

well in this tutorial i will go over fixing some of the most common errors, and hopefully explain good enough how to fix them :P well here we go:

Note: all errors can be caused on the line it says the error is on or the line of code above (not counting comments, so if you have comments above, it may be caused by
the first line of code above it) Usually they will not occur anywhere else (not counting access violation, include doesn't exist...etc, the ones that don't tell you a line)



Error 1: Close round expected in script



Solution: Count your parenthesis on the line which the error occurs. for

example: if (FindColorSpiralTolerance(x, y, RockColor, 0, 0, 249, 179, Tol) then

see whats wrong with that? you have 2 ( ('s but only 1 ) to close it. you'd need to put 2 at the end of that like this:

if (FindColorSpiralTolerance(x, y, RockColor, 0, 0, 249, 179, Tol)) then

OK so now i hope you got that, Moving on..





Error 2: Include file C:\Program Files\SCAR 2.03\includes\SRL/SRL.scar does not exist. (or something like that)



Solution: this is the biggest error of all time. all you need to do for this is read the tutorial for installing SRL in the Install SRL forum. Moving on..





Error 3: Semicolon (';') expected in script



Solution: this used to happen to me A LOT when i didn't put a ";" after my variables. just remember to do so. You will also get this when you forget to put a ";" after your procedure/function names. Moving on..






Error 4: Unknown identifier 'AntBan' in script (or something like that)



Solution: this means that you did either did not type something write, you called a procedure that does not exist, you called for a variable that does not exist or you did no include an include, and call for it to setup at end of script (example if you needed to setup SRL in the main loop you need SetupSRL; in script and the include after program name)
so if this happens just check what either what variable you used, usually you just spelled it wrong above where you declared it. check spelling of it. check procedure name and check name of procedure you called for. Moving on..






Error 5: Duplicate Identifier i in script (or something like that)



Solution: to fix this i used x for an example. lets say you used i as your variable, then you made a procedure/function called i. this would not work because i is already used as a variable in the script, so you cannot name that as a procedure. So pretty much, you can't name 2 things the same thing, every name for variable/functions/procedures/constants...etc. has to be different.

Now, if there's a variable or a procedure in SRL and you have SRL included in your script, if you try to call a procedure/function something which's name is already used in SRL, you will get a duplicated identifier with that. So you can't make a procedure named this in your script if you're including SRL:


procedure Mouse;
begin
if(FindColor(x,y,12345,123,123,123,123))then
ClickMouse(x,y,true);
end;


If you included SRL, that would give you an error because Mouse is already a procedure in SRL. Hope you got that :) Moving on..






Error 6: Identifier expected in script.



Solution: count your begins and ends in your script, and make sure for each begin, you have an "end;" also make sure for each repeat you have an until. Moving on..






Error 7: 'BEGIN' expected in script.



Solution: make sure you have a begin at the beginning of your procedure.





Error 8: Invalid number of parameters in script.



Solution: this is ussually caused if you put too many numbers, parenthesis and things like that in script. if you put MMouse(x,y,0,0,0,) it would probably say invalid number of parameters. so just check whats needed in the command, and if theres anything extra thats not needed.







Error 9: Access violation.

Solution: Access violation usually always happens when somebody doesn't call for setupSRL; in there main loop of script (if your include is {.include SRL/SRL.scar}..) so heres what would be wrong:
Example:

program WhatEver;
{.include SRL/SRL.scar}
procedure Whatever2;
begin
//code here..
end;
begin //main loop.
Whatever2;
end.


See. now that would be wrong because you don't have SetupSRL; in your main loop. remember when using SetupSRL; you need it to be pretty much the first thing in your main loop, before any autoing. Heres a working example:

program WhatEver;
{.include SRL/SRL.scar}
procedure Whatever2;
begin
//code here..
end;
begin //main loop.
SetupSRL; //heres why it works now :D
Whatever2;
end.


The other most common way people get this error is calling for a bitmap when you didn't declare it. Lets say your script is something like this:

program Whatever;

var TheBitmap, x,y: Integer;

procedure LoadBitmaps;
begin

TheBitmap := BitmapFromString//And then the rest of your bitmap of course...

end;

procedure ClickTheBitmap;
begin
if(FindBitmap(TheBitmap,x,y))then
begin
wait(100+random(100));
Mouse(x,y,0,0,true);
end;
end;

begin
ClickTheBitmap;
end.


Now, that would cause an error! Do you know why? Because you didn't declare the LoadBitmaps procedure in the main loop as many people fail to do. So here is how it would look correctly:


program Whatever;

var TheBitmap, x,y: Integer;

procedure LoadBitmaps;
begin

TheBitmap := BitmapFromString//And then the rest of your bitmap of course...

end;

procedure ClickTheBitmap;
begin
if(FindBitmap(TheBitmap,x,y))then
begin
wait(100+random(100));
Mouse(x,y,0,0,true);
end;
end;

begin
LoadBitmaps; //This is what fixed the error!
ClickTheBitmap;
end.









Error 10: Out of range error.



Solution:
This is most commonly caused by not setting your players right in the player arrays. When you set the number of players, you are setting the number of slots that there are players for, ACTIVE OR NOT! so if you have 2 users active, but there are 6 slots, then you still have the how many players as 6.






Error 11: Assignment expected in script.



Solution:
This error happened to me a few days ago when I was scripting and adding the progress report. It happened to me when I had in my banking procedure for my chopper:
Example:

LoadsNum=LoadsNum+1;

that would be in correct and you would get an error. you need to add a ":" like so:

LoadsNum:=LoadsNum+1;


well thats my tut for now, if i think of any more errors I will edit this. if you have any errors that i didn't post, and you think i should please post below. don't forget to plus rep me if this was helpful :) thanks for reading this, hoped i helped you some. laterz for now.





Error 12: Close round expected in script



Solution: This just means that you are missing a/some ")"[s] for each "(" you have. So this:


procedure Whatever;
begin
if(FindColor(x,y,1321235,MMX1,MMY1,MMX2,MMY2)then
ClickMouse(x,y,true);
end;


wouldn't work because you are missing a ")" in the FindColor. So just count your "(" 's and make sure that for each "(" you have, you have a ")" to close it. Moving on..





Error 13: comma "," expected in script



Solution: This could actually mean that you are missing a parenthesis/close round somewhere, and can be caused by other problems that you could fix above. But something like:


if(FindColor(x,y,1234123,MMX1,MMY1,MMX2 MMY2))then
ClickMouse(x,y,true);


wouldn't work. Because the MMX2 MMY2 doesn't have a comma between it. Just make sure you have that, and it could be caused by the line above not having a closed round or something. Moving on..





Error 14: 'THEN' expected in script



Solution: Simply means you don't have a "then" in something that has an if. For example:


procedure Whatever;
begin
if(FindColor(x,y,1235123,MMX1,MMY1,MMX2,MMY2))
ClickMouse(x,y,true);
if(InChat('JAD is awesome!'))
Writeln('JAD is awesome was in the chat!');
end;


That wouldn't work because you don't have any then's for lines that have an if. So it's pretty much saying, if it finds the color (or whatever), then it does what? What does it do if it finds the color? Just put a then after it to fix that. Moving on..





Error 15: String error in script



Solution: Means you forgot to close an opening "'" with a closing "'" So this:


procedure Whatever;
begin
Writeln('JAD is sooo awesome!);
if(InChat('hi there))then
Writeln('JAD is sooooooo awesome!);
end;

wouldn't work. All 3 of the commands wouldn't work because you didn't close the opening "'" with a closing "'". Moving on..





Error 16: Syntax error in script



Solution: Most-likely means you didn't type something right. Just make sure all the parameters and everything are correct. This would give you a syntax error:


procedure Whatever;
var J: Integer;
begin
J := 5;
Writeln(J);
end;


That wouldn't work because J isn't a string, and you didn't use IntToStr in that Writeln. It would also happen when your using something like GetTextAtEx and using an integer where there is supposed to be a string. Moving on..

[HarryJames]

thats is actually very handy, cheers Jad

[opcon]

yeah nice work JAD

[JAD]

thank you guys :)

[pwnaz0r]

Isnt this like your 3rd tut :p nice work bro.(You did have the day off tho :))

[JAD]

if I get an idea for a tutorial, I just go for it, because I have all the time in the world :) I usually do spread them out though, this one was like 1 day off my things the beginner tuts dont teach you, then I made one after this one :p currently thinking of more ideas, then I'll write some more :)

[3Garrett3]

Do you know how to get rid of Syntax errors?

[Meanage]

nice tut, i amagine this will be very helpful, i hate annoying errors. also, you could add something about not having enough ends at the end of procuedures

[JAD]

nice tut, i amagine this will be very helpful, i hate annoying errors. also, you could add something about not having enough ends at the end of procuedures


Error 6: Identifier expected in script. that just says count your begins and ends.

@garret, thanks for the suggestion. I'll be sure to add that!

[StK Squenc]

here's another one that u dont have up thier....

I need help with this....editing someones script:D

Line 937: [Error] (20638:47): Invalid number of parameters in script

Heres the line

if(GetChatMessage(Players[CurrentPlayer].Name)) or (GetChatMessage(Players[CurrentPlayer].Nick))then

JAD add me on msn. CLick the colorful butterfly Next to longetivy. or below where i live i dont know where its at lol

[YoHoJo]

I believe the procedure is now called
GetChatMsg


you may also use:
function IsChatMessage(s: String): Boolean;
function GetNewChatMsg: String;
function GetLastChatText(var chat: String): Boolean;
function ClickNpcChatText(txt: String): Boolean;
function FindNpcChatText(txt: String): Boolean;

:p =)

[the flea]

do you know how to sort this out?
Line 84: [Error] (17745:1): Type mismatch in script C:\Program Files\SCAR 2.03\Scripts\******.scar (i edited name because its not released yet.

line 84 is :
writeln('buried a full inv of bones')

[diamondhero6]

it in the line above it usually
so look and see if theres anything wrong in line 83

[Boreas]

Actually the line below it, 85. You didn't have ; on 84, so SCAR thinks that the line after it (and all lines until it hits a ; ) is 84.

[JAD]

WOW! thats amazing this tutorial got stickied over my other tuts which I think were better :p but I'm not going to complain :D thanks whoever stickied this :p

[MJJ]

:D thanks for this JAD :D

good job you know what your doing :p

[JAD]

Ty :d

[aran armath]

I keep getting this message

Line 871: [Error] (6737:12): Unknown identifier 'FindColorCircleD' in script C:\Program Files\SCAR 2.03\includes\srl\srl\core\Color.scar

here is what line 871 looks like in color.scar

Result := (FindColorCircleD(x, y, color, radius, MidPointx, MidPointy, 0));

[JAD]

You need to copy the plug ins from your SRL folder to your scar plugins folder I'm 99.9% sure :)

[aran armath]

which SRL folder? Im so confused

[JAD]

the plug ins folder :p

[~alex~]

Any help on an Access violation?

[stein3]

thanks so much! That helped but theres another one i get now :(

comma ',' expected

(it expects it to be M,Mouse)
wtf?

[JAD]

@nate, Could you give me the line above where it says the error, the line it says the error on and the line below it? I could help you then :p

@alex, Thanks, I'll add that. forgot about that one. read updated version.

[belgin fish]

ok JAD This Is Bothering Me

Line 61: [Error] (18102:1): comma (',') expected in script

60-wait(10+random(3)
61-FindTalk;
62-if(FindFight) then

the numbers are just the lines 60, 61, 62

[JAD]

wait(10+random(3)

you have 2 (('s right? How many )'s do you have to close it off? :) Just make it:
wait(10+random(3)) and it will work.

[Synthroids]

Man, I've been stuck with that runtime error for just under an hour now. You're a life saver :P

Well written, great guide.

[JAD]

Thanks a lot synth! Glad to be of service to a fellow scripter :D

[kooldude]

I like this, helped me ALOT!!! o yea i got this error though Line 12: [Error] (17347:40): Type mismatch in script, think it was awnsered by boreas ill check

[JAD]

Thanks a lot! :D

[Deni_mulic]

OMFG I LOVE U
It took me 2 hours, but thanks to this lesson, I've fixed my powerminer script with full anti randoms and multi user capability :)

Lol, thanks for posting :D

Glad to be of help to a fellow scripter, can't wait to see your script! Feel free to ask me any questions on msn or pm me (pming me is more reliable because I'm not always on msn).

[vinzone]

I really need help with this

You didn't download SRL correctly. You need to put your plugins in the plugin folder. If you don't know what that means, just redownload SRL ;)

[vinzone]

Awesome! You mean trying to fix your own script errors or others? ;)

[carlitox]

how can i solve bank problems, (ie oak anhiliator that never banks oaks, or secetcutter that never finds bank booth??))

[JAD]

how can i solve bank problems, (ie oak anhiliator that never banks oaks, or secetcutter that never finds bank booth??))

This tutorial is for fixing Errors. Not for fixing script problems. Sorry, maybe give your problem on the thread saying whats wrong?

[Tazzie 02]

I like this tut JAD. I come to it every time I encounter an error. I have an error...

Line 45: [Error] (18086:27): Invalid number of parameters in script C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\SCAR\Scripts\Scripts\Willow Cutter.scar

on line 45 it says...


if(IsUpTextMulti('Willow'))then

Please help me!
Tazzie

[Bobarkinator]

IsUpTextMulti looks for 3 uptexts and you only have one, do this "IsUpTextMulti('illow','low','Willow');"

[Tazzie 02]

OK. Thanks bobarkinator.

[JAD]

I like this tut JAD. I come to it every time I encounter an error. I have an error...


on line 45 it says...



Please help me!
Tazzie

Thanks :) I think it saves a lot of posts in the scripting help section from some newer scripters just looking at this.. :p

[RudeBoiAlex]

JAD u helped us all lol

[JAD]

JAD u helped us all lol

Lol, good ;)

[Tazzie 02]

Ummm... I kind of got another error with a progress report. Error is

Line 72: [Error] (18113:1): Invalid number of parameters in script C:\WINDOWS\...
And line 72 is

Writeln('+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+')

Thanks.

Tazzie

[JAD]

Ummm... I kind of got another error with a progress report. Error is

And line 72 is


Thanks.

Tazzie

Hmm.. Interesting. Could you please post the whole script? Or at least that whole procedure? I'll see if I can fix it (Probably can).

[dialeyj2]

idk what to do with this error:

Line 14: [Error] (14:4): period ('.') expected in script

this is my entire script:

program KingOfButtons;
var x,y:Integer;
const ButtonColor=3158271;
Procedure StartGame;
begin
MoveMouse(595,68);
ClickMouse(595,68,true);
MoveMouse(543,29);
ClickMouse(543,29,true);
end;
begin
StartGame;
end;
begin
if(FindColor(x,y,ButtonColor,416,-387,965,12))then
begin
MoveMouse(x,y);
ClickMouse(x,y,true);
end;
end.

It's one of my first scripts and idk wut to do. plz help!

EDIT: ok ty

[JAD]

this here:

begin
StartGame;
end;

isn't a procedure. You make it look like it's your main loop starting with a begin and it's supposed to end with a "end.". Change your loop around or make extra procedures to try to fix that.

Hope you get what I mean :)

[drnewheart]

Thanks I fixed soooooo many scripts now ZOMG i can't express my gratitude. LOL i sound corny.

[stay bombin]

thank you very much sir

[JAD]

thank you very much sir

No problem. I love it when people call me sir when I'm only 13 lol.

[x13om13e12x]

These are some of the errors i find

comma (',') expected in script
which means yoru missing a comma


'THEN' expected in script
which means that you didnt type 'then' after an if statement...or you put a
semicolon ";" in the sentence before you typed then.


String error in script
which means that you left a ' out when using them ex.

Writeln('I am happy)


Syntax error in script
Which I think means that you didnt use the command or function parameters right. ex. typing a number value where there should be a string

[JAD]

you could have errors

which means you didnt count the Parentases


which means yoru missing a comma


which means that you didnt type 'then' after an if statement...or you put a
semicolon ";" in the sentence before you typed then.


which means that you left a ' out when using them ex.



Which I think means that you didnt use the command or function right.

Thank you very much! This has helped me a lot in improving my tutorial. I never get many errors like that anymore because I know how things should be, but I got them all the time when I was new to scripting and forgot about them ;)

But this has added lots of new errors to my tutorial, thanks!

[randy marsh]

No problem. I love it when people call me sir when I'm only 13 lol.



One clever 13 year old! :D

Wish i code like you and im 21!

Count your begins/repeats and ends/untils from the procedure above. That is most likely the problem. If not, just give me the whole procedure above that to and I can probably fix it :)

[x13om13e12x]

The previous procedure is very long, and i don't feel like exposing most o fmy script, so im gona send it to you in a message.
Edit: Nvm i read through the procedure and I found alot of errors, i screwed up on some standards and thought i had ended the begin before going on cause i was already at the same spaces from the end. and ty for the help

i m using the willow chopper and it keeps saying error detecting compas angle how do i solve it at what bank booth do i need to stand?:confused:

[JAD]

i m using the willow chopper and it keeps saying error detecting compas angle how do i solve it at what bank booth do i need to stand?:confused:

what willow chopper? My edgevil willow chopper? If your talking about that, this is the wrong section... :p

But that script hasn't been updated by me in forever, and I was pretty new to scripting when I made that.. And I don't plan on updating it, but I may ;)

If that wasn't what you were talking about, please tell me what you meant by your post.

[zenma]

nice guide jad, lol this helped me with like 5 errors in my script except for one that i cant figure out i think it should work but it says "line 422: [Error] (14832:10): 'THEN' expected in script" heres part of the script if u wanna help

Procedure loginme1;
begin;
DeclarePlayers;
wait(500 - random(250))
LoginPlayer;
wait(19000 + random(4000) - random(4000));
if NoNet :=true then
FindNet;
end;

what did i do wrong ( besides the functions and procedures wouldnt work cause there before that in whole script)

[JAD]

You have a ":" in your NoNet = thing :p

If your checking a result, like if This = this then or whatever, then you just use a "=" sign. If your changing a variable, like if(InChat('JAD is awesome!'))then OurVariable := 10293765; you'd use a ":" like so :)

So just take out that ":" and you should be good.

And thanks a lot :)

[zenma]

oh ok thanks w00t jad is rad :cool:

Thanks! :) And the funny thing is, before I wrote this tut (when I just joined), there were sooo many common errors being posted in the scripting help section like close round expected....etc. and now we barely ever get those posts for simple errors.

Thanks everyone :)

[koolkarpet]

Thank You so much now my script is working!!!

[sheetomg]

what about mismatch error?

[JAD]

what about mismatch error?

I believe I added Type Mismatch error, didn't I? ;)

[sheetomg]

I believe I added Type Mismatch error, didn't I?

ahh must have missed it, great tut btw

[JAD]

ahh must have missed it, great tut btw

Thanks :)

[JAD]

Any idea what could be causing this problem?
Nice tut by the way.
Thanks.

Thanks, and np :p

And 2 things could have caused that:

1: You didn't declare Loads as a variable or a constant, whichever you want to use it for :p

2: You declared it as a variable after a procedure name and before the begin, making it a non-global variable, so it can't be used anywhere else except that procedure/function, and you are calling it in a different one.


1 of those 2 should solve it, most-likely the first one. If they don't, post your script and I'll fix it :)

[sukomabawls]

[B]I SUCK AT SCRIPTING!!!!!![B] you guide helped though, thanks!

EDIT: Sorry for the double post, i didnt know i posted last :p

Count the begins and ends above. Make sure for each begin you have an end..

Also, if above you have "var", and don't have any variables being declared by it, that may cause it to.

If that doesn't help may you please post the script, or at least the procedure above that line? Thanks!

[maux]

allways when I try to run a fishing script I get the same anoying error which dont lets me play any fishing script

[JAD]

Line 18: [Error] (14832:1): Syntax error in script C:\Program Files\SCAR 3.11\Scripts\wood cutter and seller.scar

...didn't fix anything

It's because there is a + after the last line of the bitmap. There's also a problem in your bitmap... There is tons of errors in there. Try making a new bitmap.

[lamatime]

ty JAD your the best

ill try

Edit: nothing wrong with bitmap, r you sure your using scar divi 3.11 with srl 3.8?

[lamatime]

[valesar]

Another great tutorial, I'm sure I'll use this a lot to fix all those annoying errors that always pop up (I swear sometimes it just makes em up to annoy me)

[SilentScripter]

Thxs Jad with the error help.:)

[lordofdapoop]

This helped alot. =)

[ultima2007]

This helped me out a lot, im trying to make a couple of beginning scripts
and I've gotten all these errors at least once lol

[Derek-]

Nice Tut.
Hope you don't mind if I use a link to it in my form. =]

[Zyt3x]

Could not call proc in line ** in script.

What causes this?? :?

[ShowerThoughts]

must say nice bump:(

[Toterache]

Here is one you might want to include: Unexpected end of file
Not sure how to solve it, maybe has something to do with too many ends?
EDIT: hehe, found the problem, i just had procedures, and I just tried to see if any errors were happening, and I ended it with "end.", even though i didn't get to what the program was supposed to do. :)

[Fruity-Lo0py]

Thanks so MUCH!

[BuuB]

Thanks for this. :)

[Boonce]

Thanks great thread! It will help alot!

[The3point14]

AHHH THIS IS MY BIBLE! I hate errors, and I get them all the time whether I am scripting or running one that I downloaded. Finally I can fix most of them and run it correctly.

Thanks!

[PwNZoRNooB]

Heh, this is handy. Ctrl + D (bookmark) :)

[Sean425]

VERY nice guide, it will help me a lot while I'm learning to script scar.
I'm sure it has helped many others as well! :)

[Naum]

Try to see if you can get round this one JAD :p :
Type mismatch in script
It would be a real help if you could.
Thank-You

[glenn10245]

yo can someone of u help me with this if i try to start flax spinner script it runs but the there come error detecting compass angle

[Rawr_Cabbage]

Ooooh, that's what duplicate identifiers are. I tried to make a drop all procedure a while back (just something simple to use when cleaning out my bank ;p) and didn't realize I named the procedure the same as the SRL, hah. Well, thanks, I know now.

[theman55]

umm i hav a problem with unknown identifier 'x' on line 82 here lines 81 to 88

please help if you can...

[Zeta]

for the identifier exptected, you should also state that cases count as begins, because i forgot all about that and it really pissed me off <.<

[Toterache]

First of all: Really nice script, saved me tons of time and anger, but right now I got an error that doesn't seem to be up there, and it pops-up every time i use {.include SRL\SRL.scar}.
It opens up a second tab named global.scar, and the this error comes up:
Line 32: [Error] (75:1): Duplicate identifier '' in script C:\Program Files\SCAR 3.06\includes\SRL/SRL/Core/Globals.scar

I really finally want to run my script, but this stupid errors doesn't allow me to. This same errors ocures on scripts i got from other players which include {.include SRL\SRL.scar}, how can I solve this?

Thank you for your time

EDIT: Nvm for my problem, I just had to download the new Scar version (mine was still on Divi 3.06 or something, noow i upgraded it to divi 3.12c i believe, and it's running just fine.

[pl0xmypl0x]

ty this helped

[tckaile]

Thanks JAD for the tutorial. I recently found out about SCAR and SRL and thought that it would be pretty cool to learn a scripting language. I've downloaded most of the free scripts for reference and I've bookmarked every tut I have come across. Hopefully one day I will be as masterful with scripting as you are. Thank you again.

"include file c:\program files\scar 3.15\includes\srl\srl\misc\bitmaps.scar does not exist"

[tbssagvw2]

Hey, I dont know if anybody's mentioned this yet, but if you can tell me how to fix it that'd be cool =)...What do you do when it says "Type mismatch in script"? Thanks

[tbssagvw2]

Sorry, double post =O

[Pu3rto0wn]

always get this error Line 48: [Error] (13122:8): Unknown identifier 'FindMime' in script

please help

[StrikerX]

always get this error Line 48: [Error] (13122:8): Unknown identifier 'FindMime' in script

please help

you dont need that just use

FindNormalRandoms

[Pu3rto0wn]

ok but what about the scripts i want tuse but have that in it

[Pure1993]

I came across a different comma exptected in script error (again :rolleyes: ), and I don't know if it has been posted before, but if it hasn't, here is the problem and how to solve it:
Problem:

Writeln('Hi, I am 'IntToStr(age)' years old');

Solution:

Writeln('Hi, I am '+IntToStr(age)+' years old');

Explanation: The pluses are missing... :duh:
It is because of the simplicity of the error that it appears almost every time I write a script :D

Edit: To The Person who posted above me:
Question:
ok but what about the scripts i want tuse but have that in it
Answer: Select the entire "FindFastRandoms" and delete it. after that you schould get an error like: "unknown identifier" a couple of times, jumping to the lines in which the procedure is still called for. just delete all of those, too. btw: scripts using FindFastRandoms are probably way outdated, so the probability that they should work for someone with little Scar knowledge is at about 0%. Get an up-to-date script, or maybe kindly ask the person if he/she could update it. Easy solution to an easy problem. :)
(I'm really in the mood today to help, I'd better shut my pc off now, or I might get annoying ;))

[sunny]

im getting this come up
[Runtime Error] : Out Of Range in line 1211 in script C:\Program Files\SCAR 3.15\includes\SRL/SRL/Core/AntiRandoms/AntiRandoms.scar

is this like your
Error 10: Out of range error.



Solution:
This is most commonly caused by not setting your players right in the player arrays. When you set the number of players, you are setting the number of slots that there are players for, ACTIVE OR NOT! so if you have 2 users active, but there are 6 slots, then you still have the how many players as 6.

because if it is im confuse because im sure i have my players setup right and i dont have 1211 lines to my script and it popped up with anti randoms

rep++ for help

[thebob142]

how you fix this?

Line 61: [Error] (12724:20): colon (':') expected in script D:\Documents and Settings\kids\Desktop\powerminner.scar

[Griff]

so I keep getting this invalid number of parameters in script. Does this mean that mean I have to check my entire script for where it could be?

[opensourcev2]

i'm a beginner at scripting and kept getting loads of these errors

Having read this though I am finding it much easier to script and fix other peoples scripts.

Thanks!!!!!!!

Thanks JAD please make more!

[EdsuBR]

Very useful Tutorial, i learned how to fix like 3 or 4 errors that i used to have :P, here.
I hope other noobs have the 'inteligence' to read this post before triple posting the same thread with the same error.

[13om13e12]

Wow Ty Jad this was extremely helpful.

[Boingpie]

i got this error, it isnt mentioned on your guide

[Lycan Fenrir]

Error 2: Include file C:\Program Files\SCAR 2.03\includes\SRL/SRL.scar does not exist. (or something like that)



Solution: this is the biggest error of all time. all you need to do for this is read the tutorial for installing SRL in the Install SRL forum. Moving on..

I got this, it could also mean the script you are using is out of date I think. Thats the problem I got.

[Griff]

What do I do for type mismatch in the script?

[Ghostman]

Nice tut

I forget about the comma alot to:duh:

If this thread is still alive...I had been getting problems saying "Then" expected in line:x. ( Already have error up there ) In my case i already had an "Then" after the IF. It turned out to be a problem with having to many parenthesis.Add that to the error in the first post please.:garfield:

I am not 100% sure on that, but I don't think that you have the latest revision of SRL. Try updating SRL and tell me if that fixes it.

The Best guide I have used probably. I have favorited this page ;)
I have used this sooooo many times.

Thank you

This tut helps me out.. These problems happen a lot and now I am going to finish them all, thanks ;)

[Raykorin]

you have said that the out of range errors are cause by improperly setting your players, but I have quadruple checked to make sure they are set properly and I still get this error:

You guys are making enjoy learning more about scripts when I came here for 07 scape. I never knew about color bots before searching up 07 scape bots on google and powerbot forum but the more I learn the more I feel educated on scripts and how they work. Thanks for this. Might make my own script.

Its actually not so overwhelming once you get the hang of it. Im making scripts for flash games in order to get my barrings. Scripts can be used for so much more than runescape.
