I often try to run scripts and get errors that are simply due to the updates in SRL.
But this is always going to happen.
I then try and update it myself. This gives me a good start in the common goal of learning to script, and helps me understand things better. But most of all, it makes sure that the scripters' very hard work doesn't go to waste just because someone can't be bothered replacing 5 - 10 lines in the script to make it work. Whenever i attempt to make older scripts compatible, it is always a hassle finding what to replace what with and why. This is why i thought it may be a good idea to post all the simple solutions to common problems with outdated scripts. For example, if you know you have come accross an error on several occasions, post it here and how to fix it , and importantly, why it has changed (if any real reason applies, other than "they changed the procedure's name")
E.g. (a very very common one, just an example!)
which can be fixed by changing[Error] (12759:1): Unknown identifier 'HighestAngle'
Failed When Compiling
toHighestAngle;
(and yes, im sure there are other methods. if so, post them!)Setangle(True)
or the error:
which can be changed to:[Error] (12759:1): Unknown identifier 'RunAway'
Failed When Compiling
sorry for the simple examples. Basically, the idea is to post all the script updates that can make older scripts compatible with new versions of SRL in one place. Hopefully it will be an asset to learning scripters and people wishing to update. Any information is useful, and this thread can also be used for people wishing to know how to update specific things by posting their problem. cheers, moose.RunTo(RunDirec, True);
