[JASS] Expected a name

[NightSkyAurora]

I downloaded a missile system because my own system clearly won't work at all. After importing it, the program said that it expected a name somewhere in the trigger. I searched it through and found the problem.

trigger

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set udg_MS_tempreal[2] = ParabolaZ(udg_MS_MissileH2[udg_MS_Integer[3]],udg_MS_tempreal[1],udg_MS_distance[udg_MS_Integer[3]])

So I looked each variable carefully through 3 times and I can tell you that I am 100% sure that every variable used in this script does exist. It doesn't give this error in the original map so why doesn't it work in mine?

EDIT: Ok I'll copy and paste the varibles so you can see for yourselfs:

MS_tempreal - array of real
MS_MissileH2 - array of real
MS_Integer - array of integer
MS_distance - array of real.
I deleted the triggers and imported them again. samre results....

do you have a library in your header with the function ParabolaZ?

also, is that the line that jasshelper told you about and you put it in that trigger? or is that trigger part of the system?

e/ oh your variables should be

MS tempreal
MS MissileH2

not

MS_tempreal

...

if i remember correctly about how JASS interpets GUI variable constants

you cant have space in variable name

also you instantly assume he is using JNGP, in fact, he may very well be in normal editor, where he cant even use vJass stuff with libraries etc.

Is the script Jass or vJass? If it is vJass, you will have to download JNGP and use that if you arent already. If it is Jass, then you can just put it to the map header script(when you click on the map in trigger editor, from which all the GUI triggers and comments and folders and everything go) and it should work OK.

You can distinguish vJass and Jass by looking for these keywords: struct, library, scope, initializer, interface, extends, module, globals, method, method operator, static, //! textmacro, //! import and of course their end counterparts(endglobals etc)

If it doesn't work after you follow them, please show us the ParabolaZ function.

I've found the problem thanks everyone. I missed the code in the header. In 16 months of experiance in triggers, I've never seen that header and it took me a week to find it after hearing of it. I feel like an idiot lol
