[Trigger] Freaking triggering

[Darkey]

This is a problem that constantly comes up when I've done a little triggering.

When I save my map after triggering let's say a short cinematic sequence there's always some error coming up regarding something. I just recently triggered a short cinematic sequence and the error says there's 73 compile errors. "Invalid number of arguments" "Expected a code statement" "Expected a function name".

I can't really say I'm a pro at triggering, but I doubt I did so many mistakes on my triggering. This error had this text marked after saving the map.

call CreateItem( 'lhst', -2179,3, -3965,4 )

Any ideas of why this kind of things happen? (If you need a picture of my trigger function just let me know and I'll post a picture.)

According to the API, CreateItem only takes 3 arguments:

CreateItem      takes integer itemid, real x, real y returns item

But you are calling it with 5 arguments. Maybe you wanted to call it like this?

call CreateItem( 'lhst', -2179.3, -3965.4 )

Hint: use a period "." as your decimal separator instead of a comma ",".

Yes, I use periods "." and not commas"," but it seems to change by itself.

**EDIT**

I got a reply on another forum where I was asking the same question and they told me to go into Control Panel -> Regional Options -> Numbers -> Decimal Symbol and change it to a '.'. I'll let ya know if it worked out. Thanks for the replies anyways.

Sounds like a good suggestion about the regional settings.

It says so many errors because of a bug in the syntax checker.

1 error causes all script bellow to show with errors.
Vexorrian released a enhanced WE that replaces the bugged syntax of wc3 with Pjass so it only returns the true error.
