[Solved] Syntax Error by creating a group

[Dr. Boom]

Moin moin =)

After longer time ago, I try myself again in vJass, everything works but one thing not. For my spell I need 2 unit groups and I create them in the globals section like this:

        private constant group GROUP_ONE = CreateGroup()
        private constant group GROUP_TWO = CreateGroup()

As I said, when I want save the map, I get a syntax error in both lines. I don't know but I created many groups like this for other spells, but here I get an error. Can someone think of why? Both names aren't used before and I can't see any typo. ARE I'M BLIND? =O =S

Greetings and Peace

you cannot make groups constant...

 

[Dr. Boom]

Then I ask myself, why he doesn't make a syntax by this:

private constant group CONTAINER = CreateGroup()

I always type in private constant ... and never got an error before!

 

[Adiktuz]

when I use it for things like groups, it always causes an error...

 

[Dr. Boom]

Click Clack Boom

        private group GROUP_ONE = CreateGroup()
        private group GROUP_TWO = CreateGroup()

Now I got this, but he still gives those syntax errors, so I guess it must be something else =O

This is the full globals section for non configurable globals:

    globals
        private constant real LOOP_TIME = 0.04
        private constant integer TEMP
        private group GROUP_ONE = CreateGroup()
        private group GROUP_TWO = CreateGroup()
        private unit array THUNDER_BALL
        private real array THUNDER_BALL_SCALE
        private real array TB_X
        private real array TB_Y
    endglobals

Where is this f**king error =(

you sure your declaring those variables inside a scope or a library? You can't make variables private if it's not inside a scope or library.

Could you post the entire script? It's hard to guess what's wrong if you just show us a small part of it.

 

[Dr. Boom]

Yes they are inside in a library

library ThunderRain initializer Init requires TimerUtils
   ...
endlibrary

private constant integer TEMP

/*
you should set it to a value because it is a constant...
*/

 

[Dr. Boom]

Rofl, that was the mistake, actually I never use constant for this TEMP Integer, don't know why I did it here. I removes the constant and now it works.

But why isn't JassHelper so smart and mark the correct line where the error is -_-

Anyway, thank you for helping =)

Because Vexorian didn't get paid any money, just did it for fun and goodwill, so it can't be expected to be error-free.

Because Vexorian didn't get paid any money, just did it for fun and goodwill, so it can't be expected to be error-free.

So I bet, that is the reason too, that the "Syntax Check" (next to "Fold all") only shows errors, when you use vJass =P

Ok but anyway, everything SOLVED!

but it shows the line number right? then it shows the codes together with the line number on the left...
