syntax error

[BradPittlord]

When you save your map and it compiles your script if it gives a syntax error it tells you what it is but what line it's on and the text box of that line is never actually where the syntax error is. Is there a way to find where it is cause VS isn't catching any errors

edit: For some reason if I disable all my lua scripts I still get a sytax error, even if I delete them all, still an error. I don't think I'm using any custom scripts that encompass the error.

Unknown compile error - 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 6636) near 'else'

It says what line number the error is on and inside that error box each line has a number before it telling you what number it is. Scroll the window until you find the line number it says has the syntax error.

Like the syntax error doesn't seem to apply to the compiled gui code on the line it gives

6629 function Trig_Game_Time_0_Rock_Gen_Seed_Func005C takes nothing returns boolean
6630     if ( not ( udg_MapSeedInt == 4 ) ) then
6631         return false
6632     endif
6633     return true
6634  endfunction
6635
6636  function Trig_Game_Time_0_Rock_Gen_Seed_Func006C takes nothing returns boolean
6637     if ( not ( udg_MapSeedInt == 5 ) ) then
6638         return false
6639     endif
6640     return true
6641 endfunction

See if figured out what it was
I had

• Custom script: function Grid_Two()

instead of

• Custom script: Grid_Two()

But that just make the error odd
Unknown compile error - 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 6636) near 'else'

Try having no space before "endfunction" or "function".

Thx but I'm trying to figure out why when I get a syntax error or any error on your script the error points to a line of code completely irrelevant to the error.
Just makes it take alot longer to find the error.

That code is just gui compiled into jass, it shouldn't give any errors.

Is your map set to use Lua or JASS? Yes the syntax checker is bad but it should still provide helpful information.

 

[BradPittlord]

It's Lua, maybe it's a bug. If I use the "validate trigger" button and there's a syntax error it's never right, always says Line 0: Unknown Compile error. But when it validates triggers on saving it's right like 25% of the time.

You can disable triggers in batches to figure out where the error is. It's my guess that you have some Custom Script lines where you tried to type JASS code and you should have typed Lua. Or triggers you copied from somewhere have such CS lines because they were written before Lua was a thing in wc3.
