Scripting Issues

[TimeShadow]

I am having some problems with a script that I am trying to edit.

 

This is the Message that I received:

Too few variables in MessageBox parameters; expected 9, found 0

 

All that I am trying to do is add a button to a MSG that brings up instructions

 

Script After Edit:

 

elseif ( MenuItem == 5 )

ShowMessage aaBMHECCOchemStatsMSG

elseif ( MenuItem == 6 )

 

Endif

Endif

Endif

End

 

Script Before Edit:

 

elseif MenuItem == 5

 

Endif

Endif

Endif

End

 

Also: int MenuItem

 

The 5 was the Exit button and now the 5 is the Instructions button and the 6 is the Exit button.

No other modifications were made and the script worked flawlessly prior to edit,

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Message forms can be made to take parameters using format specifiers. http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php?title=ShowMessage

 

I'm guessing that aaBMHECCCOchemStatsMSG's text has 9 such specifiers, which means that you must pass 9 parameters. The buttons are irrelevant to this error.

Can you elaborate on specifiers?

aaBMHECCOchemStatsMSG is just the ID I used for the Message in the GECK, it has no assigned Menu Buttons, it just contains the text message.

I have done this in the past w/ no issues. Just don't understand the message "too few variables in MessageBox parameters;".

 

Let me ask you something, is the body of the text have to adhere to some sort of guidelines? Are there curtain characters that I can't use?

Within the body of the text I am using these characters,

% and +.

 

There are 9 % signs in the text body.
