Little scripting help please

What's wrong with this script?

I have one message (FVisionsEntryMessage02) that will give acess to 3 other messages (FVisionsMessage01, 02 and 03) on player choice.

The entry message is a button choice message with 4 buttons : index 0 is the exit button, index 1 is the first message and buttons 2 and 3 correspond to the 2nd and 3rd messages.

I already have a working script that is identical to this one. The only difference is that the entry message only gives 2 button choices. (0, 1 and 2)

 

But in this case im getting an error on line 27 saying:

" SCRIPTS: Script 'FVisionstScript', line 27:

Too few variables in MessageBox parameters; expected 1, found 0.

 

I have no idea what this means or why it works on my first 2 button script and not on this one. I have lready checked that all messages are created and that the entry message has all the 4 choice buttons.

Here's a copy of the script. Any help will be appreciated.

 

scn FVisionstScript

short button
short DoOnce
short DoOnce2
short DoOnce3

begin OnActivate

ShowMessage FVisionsEntryMessage02
set DoOnce to 0
set DoOnce2 to 0
set DoOnce3 to 0

End

Begin GameMode

	set Button to GetButtonPressed

	if ( button == 1 ) && ( DoOnce == 0 )
		ShowMessage	FVisionsMessage01
		set DoOnce to 1
		ShowMessage FVisionsEntryMessage02
	endif
	if ( button == 2	) && ( DoOnce2 == 0 )
		ShowMessage FVisionsMessage02   ; This is the line where I'm getting the error
		set DoOnce2 to 1
		ShowMessage FVisionsEntryMessage02
	endif
	if ( button == 3	) && ( DoOnce3 == 0 )
		ShowMessage FVisionsMessage3
		set DoOnce3 to 1
		ShowMessage FVisionsEntryMessage02
	endif
end

Does the message "FVisionsMessage02" have a variable in the message text (IE: "%.0f")? Then ShowMessage would need additional variables passed to it.

ShowMessage FVisionsMessage02, fVariable01

Nop. The 2nd button in the entry mesage is called "Biology", don't know if that messes it, I had already tried to change that button's name because of that but the problem still happens.

 

Apparently the problem was in fact a percent value in the 2nd message. That value is only related to the text itself, it would never have occured to me, lol just changed "15%" with "15 percent" and it saved.

 

Thx a lot for the help :thumbsup:

Maybe try replacing "FVisionsMessage02" with "FVisionsMessage01" to see if it will compile. If it does, then the message is borked.

 

Maybe try Here and Here.

Try using Elseif instead of endif after each if. I don't know if that is causing any issues though.

Its already fixed like I said above. The problem was a "15%" value that was part of the 2nd message that the game was assuming to be a variable. I replaced it with "15 percent" and the script saved. But thx for the reply anyway

You can use %% to display % sign 8)
