Tag Setting Variables

Master K · Post by **Master K** » Thu Sep 15, 2011 7:52 pm

I'm working on a script that randomly sets a choice of five tags on or off. But, it will not compile. It says an extra begin in it. Heres the script.

Code: Select all

plotscript, merchant tags, begin
	variable&#40;merchant&#41;
	set variable&#40;merchant,random&#40;1,15&#41;
	
	if &#40;merchant == 1&#41; then &#40;set tag&#40;26,ON&#41;
	if &#40;merchant == 2&#41; then &#40;set tag&#40;27,ON&#41;
	if &#40;merchant == 3&#41; then &#40;set tag&#40;28,ON&#41;
	if &#40;merchant == 4&#41; then &#40;set tag&#40;29,ON&#41;
	if &#40;merchant == 5&#41; then &#40;set tag&#40;30,ON&#41;
	if &#40;merchant == 6&#41; then &#40;set tag&#40;26,OFF&#41;
	if &#40;merchant == 7&#41; then &#40;set tag&#40;27,OFF&#41;
	if &#40;merchant == 8&#41; then &#40;set tag&#40;28,OFF&#41;
	if &#40;merchant == 9&#41; then &#40;set tag&#40;29,OFF&#41;
	if &#40;merchant == 10&#41; then &#40;set tag&#40;30,OFF&#41;
	
	end

Can you stop what is wrong?

setvariable (merchant,random(1,15)

should be

setvariable (merchant,random(1,15))

and actually, it looks like every settag is msising a ) too

Remember that ( and ) are exactly the same as begin and end, respectively. If you're not using an editor that does parenthesis matching, you should switch now. Notepad++ is an excellent editor.
