Hey i tried installing my own NPC but it vailed due to this

[VlartheNPC\E#vlar.d] PARSE ERROR at line 3 column 1-21
Near Text: ~NumTimesTalkedTo(0)~
	Not An Integer

can you explain and help fix. Please

[hlidskialf]

Try posting the .d file in question. At least the line proceding the one noted in the error and the rest of the block. I suspect you've forgotten a bracket, comma or tilde or something on the proceding line.

Do you have everything before it that is supposed to be in tildes (~) in tildes(~)? Everything after? I have found that missing even one 40 lines up can cause errors that make no sense.

Yes, but if it's a problem at line 3, it really shouldn't be anything that far up .

Post the first 10 lines of E#vlar.d so that we can determine the problem. A quick look is that you tried to use a condition in a place that it shouldn't be, but let's figure it out.

Here is the first ten lines

BEGIN E#Vlar

~NumTimesTalkedTo(0)~ THEN BEGIN FirstMeeting
SAY ~Hello. What is it do you wish to gain by speaking to me?~
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~I am looking for some competant fighters that are not some goody two-shoes wannabe adventurer that I seem to constantly find aroung this city~ GOTO PleasedResponse
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Um...I don't know?~ GOTO Intimidate
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Uggh! I wanted some information, but instead I get your horrendesly rank breath.~ GOTO Engraged

[NiGHTMARE]

You need an IF before ~NumTimesTalkedTo(0)~ .

[Andyr]

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN GoAway
SAY ~Yeah. You do that then. And the next time you talk to me, have something useful to say.~ EXIT
END

Should be:

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN GoAway
SAY ~Yeah. You do that then. And the next time you talk to me, have something useful to say.~
IF ~~ TNEN EXIT
END

Same with the GoAway2 block. Hope this helps!

[NiGHTMARE]

In Andyr's solution, that should be THEN on the third line, not TNEN . But then it is 23:44 here .

[MAJORLY OFF-TOPIC]

is there anything you don't know

Heh, quite a few things actually. Off the top of my head:

- Any language besides English, though I can do a few basic things such as 1-10, "yes", "no", "left", "right", etc in French and German.

- Any form of programming more advanced than BASIC, though learning how to script in the Infinity Engine and certain other games allegedly helps teach you the basics of certain "real" programming languages such as C++.

- Almost any scientific forumalas, e.g. E=MC2, and anything maths related which is more advanced than working out percentages and angles.

- The solution to problems related to real world war and famine.

- Very much about the other D&D settings besides the Forgotten Realms and Planescape. Greyhawk and Kara-Tur in particular are almost a complete mystery to me.

- Whether there truly are any major global conspiracies, though the chances of there being none whatsoever seem pretty slim.

- Whether there definitely is life on other worlds, though I enjoy pointing out to people that if an ifinitesimal number of other planets exist, the chance of this being the only planet with life is infintesimally small.

- How to travel forwards or backwards in time, though I know how you could speed up or slow down the passage of time*

- What happens to us when we die and whether there's a god, though just like everyone else I have my theories (or beliefs for anyone religious).


* Get a couple of watches that measure milliseconds, and syncronize them perfectly, and I do mean perfectly. Now give one to a friend, and take the other on an international flight and back. Your watches are guaranteed to be slightly out of sync, because gravity slows down the passage of time, and you've just been subject to less gravity than normal.

Now imagine if you could orbit extremely close to a black hole without getting sucked in and crushed into something incredibly small, what would seem like mere seconds to you could be minutes, days, weeks or maybe even years to people back on earth....

[Andyr]

Yeh... What NiGHTMARE said.

[crazyhybrid9999]

Thanks guys

@Nightmare so all we have to do to travel (at least forwards) in time is to submit our selfs to extreme gravity.

[Andyr]

Any large acceleration would do. But, on topic, did you get it working?

[crazyhybrid9999]

Strange parse error. WeiDu has some problems with line 82 which is a simple END command. Here is the script block. Line 82 is the very last line

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN GiveName
SAY ~My name is Vlar.~
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~My name is <CHARNAMR>. Would you like to join my group~ GOTO 

DisatisifiedResponse
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Vlar. Ha ha ha ha ha. What a stupid name. 

Ha ha ha. Vlar. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Stupid Vlar. Ha ha ha ha.~ GOTO 

Enraged
IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Well, nice meeting you Vlar. Got to go. Bye.~ GoAway 
END

[Andyr]

You need a GOTO GoAway.

[Seifer]

For whatever ot may be worth Crazy, people who have been here ages still make silly mistakes, like me.

All part of the learning curve =)

[crazyhybrid9999]

SUCCESS !!!!!! Finally, after so many errors and bugs i got to finally install successful. now to test if it works in game thanks guys.

[Andyr]

Well done, and good luck.

[crazyhybrid9999]

I have a very strange problem. When ever I install the mod, It says I did it successfully but it also shows that it had an Error loading e#ar0406.bcs yet it says it is installed successfully. when I try to go to where he is supposed to be hes not there. I can't figure out the problem.
