I’m making a trading game and I don’t want it to be like all the other trading games. When I play other trading games I notice that a lot of people get ripped off. So in my game I want to make a trading verb.
I made the code but I’m getting a few errors and I have no idea what to do
This is my code:
note: for a better view copy and paste it into a [byond code file.]
note: Tabs are kind of screwed up when i post.
mob/verb
Trade(mob/m in view(usr),F as file) //the tradeing verb
switch(alert(m,"[usr] want to trade with you, do you?","**trading**","Yes","No"))
if("Yes")
input(m,"What will you like to trade for the file [usr] is giving you? ") in list ("Send File","Dont Send Anything"))
if("Send File")
(FF as file)
input(m,"[usr] is offering you the file: [F] do you want to trade your [FF] file for [usr]'s [F] file?","**trading**","Yes","No"))
if("Yes")
input(usr,"[m] is offering you the file: [FF]. Do you want to trade your [F] file for [usr]'s [F] file?","**trading**","Yes","No"))
if("Yes")
alert(m,"Trade is complete")
alert(usr,"Trade is complete")
m<<ftp(F)
usr<<ftp(FF)
if("No")
alert(m,"[usr] had declined the trade")
if("Dont Send Anything")
alert(m,"[m] You Must send a file in order to trade")
alert(usr,"[m] does not want to send you a file")
if("No")
alert(usr,"[m] declined the file","**File Declined**")
I’m getting the following errors:
loading Title Page Demo.dme
Main.dm:5:error: ): expected }
Main.dm:5:error: location of top-most unmatched {
Main.dm:5:error: ): expected }
Main.dm:4:error: location of top-most unmatched {
Title Page Demo.dmb - 9 errors, 0 warnings (double-click on an error to jump to it)
what do these errors mean and what can I do about it.
-Please don’t copy my code for your game-

you put [dm] in from of the code and [/dm] at the end of it... and it makes it nice and neat showing like in the dreammaker window
EX- mob/verb mob/verb Hello() src << "Hello" see tge difference? if you dont do "Reply With Quote" and you will see the tags and stuff | |

i fixed some of the errors
code looks like this: mob/verb now i old have an error left that says Main.dm:3:error: ,: expected } | |
You've used curly braces {like this} to surround the stuff in your alert, instead of round parentheses (like this). Look carefully, there's a difference. =)

yes but when i do use the ( ) i get more errors and when i put the { } brackets I only get one error.

Can Anyone help? | |

ok mob/verb Now im getting the following errors: Yeah, I think that I can. When you get errors like "error: ): expected }, error: location of top-most unmatched {". Those errors usually meen that you have ")" or "(" when you don't need it. In the lines**** input(m,"What will you like to trade for the file [usr] is giving you? ") in list ("Send File","Dont Send Anything")) **** You don't need the extra ) at the end of the line. You usually need )) two of them when you do something like**** switch(input("Say Hello?") in list ("Yes", "No"))**** .. Yeah I'm probably making no sense what so ever.. but yeah on your input lines dont add that extra ), you dont need it =\ | |
