Hey, totally new to coding. Never even looked at it before :).. Anyone in here around 14??
Anyways on to my question.
Ok I am using A Step BYOND and just taking stuff out of it for a new game. Trying to learn whats what. Well when I compile(I'm about 1/3 of the way done with it) I have 2 errors both saying the same thing: error: bad argument definition.
Not sure what this means, I have looked around and can't find a thing. Does anyone know of a page to where I could find out what all the different errors are and how to fix them, or what they mean?
Thanx for any help.

You need to learn about indenting in BYOND: http://www.deadron.com/Admin/ BYOND_FAQ.html#indentation-errors Well you are at it, you will save a huge amount of time reading through the FAQ's newbie section (if you haven't already): http://www.deadron.com/Admin/BYOND_FAQ.html#newbie-problems | |
Which is line 62, and which is line 109? LoL, Trying to :P Just typing the code from A Step atm, but ill fix it up into my own and (hopefully better) version. line 62 is: if (istype(O, /mob/pc)) ObjectDropped(0) line 109 is: return | |

Ok, thanx for your support guys :) here is the problem.. To the untrained eye it isn't readily apparent. But, all the same, it is there. =) What you are doing is making obj/'zero', not obj/'oh'. That is an illegal variable name. You'd want the O as in the letter, not the zero. | |

First off, Welcome to the BYOND community! I'm sure you'll enjoy your time here. Just don't get on LexyBitch's bad side o.O
Now.. About your code... To find out where the culprit is, double click on the error message at the bottom. That should highlight the line that has an error. After you do that, copy and paste the whole bit of code (starting with mob/verb, etc whatever :P) into this Forum, and mark which line is erroneus, then we can answer you :)
