I'm gettin' fed up with this I put in:

for (var/A = 0;A <= length(Players);A++)

and they keep telling me "missing comma ',' or right-paren ') and I dunno what to do! Also what does "expected end of sentence" mean?And if I put in:

for (var/A = 0;A <= length(Players);A++)

what do I do when they tell me "The Journey of Inuyasha.dm:330:error: ): expected }" ? Please some1 answer my question!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, Im pretty sure that an error before the for() is confusing the compiler. Take a look at the surrounding lines and see if anything is wrong. If not post the lines above it and we should be able to help.

this is what I have:

usr.XLoc = usr.x
usr.YLoc = usr.y
usr.ZLoc = usr.z
usr.BattleNumber = BattleCount
usr.Move(locate(Location.x - 1, Location.y, Location.z))
usr.client.lazy_eye = 5
usr.icon_state = "Battle Stance"
step(usr, EAST)
usr.dir = WEST
if (Mons1)
Mons1.BattleNumber = BattleCount
Mons1.Move(locate(usr.x - 4, usr.y, usr.z))
if (Mons2)
Mons2.BattleNumber = BattleCount
Mons2.Move(locate(usr.x - 4, usr.y + 1, usr.z))
if (Mons3)
Mons3.BattleNumber = BattleCount
Mons3.Move(locate(usr.x - 4, usr.y - 1, usr.z))



var/list/TurnOrder = new()
var/list/Players = new()
for(var/mob/M in world)
if (M.BattleNumber == BattleCount)
Players += M
var/NextPlayer
var/Agi
do
for (var/A = 0;A <= length(Players);A++)
Agi = 0
for(var/mob/M in Players)
if (M.Agility > Agi)
NextPlayer = M
Agi = M.Agility
else if (M.Agility == Agi)
if (rand(0,1))
NextPlayer = M
TurnOrder += NextPlayer
Players -= NextPlayer
PlayerCount ++
while (length(Players) > 0)

I could understand if it's confused lol but I need help badly or my game won't work.

It really makes no difference which one you use.

I don't see the problem there -- could you indicate which line the compiler reports a problem for? If you aren't getting line numbers, in your Build->Preferences for... screen, check the "Generate debugging information" checkbox.

That line does not appear to be the problem -- I typed in directly and compiled it without problem.

it says mine is wrong...is there a way the compiler can fix it by itself?

No. Learning how to diagnose problems like this is painful, but a critical part of learning to program.

Also, learning how to provide the necessary information when asking for help is important...I can't help you because what you've shown doesn't give enough information.
