omg wow

[Erik]

How can it be so easy to get errors?
I add a single building to my conyard and it tells me "couldnt find unittype conyard". I then remove it by commenting it out and its still bugged... wtf?

Edit: added the file i changed

[Argh]

Try this.

[Erik]

what exactly changed?

Also it gives me the exact same error no matter which one i use.

[Argh]

Hmm. That didn't fix it? Remove the "bemoth" entry from the build list.

[Erik]

No nothing helps D:
This is really annoying

[Argh]

If nothing helps, then you have a basic problem elsewhere. You don't have any sounds or CEGs listed, so it's probably the script, a bad reference to the model file, etc.

Do you get any error messages in the Infolog, telling you what's wrong?

[smoth]

does your conyard have a valid script?

does it have a valid model?

objectName = "modelname.S3O",

[Erik]

No the infolog is as informative as always, its pits out random pieces of information and the usual "Couldnt find unittype conyard"

The big Problem i have here is that everythign worked fine, the model showed up, i even could build. Then i added code for the powerplant, added it to the buildlist and BAM nothing works anymore. Pretty crazy.

Oops, that's my fault, actually. Here, try this.

[Erik]

Thanks that works, yet it doesnt tell me what was wrong or how to read those error messages.

[Argh]

Basically, you need to search for the word "error" in the Infolog, and track it down.

[ 0] Error parsing units/conyard.lua: error = 3, units/conyard.lua, [string "units/conyard.lua"]:62: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 2) near 'oooo'

Since you're using Lua UnitDefs, any syntax errors in the Lua will be sent back to you. This was basically telling us that the Lua UnitDef parser couldn't handle the yardmap line correctly, because it's supposed to use a special syntax- the characters like 'o' are a leftover from OTA, and have to be presented in a special way.

One question, for the Lua UnitDef folks: is "ooo ooo" read correctly, whitespaces removed? Or does that cause a bork? If so, that should probably be fixed...

[lurker]

This was basically telling us that the Lua UnitDef parser couldn't handle the yardmap line correctly

I'm going to reword the rest of your explanation, because I find it confusing. It couldn't read the yardmap line because a yardmap is a string of text, and it wasn't inside of [[]].
