[ElimiNator]

I made a scenario, and 3 units attack you when you destroy them 4 more come if you survive that then you win, But it they destroy your main unit (Like a castle) you lose. And it wont work? Help!

Here is the scenario script

Well, its hard without the files, but here's POSSIBILITIES (just from looking at it quickly, no in depth reading):

-You tried to comment out a line withg <!-- --> This is HTML/XML only, and lau comments with --. That's all you need, and may be the problem. Not sure how lau likes seeing <! (the rest will end up commented out though).
-The map name may be wrong
-Ditto for the tileset, though this is most likely NOT the problem
-You disabled ai number 3 (player 4), who does not exist.
-Its possible you forgot to make the .lng file or didn't name it right
-possible case problems (map, scenario name, not in folder, folder titled wrong, lng titled wrong, etc;)
-You tried to set player 3 (this is actually 4 in normal terms) as the winner, player 3 does not exist.
-A unit may not exist.

Not sure though, since I don't have time to look more carefully, and don't know the files you are using.

Do you get an error message??? What does it say? Are you using glest 3.2.x?

[ElimiNator]

Yes I am using glest 3.2.x

It is the right map and tileset.

Here is the error, Couldn't process event: Error loading lua code: Syntax error: [string "unitDied"]:32: 'end' expected (to close 'function' at line 1) near '<eof>'
Segmentation fault

and here is the script again with the stuff you said fixed.

[hailstone]

I'm not an expert on Lua but from what I can see you aren't 'end'ing

Code: [Select]

--check for first village destroyed
         if lastDeadUnit()==ship1Unit then

[Omega]

Yes, the whole if statement is blank!

The message tells you exactly where to look (in the unit died section).

Code: [Select]

if lastDeadUnit()==ship1Unit then
   <perform script here>
end


[hailstone]

To be picky it's not really blank it just doesn't end, whether the intention was to encapsulate the rest of the script or not. Hence the error " 'end' expected ".

[ElimiNator]

         --check for first village destroyed
         if lastDeadUnit()==ship1Unit then

         for i=1, 1 do
            createUnit('cargo_ship', 2, startLocation(1))
                 ship2Unit= lastCreatedUnit()
            givePositionCommand(ship2Unit(), 'attack', startLocation(2))   
            end

         for i=1, 3 do
            createUnit('cargo_ship', 2, startLocation(1))
            givePositionCommand(lastCreatedUnit(), 'attack', startLocation(2))   
            end

It ends

[hailstone]

each control block needs its own end, therefore it would be something like.

Code: [Select]

         --check for first village destroyed
         if lastDeadUnit()==ship1Unit then
             for i=1, 1 do
                 createUnit('cargo_ship', 2, startLocation(1))
                 ship2Unit= lastCreatedUnit()
                 givePositionCommand(ship2Unit(), 'attack', startLocation(2))   
            end

            for i=1, 3 do
                createUnit('cargo_ship', 2, startLocation(1))
                givePositionCommand(lastCreatedUnit(), 'attack', startLocation(2))   
            end
        end

Ok thanks
