According to my book thats right. I found that sometimes the "##" don't highlight the actual problem, its just in this area somewhere. Saying that, I believe that Chapter 4 has lots of errors. Do you have the closed "};" at the end of that codeblock btw?

Try having a search through the rest of the forum, maybe this error has been found before.

It would be great to have a complete list of all errors found so far though.

I replaced my files with the ones on the cd and it worked fine. i suspect now that maybe the gameTSCtrl function (or whatever) was missing where it was supposed to be. so when it was called the engine couldnt find it.

I could be wrong. im still new to all this stuff.

But i was wondering, is there a list of all the variables and funcitons that the engine calls for?

There is alot of info in the back of the book. I have looked up a couple of commands back there. I have real trouble finding out which are commands and which are just cleverly named objects and so forth.

Oddly enough, I was expecting alot of issues with Chapter 4 as I have been reading these forums, and managed to troubleshoot it myself and it worked pretty effortlessly. I did compare vs the code on the CD which helped, some of it was radically different though. I can't say I understand it all, but I guess that comes with time and more scripting. :)
