i'm getting an error saying
attacking.dm:39:error: mob: expected end of statement

my code is

mob/PunchingBag
icon = 'pbag.dmi'
base_event_cycle = 0
Health = 9999999.....
MaxHealth = 9999999999......

can someone tell me why i NEVER had this error before until now. i tried to delete it and got the same error on a different part of my code. i tied taking everything i've done on my game today and still got the error. could this be a bug in BYOND or what??

P.S i also got the error on a turf and procs.

Which is line 39, and do you actually have those periods in there?

Hmm.... termination errors, check the ends of your icon asignments, and variable assignments, that may be correct, but something above it may not be, if you did not terminate icon_state = "poop , you may get an error on the next line, check for quotation marks! I do it all the time!

i'm getting it on all of my turfs, mobs and procs but only one at a time. i checked my icon code and none of the " or ' are missing it must be something else

Now I'm confused. Did you use all of those periods in your code or just in your post?

i still really need help i can't do anything with my game with this error. i'm starting to think its a bug because i deleted the code i worked on today and still got an error. PLEASE help me!!

It's not a bug you forgot something in another part of your code.
In response to Nadrew
its not that. when i take the part of code with the error for intance

turf
grass
icon = 'grass.dmi'

i'm getting an error on this. when i take this out i get an error on the next turf or mob or proc.
In response to Alienman22774
That means it's in another part of your code.
In response to Alienman22774
It IS that. The error is trying to check lines that come after the problem, thinking they are something else, and misreading them. Every time you remove a piece of your code, it scans the next piece and finds the same problem because you are reading it wrong.
In response to Nadrew
but last night i didn't have any errors. i added some stuff today and got the error. when i saw it i took out everything i did today and still had the error

Don't bump your post.

I really don't think that belongs here.
