combat.dm:52:error::invalid expression

Synthetic Dreams.dmb - 1 error, 0 warnings (double-click on an error to jump to it)

Alright, i fixed the normal errors, but all thats left is:

M << "<font color=white>Fight!"
                        M << "<font color=white>Click on the monster you wish to attack to start"
                        var/P = pick(1,2,3,4,5,6)
                        switch(P)

I don't quite understand what your trying to do here, could you repost that with closed html tags and dm tags.

EDIT: I think I see what your doing here. The variable move is not defined under mob/var, but instead under a tree farther indented(perhaps mob/player, who knows), and the missing expression is because your if(L.move=, istead of if(L.move==

Hope that helps.

the html tags made it white, so i made sure they didn't work. And what do you mean dm tags? -Has never gotten that-

I'm trying to make it so when your in a party you spawn next to the leader rather then under, or over him/her.

The reason it looks like that is because i had to have the multiple monsters also.

Reread my first post, I edited it with an answer. And dm tabs go like so: <> with dm inside, and to close <> with /dm inside. they format the code so it doesnt wrap around, and so that html doesnt effect the code.

I see, thats what i figured at first but it never worked?

Im thinking that bold tag before line 52 is messing something up.

edit: Your indentation gets a little screwy in what you post at what im guessing is somewhere around line 50, you might want to look at that as well.

I fixed all the errors, but it doesn't even work. Strange, no, just shows you why i don't code.

Fixing syntax errors and getting source code to compile is the easy part. Finding and solving logic errors is much worse.
