Runtime error at line (-10) [solved]

[AnasAbdin]

I got this error message and I have no idea what's causing it 

Runtime error: Function still open, missing }    |     GlobalScript.asc     |    line -10

...heh! Found the effin bracket 

[Slasher]

Good

it also pays to save your game very often then you know instinctively your last scripting movements should an error occur

[AnasAbdin]

Thanks mate 
That's exactly how I figured it out.

How was it possible anyway? First, it sais "runtime error" - did it occur when game was run as opposed to compilation? If it did, then how did it compile at first place.
Second: line -10?

Can you give more info on how did this error occur? I think there might be something wrong with AGS.

[Cassiebsg]

I often encounter "-" lines... assumed that's AGS way of saying that it's not sure which script line is the cause?
Can't remember in which occasions I often get that though, sorry.

[AnasAbdin]

CW: I will mimic the same conditions to produce the same error and get back to you with this asap.

[AnasAbdin]

Thanks Cassiebsg  for the note, and sorry for the double post 
CW, here's exactly what I just did now:

I undid the addition of the bracket } which solved this topic. Then Ran the project (F5) and got exactly the same error:







Then:

From memory, AGS will classify an error as a runtime error if it doesn't have a line number associated with it. Presumably, this means it got to the end of the input stream without finding '}'.

AnasAbdin, I think what would be useful here is to know where the bracket was missing, e.g. from the first function in GlobalScript (and was it the bracket containing the whole function or an internal bracket?), the last function, somewhere in the header, or what.

Yes, this is what I wanted to know .

[MiteWiseacreLives!]

I get those negative line errors when I forget a closing bracket at the bottom of a script. But get Anas' story none-the-less

[AnasAbdin]

ok sorry about that.
The bracket was missing from the last function in the Global.asc

The structure of the function is like this:

Code: ags

function pyramid_bgo_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
		while ( ... )
		{
			...
			...
			if ( ... )
			{
				...
			}
			else
			{
				if ( ... )
				{
					...
				}
				else
				{
					...
					return;
				}
			}
		}
		...
		...
}  // <-- this was the forgotten bracket & the final line in the script

[Crimson Wizard]

Okay, thank you, I could reproduce by putting this in the end of the script:

void F()
{

I will open a new issue, because the error message should be fixed.

[AnasAbdin]

Thanks Crimson really appreciate it
