Fatal Syntax Error [Problem likely linked to operating system]

[Ethan D]

The following syntax error will crash AGS WHILE editing. (I've included all the information I have so some may be irrelevant.)

Code: ags

Character* characterpointer
characterpointer = cCharacter;

If you try to reference the pointer you made on the first line without having a semicolon there as it should be the editor will crash the moment you hit the period key after referencing it.

This happens in any local or global script.

Here is the error report that was generated:

You haven't made mention of your AGS version. I'm running AGS 3.2.2 Beta (from the SVN) on Windows 7 and can't reproduce this.

[Ethan D]

I'm running version 3.2.0

Well, I guess the problem has been fixed then!

Thanks monkey.

I tried it. The editor didn't crash and when I tested it the only thing that happened was the editor bitching at me for not putting a semi-colon at the end of the line. Maybe AGS just had a sudden cardiac arrest?

AGS 3.2.1 on Windows XP SP2.

edit: dammit, you ninja'd me. So this problem only occurred once / you couldn't repeat it?

[Ethan D]

I replicated it many times with mine.  It's most likely the version I would think.

I also have 3.2.0 and still can't replicate this error.
