Compile Error

There was an error compiling your script. The problem was in 'Global script':



Error (line 66): Expected value after '='



Do you want to fix the script now? (Your game has not been saved).

Code: ags

#define SCROLL_SPEED 3
#define SCROLL_EDGE_LEFT 5
#define SCROLL_EDGE_RIGHT 5
#define SCROLL_EDGE_TOP 20
#define SCROLL_EDGE_BOTTOM 5

The code has to be pasted between these two braces. It's not enough to paste the code between the sectionstart and sectionend lines.
The way you have it now the code is outside of any function which cannot be done.

Oh I see .

[Candle]

Thank you for the code help strazer ...

[strazer]

Glad I could help.

Just a thought, you may want to declare it outside of rep_ex (unless it's only called within rep_ex) (the int newvpx; part) and then just set its value in rep_ex.  Otherwise it only exists inside of rep_ex.  Also, the reason "[putting] the code...outside of any function...cannot be done" is that function calls aren't processed outside of other functions (so the function call isn't replaced by the return value).  So as long as it was inside a function it would work.  Which in this case rep_ex is the function needed...
