I messed up when trying out double click code from topic 12190.0.  When I testet the game, I got the error: "Unable to open custom exe'Compiled\Testgame.exe. Global script, line 9: A blocking function was called before the first room has been loaded."

So I deleted every double click code line in the main global script, the script header, I deleted even the  hotspots. But I still get the message.

EDIT
Thank you for your suggestion, Akatosh and KrisMUC, but there is nothing in there. Game-Start is empty.
As I got error messages, I deleted the code in the game-start section and put everything  in On-mouse-click. and an' int doubleclick' on top of the global script. Now everything is deleted, also in the On-mouse-click-section. I have other code in Rep-exec, but nothing I know of with 'doubleclick'. I think I messed eround too much with the code. 

Maybe, as a noob at scripting with glased over eyes, I should ask for advice about my code in the forum, before trying stupid things.

Hallo, his is my first post.

I have no experience with scripting and please excuse my lack of experience with wrighting english too.

I made a script about cursors(see far below), but cannot test or save my game because of following error message: There was an error compiling your script. The problem was: In ‘Global script ‘
Error (line 36): Nested functions not supported (you may have forgotten a closing brace).

I am not aware, that I changed anything in this default script, and I do not see something wrong:

#sectionstart on_key_press  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
Line 36:  function on_key_press(int keycode) // called when a key is pressed. keycode holds the key's ASCII code
  {
  if (IsGamePaused()==1) keycode=0; // game paused, so don't react to keypresses
  if (keycode==17) QuitGame(1); // Ctrl-Q
  if (keycode==363) SaveGameDialog(); // F5
  if (keycode==365) RestoreGameDialog(); // F7
  if (keycode==367) RestartGame(); // F9
  if (keycode==434) SaveScreenShot("scrnshot.pcx");  // F12
  if (keycode==9) InventoryScreen(); // Tab, show inventory
  if (keycode==19) Debug(0,0); // Ctrl-S, give all inventory
  if (keycode==22) Debug(1,0); // Ctrl-V, version
  if (keycode==1) Debug(2,0); // Ctrl-A, show walkable areas
  if (keycode==24) Debug(3,0); // Ctrl-X, teleport to room
  }
#sectionend on_key_press  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

Maybe I can delete the whole thing, as I do not use it?

The script I wanted to test should change the mouse.Mode automatically to eModeInteract, wenn over a hotspot, etc. and animate with view INTER, loop 0. When I only change the curor mode automatically, the animation does not work any more. So I must tell the engine in a script, to animate.
I wrote one inspired from a respons from Ashen to a question about animating a cursor wenn over one specific hotspot. Mine is meant to work in all the rooms and also on regions. On regions I want to change the cursor graphic to still another one, also animating, but for a beginning I prefer to try this script first., because I do not know yet where to put the region thing with the Region.GetAtRoomXY …. function in the script. I am sorry, it all looks very complicated to me.

Code:

#sectionstart repeatedly_execute  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE{
  // put anything you want to happen every game cycle here

int cursorset;
function repeatedly_execute(){
if(GetLocationType(mouse.x, mouse.y)==eLocationNothing)
  if(cursorset==0){
mouse.Mode=eModeWalkto;
cursorset=1;
}
else{
  if(cursorset==1){
    mouse.Mode=eModeInteract;
    Mouse.ChangeModeView(eModeInteract,INTER);
   
cursorset=0;
}
}


Maybe I should use global integers here, but I have no clue how to do that.

If anyone with experience would tell me if there is something wrong with what I have written and explain it to me, I would be gratefull.
