How to get old alpha scripts to work in the beta?

[total 1]

Hello,

I worked pretty much with Arma 3 editor in early Alpha and used old and new scripts (Basic skills). What does it take to get these scripts to work in beta? I know that many of these are found in newer versions, but not all.

I get a ton of error messages such as: "Error Type Any, expected String" and "Missing ; @ line 100" ect. (The Spawn system does't work anymore, if this is a known problem)

1) Why doesn't these scripts work in beta?

2) Is there a way to read all the error messages in full version? Debugging mode?

3) Tips to get old scripts to work in Beta?

Without seeing the scripts there's not really any quick answer. Maybe post some?

To find your error log Start -> Run -> %localappdata%\ArmA 3 then open the most recent *.rpt file.

I think the problem is in the modified version of an outdated =BTC= Revive (I think it is the last Alpha version). I want to continue to use this version. - I did found this modified =BTC=Revive/respawn script in a forum and it worked perfect in the Alpha.

According to my error log it is this that is the problem, but I have no idea where the problem lies:

Error in expression <;};

} foreach (_gear select 7);
{_unit removeItemFromPrimaryWeapon _x} foreach >
 Error position: <removeItemFromPrimaryWeapon _x} foreach >
 Error Missing ;
Error in expression <;};

} foreach (_gear select 7);
{_unit removeItemFromPrimaryWeapon _x} foreach >
 Error position: <removeItemFromPrimaryWeapon _x} foreach >
 Error Missing ;
Error in expression <if (BTC_respawn_gear == 1) then {player addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", BTC_fnc>
 Error position: <addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", BTC_fnc>
 Error Type Any, expected String

I really hope one can solve my problem :) Thank you in advance for your help anyway :)

Can't see any glaring errors with that error message, but there is several new versions of that script out now, including Beta fixed and fixes specifically about respawn gear. You should probably upgrade to that version.
