missing bracket

[pvt. partz 248]

Hi all

I am getting a missing bracket error but I'm not seeing my error. Can I get a second look please?

 

value="[[[[""arifle_MX_SW_Black_F"",""arifle_MX_SW_Black_Hamr_pointer_F""],[1,1]],[[""30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer"",""APERSMine_Range_Mag"",""APERSTripMine_Wire_Mag"",[12,1,4,1]],[[""optic_DMS"",""Laserdesignator_01_khk_F"",""optic_LRPS""],[1,1,1,1]],[[],[]]],false]";

 

Thanks a lot.

Looks like there's an extra bracket at the beginning - should be three, not four?

@Harzach is right.  Tip:  Drop that line of code into NotePad++, and put your cursor next to a bracket.  The bracket is highlighted and its other bracket in the pair of open/close brackets is also highlighted.  Keep doing that until you find a bracke that is not highlighted, and then you have found the bracket that is not part of a pair.

Yup, N++ makes it easy to break down those bracket-filled lines for error-checking. There are also a few SQF plugins/language XMLs you can install that will do syntax highlighting/autocomplete/etc. Very handy stuff.

If you really want to step up your game take a look into poseidon.

The features are nuts.

Can't beat it for arma specific scripting.

For some reason, I thought Poseidon was payware. Thanks, @Grumpy Old Man!

 

*edit* - Ah, it is payware. Still, probably worth it.

It's actually sublime text, which is free for use.

You just get a reminder if you want to purchase it upon continued use, once in a while at a very low frequency. Barely notice it.

Don't ever answer that requester saying you will pay for it. It is quite expensive!

What is this?

 

 8:31:28 Reading cached action map data
 8:31:33 Extreme texture size (32767x65535)
 8:31:33 Texture init failed.

 

found it buried in the .rpt

Are you trying to put some adult HD textures on a billboard?

How (after 5+ years) did I never pick up on this??

Who me?!? but no. I have been adding a lot of tracks/halodrops/some fastropes etc but all from Arma default. The only mod I am using is GMT's Cessna planes. (oversized texture maybe?)

 

and back to my OP:

 

I did find that I had too many brackets as per the solutions given BUT, after removing it, I am getting other errors now which makes me think that since I didn't get a match when I tried johnnyboys method, I am questioning whether I might NEED another bracket. Here are the errors:

 

 9:38:22 Error in expression <],[["FirstAidKit",[1,1]],[[],[]]],false]>
 9:38:22   Error position: <>
 9:38:22   Error Missing ]
 9:38:22 Error in expression <],[["FirstAidKit",[1,1]],[[],[]]],false]>
 9:38:22   Error position: <>
 9:38:22   Error Missing ]
 9:38:22 Error in expression <"optic_LRPS"],[1,1,1,1]],[[],[]]],false]>
 9:38:22   Error position: <>
 9:38:22   Error Missing ]
 9:38:22 Error in expression <"optic_LRPS"],[1,1,1,1]],[[],[]]],false]>
 9:38:22   Error position: <>
 9:38:22   Error Missing ]

 

Here is the mission.sqm and I really appreciate the help

Just because every bracket has a mate, doesn't mean you have formatted a call properly.  You could try removing items, triggers, units, one-by-one until the error goes away.  You will then know which object or trigger or whatever is causing it.   Process of elimination.  Good luck.

Sometimes, context is everything. You want to add a specific cargo loadout to a vehicle. I'm not sure where you got the process you are using, but try simply pasting this into the init field of the vehicle:

[this, [[ 
[[],[]], 
[["30Rnd_45ACP_Mag_SMG_01","30Rnd_9x21_Mag"],[6,6]], 
[["FirstAidKit","optic_Aco","optic_ACO_grn","O_NVGoggles_hex_F"],[6,3,3,3]], 
[[],[]] 
],false]] call bis_fnc_initAmmoBox;
