Gettng Error message

[nordin dk 0]

The message Iget (on startup) is

'count |#|= 0': Error Reserved variable in expression

I take it the error is found somewhere in my timer or score sripts, but I'm not sure where to look.

What could be causing this?

Are you trying to use "count" as a variable name? That would cause an error, because "count" is a reserved word.

Other causes for errors could be: using "=" instead of "==" as a comparison operator, omitting a variable name in a statement that should be "varName command".

Here's my score.sqs

_count = 0

_max = 0

_TmpArray = PlayersList

_list = ""

#Start

?(count _TmpArray == 0): Goto "End"

?(Score (_TmpArray select _count) >= _max): _cursor = _count

?(Score (_TmpArray select _count) >= _max): _max = Score (_TmpArray select _count)

_count = _count + 1

?(_count < (count _TmpArray)-1): Goto "Start"

_score = Score (_TmpArray select _cursor)

_name = Name (_TmpArray select _cursor)

_list = _list + format["%1 %2\n", _score, _name]

_TmpArray = _TmpArray - [_TmpArray select _cursor]

_count = 0

_max = 0

?(count _TmpArray == 0): Goto "End"

Goto "Start"

#End

_msg = format["Game Over!\nScore:"]

titletext [format["%1\n%2", _msg, _list], "PLAIN"]

And this is my timer.sqs

count = 0

#Start

~1

_count = _count + 1

?(_count >= Param1): TimeUp = True

Goto "Start"

These have been taken from the editing center IIRC.

I haven't taken the effort to learn the scripting language, so it takes me forever to try and figure out what is wrong.

Should I change the _count variable to another name, like "mycount" ??

It's the first line in timer.sqs: "count = 0". I guess it should read "_count = 0"?

right, and the message tells you that "count" is a

reserved variable (even an operation)

Thank you,

That took care of the error-message. Now I just need to tweak it a little bit.
