Common Scripting Errors – Category

Introduction

Scripting in Operation Flashpoint can generate some errors here and there, it should be considered that all error messages that show up in white lettering across the top of the screen in game are scripting related.

Errors to be Added

Generic Error in Expression ( providing operators with incorrect operand types )

Invalid number in expression ( incomplete / malformed expression )

Type ... Expected Nothing ( incomplete statement / expression only )

Error Unknown Operator '..' ( OFP has attempted to parse an expression, but cannot find the operator specified. Generally happens when new scripting commands are run under old versions, or when an uninitialised variable is converted to a string. Example: call format ["a = %1", b] runs 'a = scalar bool array ...'. OFP interpretes 'scalar' as an uninitialised variable, then 'bool' as an operator)
