So I have the code for bluntstuffy's soul chests and I get an error when trying to change one simple thing. Here is the part of code that supposedly has an error:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

chest_anims()
{
     players = getplayers();
     if(players.size > 1)
          {
               chest_1_kills = 100;
          }
     else
          {
               chest_1_kills = 10;
          }
     chest_2_kills = 25; //this chest isnt used
     chest_3_kills = 45; //this chest isnt used
     chest_4_kills = 65; //this chest isnt used
     chest_5_kills = 90; //this chest isnt used
     chest_6_kills = 140; //this chest isnt used

The error I get is a bad syntax on the 'else' statement, but I dont see what's wrong with it. The entire script works perfectly if I remove the 'if' and 'else' statements but I need this change in my map. I've also tried changing the else statement above to:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

else if(players.size <= 1)

But then I get bad syntax on the whole 'else if' line.

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me

Not sure if it'll fix it but the brackets should be down one level so that they line up with the if and else statements.

shouldnt this :

players = getplayers();

be :

players = get_players();

And do you have the second parenthesis? the "}" to close the function?

Code Snippet

Plaintext

chest_anims()
{
     players = get_players();
     if(players.size > 1)
     {
               chest_1_kills = 100;
     }
     else
     {
               chest_1_kills = 10;
     }
     chest_2_kills = 25; //this chest isnt used
     chest_3_kills = 45; //this chest isnt used
     chest_4_kills = 65; //this chest isnt used
     chest_5_kills = 90; //this chest isnt used
     chest_6_kills = 140; //this chest isnt used 
} // HERE, not sure why that would throw the error on the else statement though?

or try this :

Code Snippet

Plaintext

chest_anims()
{
     players = get_players();
     chest_1_kills = 10;
     if(players.size > 1)
     {
               chest_1_kills = 100;
     }
     chest_2_kills = 25; //this chest isnt used
     chest_3_kills = 45; //this chest isnt used
     chest_4_kills = 65; //this chest isnt used
     chest_5_kills = 90; //this chest isnt used
     chest_6_kills = 140; //this chest isnt used 
}

not sure about the getplayers(); I have it the same way I do above in one of my other scripts and it works fine. And yeah I have the closing parenthesis its just farther down because this is only the first segment of the chest_anims() thread

You might not have seen my edit, try this

Code Snippet

Plaintext

chest_anims()
{
     players = get_players();
     chest_1_kills = 10;
     if(players.size > 1)
     {
               chest_1_kills = 100;
     }
     chest_2_kills = 25; //this chest isnt used
     chest_3_kills = 45; //this chest isnt used
     chest_4_kills = 65; //this chest isnt used
     chest_5_kills = 90; //this chest isnt used
     chest_6_kills = 140; //this chest isnt used

Otherwise, if you send your script over ill take a look. Its stuffys soul chests right?

also, can you show us a screenshot of the error cod is throwing?
