it still doesnt make sense why you use {VARIABLE x {X}} instead of x={X}

they really do seem the same

ill go stare at my code and see why it blows up, but i dont know how it could work for you and not me unless we have different versions

In the first, 'x' is a variable; in the second it is a key. Would you write:

Code: Select all

[event]
name=moveto
x=1
y=20
 [filter]
 x=$x
 y=$y
 [/filter]
[/event]

to filter on (1,20)?
For further reference you should read PreprocessorRef, SyntaxWML, and VariablesWML.

i know you wouldnt write code like that but i dont see where you were going with that

i think i know what might be blowing up, ill go try it out

ok yeah code is just not going to work
im giving up now
but wondering, why did you put the location for the unit to appear at outside of the unit tag?

I see why, I'll edit it to get better phrasing.

now it especially doesnt matter because the game has some nasty bug where it isnt accepting cfgs anymore

wait, does the game start? I don't see how it would start without accepting .cfgs but what was the error message?

i know some other people who had this bug
basically, the game just starts rejecting all cfgs
no clue why
