Could somebody make a list of all the things that could be effected by compressing a single-command-per-line program into one constantly using colons, becuase I tried it with an already made program but it just won't work anymore, it keeps on coming up with nesting error messages. The only things I've found to be affected are functions and line labels with which my program uses neither. I think a list would also be useful to other people doing the same thing. My failing source code is attached(I know it's a bit strange at places and doesn't fit into 20 lines but I'm working on it!)

Biggest thing is differences in IF commands

you can either have

IF v=1
command1
command2
command3
ENDIF

or

IF v=1 THEN command1 : command2 : command3

i.e. if you use the 'THEN' command, then all commands till then end of the line are run if condition is true, with no ENDIF needed

Sync doesn't like being on the same line as anything else, neither does cls. That's all I've come across so far, apart from the if..then thing.

Labels need to be the first thing on the line or they won't work.

yes sync & cls mess up if you do this:

code:code:code:sync:code

but do this:

code : code : code : sync : code

also declaring types I had touble with. I found they like to be at beginning of a line and the elements shouldn't have spaces eg:

type enemy:x:y:z:health:endtype : code : code .....

FIXED IT!!! It was that If then thing, just replaced it with if...endif, sync and cls actually don't matter on DBC, I had no trouble with them.
