Hello fellow programmers, I'm having a problem with my game. Whenever I compile it, I get an error message saying PARSER ERROR and UNDEFINED PARSER ERROR. What this means I have no idea, the only piece in my code with parsers is my function, but I believe that my function is alright. Here is my code if you're interested:



Do you guys see any problems with the code? Because i sure don't.. Please help me and thanks in advance.

It compiles fine here with version 7.4. Are you running this version also?

Try saving the exe without running it, then run it also make sure the game isn't already up.

@Benjamin: Yepp, it's version 7.4

@HL Dude: That was the problem, the game was running in the background after the last run. Ending the process fixed the problem. Thanks.

Agreed! I discovered that problem myself just yesterday; same exact thing.



Your error is my treasure. =^--^=

Even though you figured it out, I thought I would post this. The same thing happened to me a few times, and my program WASN'T running. My problem was that the program was being compiled in my Dropbox folder, and the Dropbox program was accessing it.

Dropbox is a program advertised on these forums somewhere that creates online backups of your stuff, so I thought it would be a good idea to keep a project there, but you run into problems when compiling sometimes.

Yeah, there's a similar issue with the new editor as well.
It doesn't warn you about certain things that the old one did; for example I tried rewriting a small project several times because it would suddenly just freeze up and state the highly generic error message

It eventually turned out that this was because I was trying to name a constant null, which is apparently a reserved word.
The old IDE told us so, so why not the new one?
And isn't it the compiler which discovers this anyway?
