I am getting a series of error messages when I compile my code that indicates a token (in this case "as") that is present in some lines of my code. That token is not there. I have run into this problem before with the AppGameKit IDE, and the solution was to re-key or cut and paste the code back in place (often pasting into and back out of a plain text editor). This time nothing works; the compiler is reporting a large block of code as having the same non-existent token; my code won't compile. Help!

do you have a screenshot, line nr and source there?

may you can use remstart remend to hide blocks for the compiler to find the origin, or check mistake in writing.

Screenshot attached. As you can see, a number of variables contain the letters "as"; I tried changing those to something else, but it made no difference.

Last night I went to the document menu and set "Convert and Set to CR (Mac)" to the code (I'm working on a Mac). That cleared up the token error message, and then created new ones such as "function declaration without end function" All these error messages are bogus.

Have you recently updated to AppGameKit 2.0.21? And if so, did you do a fresh install either by removing the old version, or installing to a new location? Might be unrelated, but there have been a few posts of similar issues recently, all were resolved by doing a clean/fresh install... FWIW I always install any updates to a new path location (I just affix the version number on the end) - I currently have about 5 AppGameKit versions installed on my machine lol... I need to have a clean up

I don't know if I can install to a new location - I am running AppGameKit through Steam. Is there any way to do that?

try using
#option_explicit
once at top, i think this will help you

or maybe you have a mix of line breaks and the compiler misunderstand, i had once in past.

Or maybe it is the difintion of the x and y arrays causing the compiler to go wobbly. Try replacing:

x as integer[PlayerForce]

with

x as integer[] : x.length = PlayerForce

I tried the code changes suggested above, but no dice. I don't think the structure of the code is the issue here. At this point I was able to get the code to compile by converting carriage returns to"Convert and Set to CR (Mac)" , and adding an empty comment to the top of the document. But now the AppGameKit Player crashes immediately following the code compile.

I am at my wits end.

Very very weird! I included the other files so i had one main.agc and no other files.
I got a compiler error;
main.agc:445: error: Unexpected token "as"

Even if i commented out the block of code i still got the error.

my hunch is it has to do with the lines;
#constant Tank as tankType[ALLTanks]
#constant target as targetType[ALLTanks]

Quote: "#constant Tank as tankType[ALLTanks]
#constant target as targetType[ALLTanks]"


Yes!
#constant replaces the second token with the rest of the line.

So after compilation, all occurrences of the word 'Tank' are replaced with ' as tankType[ALLTanks]' and all occurrences of the word 'target' are replaced with ' as targetType[ALLTanks]'

You shouldn't use a constant to set a global array value anyway! You should use the keyword global, for example:

+ its more handy if you put all your globals into a type/udt/struct

i am unsure if u need = at #constant or not
the Syntax said not
#constant name value
Quote: "
#constant ALLTanks 6
#constant AIForce = 4
"

No, #constant doesn't need the '=' sign.
Quote: "#constant ALLTanks 6"

This is correct.
