You forgot the word function() for iscavenight

inst:WatchWorldState( "iscavenight", function() SetNightVision end)

You also seemed to have forgotten your end command... This might fix it? Not sure

oh man, i totally didn't see this till' now.
um... uh um
 

[Hornete]

Oh ignore that first part, you can do your icon **** later.

[chazcat124]

oh, ok.

it looks like this now. is that good?

[Hornete]

Uh no thats not good, haha. See on the left how the gray/red line extends all the way down? That means the common postinit hasn't been ended properly. Here let me see 

Uh you have 2 "local common_postinit = function(inst)" haha, delete one.

[chazcat124]

the line doesn't stop going so it's saying 'weeeeeee'...-

it was a dumb joke :/

i deleted one of the things, this looks better i think.

i think i should test it again.

[Hornete]

yep thats good now

 

[chazcat124]

[chazcat124]

this forge BG really sets the whole 'mods breaking' mood, huh?

i may, or may not have deleted the wrong thinggy earlier.

...
i'm guessing i did.

i'll CTRL Z it and then delete the top one this time.

*crosses fingers*

the game...
error messaged me...
then forced-closed a moment later...

[Hornete]

Well I've gotta go

 

I will see you tommorow.

[chazcat124]

ok.
man, i hope DST isn't mad at me now...

if anyone's interested, here's the current(as of now) error.
i'm off to bed now, see this screen tomorrow!

oh, one more thing:
to those who are curious, i highlighted the line it doesn't seem to like in that error message(line 63).

[Ultroman]

Look at that line and compare it to the ones above. There's something missing. Try fixing the indentation first. Might make it easier to see

[Hornete]

Oh my gosh, I keep telling you this haha, You need a (inst) after "SetNightVision" in line 63

[chazcat124]

oops, I'm a dumb

i'll try that

I added it, and it doesn't crash anymore.
but it still doesn't work.

[Hornete]

You have 2 local common_postinits, combine them together and delete one.

[chazcat124]

these lines at the side here?

[Hornete]

No, Look carefully you have local common_postinit and another one right below.

[chazcat124]

it's a master and local one

unless i'm looking in the wrong place...

[Hornete]

See where you have the listenforevents? That's also a local common_postinit and theres one right below

 

[chazcat124]

i don't see it...

[Hornete]

[chazcat124]

oh.

Sorry!

so... Like this...?

 

it worked

 

well, now to make them count as a monster. this probably won't be nearly as hard, will it?

[Hornete]

Quote

inst:AddTag("playermonster")
inst:AddTag("monster")

you just add those tags.

[chazcat124]

just, anywhere or in a specific location?

wait, nm

it says you can add them there

uh oh.

[Hornete]

What did you do.
