Syntax, Parsing Error with Dialog File

[Elof Valantor]

Hi, I'm having some problems with my dialog file for an NPC i'm creating. WeiDU came up with a number of errors first time I tried to install and I've sorted most of em. This one is causing me problems though.

Code: [Select]

[C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\Natasha NPC Setup.exe] WeiDU version 192

[C:\Program Files\Black Isle\BGII - SoA\Natasha NPC Setup.exe] Using scripting s

Install Component [Natasha NPC]?
[I]nstall, or [N]ot Install or [Q]uit? i

Below is the section in question:

Code: [Select]

IF ~~ THEN BEGIN Join
SAY ~I guess thats fair enough. I'll join your group and lend my strength to you. Just remember, I don't kill for pleasure.~
++ ~That's fine by me, welcome aboard!~ + ~SetGlobal("NataJoined","LOCALS",1)
JoinParty()~ EXIT  {<-- line 97}
END
Can someone tell me whats wrong with the syntax? I've tried various things and they haven't worked.

Thanks in advance.

Two major problems--

You are missing the keyword DO
That third plus stands for GOTO, and in this case you are not GOTO'ing anywhere, you're EXITing. (a transition may have one and only one of: GOTO, EXTERN, EXIT.)

So basically you are saying GOTO ~SetGlobal~ etc. etc. which of course doesn't work.

This will work:
SAY ~I guess thats fair enough. I'll join your group and lend my strength to you. Just remember, I don't kill for pleasure.~
++ ~That's fine by me, welcome aboard!~ DO ~SetGlobal("NataJoined","LOCALS",1)
JoinParty()~ EXIT

Ah right. I'll sort that now. Thanks!
