Hi,
Am new to AGK2 (Tier1) but am an experienced C#/VB.NET coder. I am confused as to why I am getting the above error. Code is below... any ideas because i am at a loss

spacing as integer = 0
x as integer = 0
y as integer = 0

// First the horizontal lines
if (numberHorizontalLines > 0)
spacing = round(GFXHeight / numberHorizontalLines)
for y = 0 to GFXHeight step spacing
DrawLine(0,y,GFXWidth,y, linecolour)
next y
endif

The error is showing on the line
spacing = round(GFXHeight / numberHorizontalLines)

For reference the GFXHeight has been defined as a Constant Integer at the top of the file
and numberOfHorizontalLines has been defined as an integer (as the parameter of the function this code is in)

I would be grateful for any pointers as this has me baffled

Many Thanks

Ive noticed a few things missing with the code
but below doesn't give errors

+ Code Snippet


#CONSTANT GFXHeight 100
#CONSTANT GFXWidth  100
#CONSTANT linecolour = MakeColor(255,255,255)
 
spacing as integer = 0
x as integer = 0
y as integer = 0

numberHorizontalLines=100

// First the horizontal lines
if (numberHorizontalLines > 0) 
	spacing = round(GFXHeight / numberHorizontalLines)
	for y = 0 to GFXHeight step spacing
		DrawLine(0,y,GFXWidth,y, linecolour,linecolour)
		//DrawLine(0,y,GFXWidth,y, r,g,b)
	next y
endif

Many Many Thanks.

I did have a constant set for GFXHeight, but set it "as integer" which explains the error. Quite why the compiler didnt flag it at that point i dont know.

I think its getting used to the slightly different basic than I am used to. Much appreciated the quick reply.
