If you're using a custom script, make SURE that you have a line near the top that declares the "desc = " portion. Sometimes people will put it in a comment line, or they just leave it out altogether.

It has been the cause of many unusual bugs in scripts, so make sure your scripts have it in there.


If you're NOT using custom scripts, then perhaps you can anrrow it down to what it is taht's causing it. Sometimes you just gotta start removing stuff untilt he problem goes away.

I have tried about 5 custom scripts, and 2 or three from here on the forums.

I have no idea what is going wrong. I can post a screenshot if necessary, but this problem has afflicted several people here and their solutions haven't done anything for me as of yet.

Well, if they're custom, make sure they all have what I described above.

May I ask what your solution was so that it could help others?

foobly, perhaps you discovered this. Plystire is correct regarding the desc = issue. You would think that even the following code would work because we do have the "desc" line.

------------------------------------

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc =

;Triggers

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=70,hudimagefine=dialogtofj_l1at1.png,hudname=j_l1at1,hudhide=1,hudmake=display,state=10

:state=10,plrdistwithin=90:hudshow=j_l1at1,state=20
:state=20,plrdistfurther=91:hudunshow=j_l1at1,state=10

;End of Script

--------------------------------------

Well, it doesn't. You get the evil eye (eyd hud) displayed. Not only do you need to have a "desc" on a line you need to have something following the "=" sign. Don't know why but that's the way it is. So you would have a line like this:

desc =show hud

Now the script will work and your hud will show up correctly.
