Sorry, but I got this error when compiling. It confuses me because first of all, I haven't tried declaring a function with a ')' and because the error of the line has no code on it!

Here is the code situated around the problem (I doubt you guys wanna look at all 1500 lines of the program) However, I would like to know what this error means, then I will know what problem to look for!

Function DeactivateArmy_COM(ArmyNumber)
Armies_S(Calendar_S(7), ArmyNumber, 7) = 1
EndFunction
<<-------This is where the 'error' occours
Function ActivateAllArmies_COM() `Activates every army in the game (for a new turn)
FOR Z = 1 TO MaxPlayers
FOR X = 1 TO MaxArmies
Armies_S(Z, X, 7) = 0
NEXT X
NEXT Z
EndFunction

I doubt that code snippet will help too much, however, if anyone knows what this means then they would be a lifesaver

Try moving the comment off the line with FUNCTION.
Function ActivateAllArmies_COM() `Activates every army in the game (for a new turn)
To
Function ActivateAllArmies_COM()
`Activates every army in the game (for a new turn)

you ain't the cops

Wow, that seemed to work.

Funny, cause it compiled last time and I hadn't changed that...

Call it luck the first time. In DBP, rem and ` are commands and not compiler directives. If you use them on the same line with other commands, use a semi-colon.

bubba = bubba * 2 : rem The semi-colon tells the compiler a new command is starting.

bubba = bubba * 2 : ` same thing.
