Script error cant find method ..."Method Name"

[jamisco]

So I have a methed called

Code: Select all

public void ActivateTheGunner()
{
	//Activating DA Gunner
}

but when I run my game and

I'm using a script trigger object in map editor to trigger the method, it says this error

Script Error
Can't find method 'ActivateTheGunner()' in map script. Expecting:
public void ActivateTheGunner()(TriggerArgs)
{
}

but when I'm using the object itself to trigger the method, it says

Script Error
Can't find method 'ActivateTheGunner()' in map script. Expecting:
public void ActivateTheGunner()(CreateTriggerArgs)
{
}


In the script method for the object in map editor, ive tried both 'ActivateTheGunner()" and 'ActivateTheGunner", Neither one works and I can assure you its not a spelling mistake... So I'm guessing my problem has to do with the games concept of triggers, If it does please tell me what triggers are and what they are used for and what I'm doing wrong here , else if triggers aren't my problem, you can still tell me what triggers are if you want (Please) and please tell me a way to fix my problem.

Thanks

You're just missing the arguments to the function - all triggers require the "TriggerArgs args" parameter:

Code: Select all

public void ActivateTheGunner(TriggerArgs args)
{
}

Its still not working. Now I get this....

Script Error
Error in method 'ActivateTheGunner(TriggerArgs)' in map script. See the exception for more details:
--- Exception ---
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at SFDScript.GameScript.ActivateTheGunner(TriggerArgs args)

[Gurt]

It indicates a runtime error in your script which is
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
in your method ActivateTheGunner(TriggerArgs args)

So the trigger args part isn't the problem then?

The problem refers to something you have declared but not initialized or is set to null.
For instance, if I declare a type from the API classes, like IObject I cannot read his values without initializating it before:

Code: Select all

public void OnStartup()
{
IObject a;
a=null;
Game.ShowPopupMessage(""+a.GetHealth());
}

This code will generate a null reference exception.

Thx Jak, I found the "broken code" in my code, problem is, it doesn't look broken.

the broken part is within the foreach statement.

IPlayer[] Enemies = new IPlayer[] { }
int i = 0 // used for enemy array
foreach(IPlayer plyr in Game.GetPlayers())
{
PlayerTeam Plyr_team = plyr.GetTeam()
if (Plyr_team != TheGunner.GetTeam())
{
Enemies = plyr
i++
}
}

I really do not see what is causing the object reference error, everything is initialized..
also ignore the lack of semi-colons for some reason when I add them to the post, I cant post my post

[JakSparro98]

if I try to compile this code I will get two errors, the first is that TheGunner as IObject do not exists, I suppose you have declared it in another portion of code. The second refers to the Enemies array wich you use without the index and brackets, but there aren't null references.

Can you send me all your script for helping me to help you?

Due to the change in problem, I created a new post, which can be found here
