====================================>


* Warning 217: loose indentation (Thanks to LarzI)
- Incorrect identation.

Example:
pawn Код:
if( strcmp( cmdtext, "/test", true ))
                {
      MyFunctionHere;
 if( something == somethingElse )
      {      somethingMuchElse; }
                            return true;
                  }
OR
pawn Код:
if( strcmp( cmdtext, "/test", true ))
{
MyFunctionHere;
if(something == somethingElse)
{
somethingMuchElse;
}
return true;
}
Fix:
Indentation is tabs in script.
First code starts at column 0 (or 1) which is 0 tabs.
If a sub-part of a code (after a opening bracket { or if statement generally) you put a tab.

pawn Код:
if( strcmp( cmdtext, "/test", true ))
{   //first part of code, no tabs
    MyFunctionHere; //pawn uses 4 spaces for one tab. This is after a opening bracket, therefore we enter one tab.
    if( something == somethingElse ) //here is another statement, but followed by a bracket, so the bracket won't be indented.
    {      
        somethingMuchElse; //this, on the other hand, is after a bracket, therefore we indent with another tab.
    } //the bracket is closed, therefore we go back to the column where the bracket is positioned (indented).
    return true; //still the same column, since there are no more opening-brackets, and no statements.
} //closing this part of code - go back to the first column

====================================>


* Warning 219: local variable "test" shadows a variable at a preceding level (Thanks to randomkid8
- A same named variable has been created at a preceding level.

Example:
pawn Код:
public TestFunction()
{
    new test;
    if(Example)
    {
        new test;
        test = 1;
    }
}
Fix:
pawn Код:
public TestFunction()
{
    new test;
    if(Example)
    {
        test = 1;
    }
}

====================================>


* Fatal error 107: too many error messages on one line
ATTENTION: Please fix any other errors first!
- There are too many errors.

Re: PAWN Error/Warning codes - ••• ĤБĶБM ••• - 24.10.2010

Should be moved to tutorials, and change subject to: How to fix pawno compiler warnings & errors. (Most common errors/warnings).

Or just leave it like that, I see it fits a little bit in this section.

On-topic: Great! Well done.

Re: PAWN Error/Warning codes - DarrenReeder - 24.10.2010

Well done. Will be a nice thing for people to read over who are new to pawn.

Re: PAWN Error/Warning codes - iJumbo - 24.10.2010

Great !!!!!!

Re: PAWN Error/Warning codes - DVDK - 25.10.2010

Thanks for all the comments, i've restyled some things, if you find more errors/warnings please add them here, i'd like to add them.

Re: PAWN Error/Warning codes - LarzI - 25.10.2010

Warning 217 - loose indentation:

Caused by bad indentation.

Example:

pawn Код:
if( strcmp( cmdtext, "/test", true ))
                {
      MyFunctionHere;
 if( something == somethingElse )
      {      somethingMuchElse; }
                            return true;
                  }
How to fix: Indent.

Indentation is tabs in script.
First code starts at column 0 (or 1) which is 0 tabs.
If a sub-part of a code (after a opening bracket { or if statement generally) you put a tab.

Example how to fix:
pawn Код:
if( strcmp( cmdtext, "/test", true ))
{   //first part of code, no tabs
    MyFunctionHere; //pawn uses 4 spaces for one tab. This is after a opening bracket, therefore we enter one tab.
    if( something == somethingElse ) //here is another statement, but followed by a bracket, so the bracket won't be indented.
    {      
        somethingMuchElse; //this, on the other hand, is after a bracket, therefore we indent with another tab. 
    } //the bracket is closed, therefore we go back to the column where the bracket is positioned (indented).
    return true; //still the same column, since there are no more opening-brackets, and no statements.
} //closing this part of code - go back to the first column

Re: PAWN Error/Warning codes - LarzI - 25.10.2010

No problem

Re: PAWN Error/Warning codes - DVDK - 25.10.2010

Added 4 new errors/warnings + bumb.
Also need some further explanation with warning 219.

Re: PAWN Error/Warning codes - randomkid88 - 26.10.2010

219 means you have a new variable defined that is defined at a preceding level.
For Example:
pawn Код:
new string[128];

public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{
     new string[128];
     if(!strcmp(cmdtext, "/msg", true))
     {
          format(string, sizeof(string), "%i", 42);
          SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_GREEN, string);
      }
}
or having it defined in 2 levels of a command or other fxn:
pawn Код:
public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{
   new string[128];
   if(!strcmp(cmdtext, "/msg", true))
  {
     new string[128];
     format(string, sizeof(string).......... //You get the rest


Re: PAWN Error/Warning codes - Luis- - 26.10.2010

Wrong section - Maybe should have been posted in the Tuts section, But it is a great tut

Re: PAWN Error/Warning codes - Scenario - 26.10.2010

It's about time somebody created a thread like this! Nicely done.
