error 001: expected token: ";", but found "-identifier-" - Kyance - 09.09.2014

So, I've created an faction system, but for some reason I get this error.
If I change it to just do "while..." without checking the db, then "CreateFaction" stock doesn't work(in-game errors, stuff like "Couldn't create faction")

pawn Код:

stock FindNextSlot()
{
    new id, Query[100], DBResult:result;
    format(Query, sizeof(Query), "SELECT `ACTIVE` FROM `FACTIONS` WHERE `ID` = '%d'", id);
    result = db_query(Factions, Query);
    if(result)
    {
        do
        {
            new Field[70];
            db_get_field_assoc(result, "ACTIVE", Field, sizeof(Field));
        }
        while(FactionInfo[id][Active]) id ++; //error line
    }
    db_free_result(result);
    return id;
}

and

pawn Код:

stock CreateFaction(ownerid, name[])
{
    new DBResult:result, Query[360], factID = FindNextSlot();
    
    format(Query, sizeof(Query), "INSERT INTO `FACTIONS` (`ID`, `NAME`, `LOCKED`, `ACTIVE`, `MAXMEMBERS`, `MEMBERS`, `LEADER`, `HASLEADER`, `RANK1`, `RANK2`, `RANK3`, `RANK4`, `RANK5`) VALUES ('%d', '%s', '1', '1', '10', '1', '%s', '1', 'Trial Member', 'Member', 'Senior Member', 'Assistant', 'Leader')", factID, DB_Escape(name), DB_Escape(GetName(ownerid)));
    result = db_query(Factions, Query);
    if(result) SendClientMessage(ownerid, -1, "{64CC66}Faction successfully created!"), SendClientMessage(ownerid, -1, "{64CC66}You can use '/settings' to edit the faction info!");
    else SendClientMessage(ownerid, -1, "{FC4949}Failed to create faction, contact server owner(s).");
    db_free_result(result);
}

You're using the do-while loop wrong.

The syntax is

pawn Код:

do 
{
   
} 
while(some_statement); // not the semicolon at the end which you are lacking.

If you want to increment "id" each time the loop is executed, you should put in the "do" block.

But why does this compile and works fine;

pawn Код:

stock FindNextSlot()
{
    new id;
    while(groupinfo[id][active]) id ++;
    return id;
}

*taken from a older group script which was made by TheKiller, but edited by me*
And yeah, I don't really understand while-do loops ;_;

Because that's not a do-while loop. It's just a simple while loop.

pawn Код:

while(groupInfo[id][active])
{
    id++;
}

pawn Код:

do 
{
   id++;
} while(groupinfo[id][active]);

The code is very similiar. EXCEPT that the even if groupInfo[0][active] is false, the second bit of code will execute it while the first one won't.

Meh, still doesn't work

pawn Код:

stock FindNextSlot()
{
    new id, Query[100], DBResult:result;
    format(Query, sizeof(Query), "SELECT `ACTIVE` FROM `FACTIONS` WHERE `ID` = '%d'", id);
    result = db_query(Factions, Query);
    if(result)
    {
        do
        {
            new Field[70];
            db_get_field_assoc(result, "ACTIVE", Field, sizeof(Field));
            if(FactionInfo[id][Active]) id++;
        }
        while(FactionInfo[id][Active]);
    }
    return id;
}

I still get the 'failed to create faction' message here;

pawn Код:

stock CreateFaction(ownerid, name[])
{
    new DBResult:result, Query[360], factID = FindNextSlot();
    
    format(Query, sizeof(Query), "INSERT INTO `FACTIONS` (`ID`, `NAME`, `LOCKED`, `ACTIVE`, `MAXMEMBERS`, `MEMBERS`, `LEADER`, `HASLEADER`, `RANK1`, `RANK2`, `RANK3`, `RANK4`, `RANK5`) VALUES ('%d', '%s', '1', '1', '10', '1', '%s', '1', 'Trial Member', 'Member', 'Senior Member', 'Assistant', 'Leader')", factID, DB_Escape(name), DB_Escape(GetName(ownerid)));
    result = db_query(Factions, Query);
    if(result) SendClientMessage(ownerid, -1, "{64CC66}Faction successfully created!"), SendClientMessage(ownerid, -1, "{64CC66}You can use '/settings' to edit the faction info!");
    else SendClientMessage(ownerid, -1, "{FC4949}Failed to create faction, contact server owner(s).");
    db_free_result(result);
}
