Error when there shouldn't be - Joe Staff - 01.08.2009

I have something that's like this

pawn Код:
if(...)
{
  if(...)
  {
    ....
  }
  ...
  new string[3][4];
  ... Use string in here ....
}
if(...)
{
  if(...)
  {
    ...
  }
  ...
  new string[2][4]; line 50
  ... Use string in here ...
}
and I get an error
Код:
(50) : error 021: symbol already defined: "string"
But since they're not apart of the same section, why is it giving me that error?

ADDED* but when I comment line 50, it says Undefined Symbol "string"

It probably means you have "string" defined globally, somewhere on top of your gamemode, so change "string" to something else.

It's an empty script, I'm starting from scratch. I don't really care though, I just changed the variable's name and got on with my life.

That causes the script to hault, because it's trying to set a string that doesn't exist. It's fine now, I just changed the name. I was just trying to make my script easy to add to for others.

Word "string" is sometimes used in functions parameters too, like

pawn Код:
MyFunction(playerid, string[])
so that may also cause that error.
