Common compiling errors

This little resource is designed for beginners. If your error is not listed here, DON'T POST! See this document first (there's a special category dedicated to errors/warnings). If you have read that, and did not understand the definition of the error message, you may post here - but don't forget: be polite, don't nag, don't spam, etc. You should also include the lines of code where you are experiencing errors.

• 1. Missing functions
  
  Quote:

  error 017: undefined symbol "GetVehicleVelocity" error 017: undefined symbol "SetPlayerDrunkLevel" error 017: undefined symbol "SetPlayerVelocity" ....

  Solution: Grab the latest pawno includes from www.sa-mp.com and make sure to run the right pawno IDE.
  
  
  
• 2. Problems with public functions, timers, etc.
  
  Quote:

  error 025: function heading differs from prototype

  Solution: Make sure your "forward" declaration lines match the "public" definitions.
  
  
  
• 3. Syntax mistakes
  
  Quote:

  error 001: expected token: ";", but found "]" error 029: invalid expression, assumed zero ..

  Solution: Check your syntax, make sure you don't miss any symbols like ';' and remember that Pawn is case-sensitive.
  
  
  
• 4. Compiler limits
  
  Quote:

  error 075: input line too long (after substitutions)

  Solution: Pawn has limits for certain things, like line lengths. Don't make your lines _too_ long to prevent this.
