Problem with Hud (1 Viewer)

[Mikiky]

Hi all, this is my very first attempt to put together my own Hud for my SK. I keep getting this error message :

Unmatched bracket or invalid character following bracket found in index: "

Maybe I am just tired because I cant see the problem and it's probably staring me in the face :p

Other than the spamming of the error message, the Hud itself looks pretty damn good if I do say so myself!!!

The easiest way to troubleshoot this is to go line by line and comment every line out, reloading the hud every time. Once the error message stops spamming you, you've found the line the error is on. I'd do it myself, but sadly I don't really have the time to I work too much.

Never messed with a HUD in my entire life but I just skimmed through and I think I may have found the problem. Do this right here..

Change:
GameTime4=3,250,110,0,240,240,${If[${String[${GameTime.Night}].Equal["TRUE"]},Night,Day]}

To:
GameTime4=3,250,110,0,240,240,${If[${String[${GameTime.Night}].Equal["TRUE"]},Night] } else { ${If[${String[${GameTime.Night}].NotEqual["TRUE"]},Day }}

Hud syntax is pretty different than macros that I'm used to so I'm not sure if that will work. But here's another idea, instead of saying why don't you just put

Night: ${String[${GameTime.Night}]

That way it will just show up TRUE if it's night or FALSE if it's daytime. The reason I think this is the problem your having is because you have night, day after the if statement which doesn't make any sense. You can say if true then say night and else if false then say day. But again, I've never messed with HUDs before and I could be wrong let me know if that worked.

Hmm, editing with what you have in the first line did not work at all, it just returned a value of "null", so changed it back to the original line and it does give the correct values of "day" or "night"

Thank you for looking at this Sid and Unknown.. I'll see if I can figure it out by going through it one line at a time. The bummer of it all is there is no obvious errors that stand out as it runs as it seems to run ok and show all values correctly on the Hud itself as it runs.

Well, to narrow it down quickly, I'd comment out a section or two at a time. The moment it stops giving errors you know its in the section you commented out, then you can start uncommenting a few lines, etc then recomment a line or two until you narrow your search to where the problem is.
Troubleshooting FTL!
