Hudmessage and compiling

[idiotboy]

What's wrong with this, it keeps saying hudmessage has a missing required argument whenever I compile, but looking at other times I used it, and it looks pretty correct to me, what's wrong with it? (the first use not the second) I even tried putting the [alpha] argument but nothing worked.

Code: Select all • Expand view

script 10 (void)
{
   hudmessage(s:"Holy shit, a secret switch, now onwards to a secret level!": HUDMSG_PLAIN, 5, CR_GOLD, 0.5, 0.5, 4.0);
   delay(140);
   hudmessage(s:"But first, we can't have you leave with all those weapons"; HUDMSG_PLAIN, 6, CR_GOLD, 0.5, 0.5, 3.0);
   delay(105);
   DamageThing(0)
}

There is : instead of ; in that line.

The alpha argument is optional, so it shouldn't be the cause of any errors. m8f caught the culprit - the symbol after the string should be ; instead of :.

Ah, I didn't even notice that, thanks!
