ZScript in Decorate not working

Post by Kzer-Za »

I'm trying to define a custom missile just like in this manual with BeastBall example, but with my "Class TestFBall : ACTOR" I'm getting an error:
Script error, ":decorate.testfball" line 1:
Expected '{', got 'TestFBall'.
My description is in a separate file "DECORATE.testfball", the syntax seems to be followed, but ZDoom doesn't even get to parsing the code! Has synax changed and now you have to have everything followed "Class" in curly brackets, or what?

Sorry, I'm confused by your post. Are you loading this in a lump called DECORATE.testfball? If so, GZDoom is probably trying to load is as DECORATE code rather than ZScript code (call your file zscript.something).

Oops! From this https://zdoom.org/wiki/Converting_DECOR ... to_ZScript I somehow got the impression that you could kinda embed sripts right in DECORATE files :) My bad. Just renamed the file into zscript.testfball and it's working now :)
