A_AttachLight is causing a problem

[SPZ1]

Something is wrong with this A_AttachLight?

Code: Select all

ACTOR Stone_Arrow_Floor_Invisible 20045 {
	Scale 3.0
	Radius 2
	Height 6
	Alpha 0.0
	RenderStyle "Translucent"
	+BRIGHT
	//+DORMANT
	+ISMONSTER

	States {
		Spawn:
			EMPT AAAAAAAAAA 12 A_FadeIn(0.1)
			EMPT A 0 A_SetRenderStyle(1.0, STYLE_Normal)
			EMPT A 15 A_AttachLight("FloorArrowLight01", DynamicLight.PointLight, "Blue", 96, 96, DYNAMICLIGHT.LF_DONTLIGHTSELF)
			EMPT A -1
			Stop
	}
}

Code: Select all

Execution could not continue.
Script error, "DECORATE.lmp:decorate.lmp" line 27155:
Expected ',', got '.'.

Could it possibly be because

Note: this function is not fully supported by DECORATE.
If used from DECORATE, all parameters starting from ofs should be omitted.
Consider switching to ZScript to fully utilize this function.

I have not used the A_AttachLight function myself, but I saw this message we'll looking into your problem and thought it might be the issue.

Just one simple question: why do you insist on using decorate, when programmer like you has obviosly no problem with zscript? Just write it directly in zscript and completely forget decorate and many of problems will be gone...

All parameters from ofs are omitted.

Well for one... DECORATE allows me to use Map Editor Numbers and SpawnIDs. I use it to split my simpler things from my more complicated ones. I don't think this bug should exist because there is a newer way that allows things to be broken.

DECORATE doesn't support the <classname>.<constant> syntax. To solve this, either switch to ZScript, or, if you must stay with DECORATE, replace DynamicLight.PointLight with 0, and DYNAMICLIGHT.LF_DONTLIGHTSELF with 4.

You can find those DynamicLight constants here.

You assign those in MAPINFO nowadays, be it for DECORATE or ZScript.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction
