Standalone game hud error on bootup

[AshHouswares]

I've got this single error popping up whenever I try to boot my standalone game. I'm not sure what's wrong with it is seems to be to do with my hud zscript. Anyone here understand what this issue is?

Side note: the games title has been blurred out. It's not actually blank like that for the record.

You may need to put quotation marks around that; it is treating it as if it's the name of a string or variable instead.

Make sure you're using the latest version of GZDoom, or at least a recent one. Also, make sure you set the ZScript version at the top of your ZSCRIPT file to at least version 2.4. If you already happen to have this set to a higher version, then you don't need to change it.

Code: Select all

version "2.4"

Mono_CellLeft is a constant.

My version is 3.3.0

I cant change that either. Will this be a problem because if so I need an alternative fix since upgrading is not an option. 3.3.0 should be fine though because its higher?

ZScript version is not the same thing as GZDoom version.

In GZDoom 3.3.0, you can either set monospacing to true (equivalent to Mono_CellLeft) or false (equivalent to Mono_Off). So change the problematic line to this:

Code: Select all

mHUDFont = HUDFont.Create(fnt, fnt.GetCharWidth("0"), true, 1, 1);
