Right at the top of your scripts lump write in:

#include "zcommon.acs"

and you'll be fine.

Is zcommon.acs in the same directory as the file you are compiling?

It doesn't have to be in a "file" but I find that my scripts compile just fine when I put acc plus all the files it comes with in the same directory/folder as the acs file I want to compile. The actual directory doesn't seem to matter, just the fact they are all together.

[offtopic] Wow, that a cool avatar Mayson. what's that from?[/offtopic]

ACC is funny like that.... I'm not entirely sure if you can specify pathnames or not when including the files. I think you can, and I remember having to do that, but it's been a while.

Yes, you can specify paths. (edit) For the location of libraries at least.

your avatar is also cool

but Zcommon still dosent work. do i have to put in in the same file that zdoom is in or doom builder?

I don't use doombuilder but in answer to the question - my zcommon is not in the same folder as my editor (DeePsea) or zdoom. It's in a folder called f:\doom\zdoomutils and so are all the other files that came with acc, acc itself and the scripts I compile.

If you are compiling the script with Doom Builder, then it should be in the program directory of Doom Builder. If you are not using DB to compile, then all you need to do is put the acc.exe, the wad and all needed .acs files in the same folder.

EDIT - Well, if that works for Enjay, then maybe they don't need to be in the same folder

ACC really should have an include path option.
