I was creating my first actor but got some problems (mainly because all tutorials create mods using templates as a base, and it's really complicated if I want to do something different or start the coding from a scratch).

Now, could someone help me with the coding?

What is the main problem?

Apart from having pasted almost random chunks of codes to make it work, I keep getting an error which says: Error at line 273, could not match property blah blah bleuh.

So, I went to line 273 and it reads: FGArm = Arm.

Could you paste it in pastebin?

It's not always the exact line thats wrong.

Yeah, got it on pastebin, and analized the entire sector, and I can't check what's wrong. I had JumpTime = 5, the only variable related to jetpacks, and at first I though that was the problem, so I deleted it and tried again and it didn't work.

Edit: could i get a link?

Why didn't I saw that one coming?

no, dont put an empty line in between descriptions. Also turn wordwrap off, its confusing.

Remove Jumptime.

need to be fixed.

How do I turn wordwrap off? And I didn't put any kind of space in between the lines, those went automatically (I guess).

And for the last part, no more random-code-copying-into-ini's.

Uh no, the code copying is done coders world wide, i swear, nobody types entire .inis anymore.

also in Notepad: Format -> Wordwrap make sure it isn't check marked.

Aaaahhhh, so that's what wordwrap do!

Ok, guess I'll start the codes over.

A couple of questions:
1) Do you know where I can get a template which is really flexible?
2) If I didn't sprite a jetpack, can I jetpack (the verb form of the word) anyway?

templates are extremely flexible, you can add things as you go along, keep posting here for questions on how.
And yes, you can have a jetpack, but make sure to have the sprite defined as Null.bmp in base.rte

The jetpack part was a bit confusing. Mind explaining it more a bit?

For example, you know how the Zombies can jump, right?
Well its cause they have a invisible jetpack which is done by setting the sprite to a single magenta pixel.
This invisible jetpack also shoots air particles which have their colour settings set to 255 0 255 [the magenta colour] and have HitsMOs and GetsHitByMOs = 0.

As a result you can make an invisible jetpack using the zombie's jump [called jump light in the pyro.ini in Base.rte/Effects/Pyro/Pyro.ini].

Using this as a template, create a decent jumptime and maybe lessen the amount of particles created. Be sure to define it later in your code.

Cool! That will surely help me for the "Grunt" actor I'll make later.

Thanks for the help, a lot. If I have the time to create the entire mod, when I post it you'll go in the credits.

I'll continue tomorrow. Thanks again!
