Maybe you guys can help me? viewtopic.php?f=1&t=28358

Nah, CC uses 'murican spelling through and through. However, i noticed that it says GetsHitsByMOs, the underlined S being the typo (in other words, take it out). CC is incredibly unforgiving when it comes to spelling, so copy-pasta is the best course of action. Also, when it gives you a line where the error occurs, look at the nearby lines too. I've only very rarely have it point out the exact line with an error.

Worth noting, however, is that it doesn't count empty or commented-out (preceded by //) lines, so depending on how many of those you have, you can have a pretty significant inaccuracy in the pointing.

Interesting, I'll have a look through the Annotated Pistol .ini and see if I can't draw any conclusions by comparison then. Although, does the Color = Color require any specific syntax or is it a part of a specific syntax? What I mean is, can I just throw the Color = Color anywhere in the AddEffect chunk of code or must it precede/go after another line(s) of code? Because just looking at it right now the only thing left I can deduce is wrong would be a syntax error.

Well, you could PROBABLY take the whole Color = Color chunk (include the RGB values, their tabbing makes them part of it) and plop it anywhere in the MOPixel definition, but you should probably stick with what the vanilla content is doing. Thing is, you're already doing that. I'm pretty sure that extra S in GetsHitByMOs (as opposed to GetsHitsByMOs) is the last error, at least for that MOPixel.

In fact, i posit a theory: All variables within the same group with the same level of tabbing can be switched around freely. CC didn't seem to care much about where i placed things like GoldValue, scripts and attached emitters, so i think it holds water for the most part.

You're correct, all variables with the same tab depth can be mixed and flipped around as much as you like.

Gah, no matter what I do, it keeps telling me there's something wrong with line 11! I'm just going to scrap this script and start fresh, work from the annotated pistol file, and play around with it a few lines at a time until I understand what works and what doesn't.

A huge thanks to all you guys for all the patience and helpful advice! You've taken me as far as you can, the rest I'll have to do myself using good ol' fashioned spell checking and gumption.
