Acs code not working

[Do0t]

My acs code doesn't work even after i did a compiled version and a LOADACS, everytime i try to use the code on a map i get a console message"P_startscript; Unknown script "Test"." However, using the code directly on the Gzdoom Builider Script Editor with OPEN or map trigger seen to work. The Decorate trigger is a test actor using the lost soul as placeholder. I don't have a programming background and that's my first time doing something with Acs, the code is pretty mess and made with nothing but "if else" statements but it does work. The Acs purpose is to teleport the actor near the player when everything else is made on Decorate.

SetActorVelocity (5,speedx,speedy,0,0,0);

             delay(30);

         }

        }
    else
         {

Print(s:"Away");

         }

    delay(10);

restart;
}
 

The random tid 5 is the tid i used when testing.

You need LOADACS with just one word in it, the name of the lump that has your script library in it, which judging by the library's name, I am guessing is NOPE, but it doesn't have to be.  What matters is that LOADACS has the name of the lump, and it will load the library in that lump, whatever its name is.

I'm not sure what is wrong but if you want a look yourself over the wad here's a link

I see the problem.  You have your ACS scripts in a lump named SCRIPTS, but LOADACS is looking for a lump named nope.  Either change the name of the SCRIPTS lump to nope, to match what LOADACS is looking for, or change LOADACS to load the SCRIPTS lump, rather than the nope lump.

I changed the name on the LOADACS to SCRIPTS and compiled the acs script again with SCRIPTS as name but still not working unfortunately. Anyway, thanks for the help but at this point i don't see what else i can do besides scrapping everything and giving up on the mod i'm working, no acs for me.

I tried to change the name of the library from nope to SCRIPTS, but I couldn't compile it.  My compiler for Zandronum doesn't know what SetActorPosition is.

 

Anyway, don''t give up so fast.  Maybe somebody else here can help where I couldn't.  Try also asking in the ZDoom forums.
