Error: End of line

[thirith 27]

I've been editing my scripts in mission.sqm, seeing how they were getting pretty messy in the in-editor initialisation fields - but now when I try to load the mission in the editor, I get the following error:

Can anyone help me with this? Is it that in the editor I shouldn't use Enter but something else? I'm editing in Notepad++, in case this helps.

 

Here's the code in question:

init="this addEventHandler [""fired"",
	{apc1 removeAllEventHandlers ""fired"";
	[] spawn {
		sleep 3; 
		task2a = player_a createSimpleTask [""Destroy the APC""];
		task2b = player_b createSimpleTask [""Destroy the APC""];
		task2c = player_c createSimpleTask [""Destroy the APC""];								
		task2d = player_d createSimpleTask [""Destroy the APC""];								
		task2e = player_e createSimpleTask [""Destroy the APC""];								
		task2f = player_f createSimpleTask [""Destroy the APC""];																
		{_x setSimpleTaskDestination (getPos apc1)} forEach [task2a, task2b, task2c, task2d, task2e, task2f];   
		player groupChat ""Are they heading for the airbase?"";
		taskHint [""Destroy the APC"", [1, 1, 1, 1], ""taskNew""];
		}
	}   
];";

You're missing a bracket...

 

init="this addEventHandler [""fired""],

 

and maybe comma should be semicolon?

 

this doesn't look right either:

 

];";

 

Perhaps this is correct?

init="this addEventHandler [""fired""]";
	{apc1 removeAllEventHandlers ""fired"";
	[] spawn {
		sleep 3; 
		task2a = player_a createSimpleTask [""Destroy the APC""];
		task2b = player_b createSimpleTask [""Destroy the APC""];
		task2c = player_c createSimpleTask [""Destroy the APC""];								
		task2d = player_d createSimpleTask [""Destroy the APC""];								
		task2e = player_e createSimpleTask [""Destroy the APC""];								
		task2f = player_f createSimpleTask [""Destroy the APC""];																
		{_x setSimpleTaskDestination (getPos apc1)} forEach [task2a, task2b, task2c, task2d, task2e, task2f];   
		player groupChat ""Are they heading for the airbase?"";
		taskHint [""Destroy the APC"", [1, 1, 1, 1], ""taskNew""];
		}
	}

Super, thanks. I'll try your suggestions ASAP.

 

 

Edit: Brief addendum: some of the weirdness in the script above came directly from the editor, for instance the weird brackets and quotation marks. For instance, if I understand correctly, in mission.sqm you need the " (and probably the ; ) at the end, since the quotation marks envelop the entire init field.

 

Anyway... What I've started doing now is editing the scripts for initialization and On Act fields in Notepad++ (with the SQM plugin) and then copying them into the editor. It's when I have to debug or edit the script, it's a bit of a hassle. How do the pros juggle between the editor and editing the scripts directly? Are there recommended practices?
