This list shows some of the errors provided by ApeScript and their potential causes. (This document is due for an update with a full list of all the errors.)
Assign value failed - Something is wrong with the varible set by an equality.
Brain location(s) are negative - When brain_value is called, brain_x, brain_y and/or brain_z are negative.
Brain location(s) are too big - When brain_value is called, brain_x, brain_y and/or brain_z are larger than 31.
Brain value out of range - brain_value is not in the range 0 to 255.
Character not known - A non-ApeScript character is included in the file. # for example is not recognised by ApeScript.
First value failed - Something is wrong with the first value of an equality, if or while operation. It could be the first and only value in this function.
if/while doesn't end with } - All if/while statements requires a closing brace }.
if/while not followed by ( - All if/while statements require a bracket following the if/while (allowing for any amount of whitespace too).
if/while without { - All if/while statements expect what is executed through the bracket enclosed statement being correct to be followed by inclusive braces { }. There is no single line if or while statements without { } in ApeScript.
Input variable without equals - All variables set require an equals following the variable.
Line start incorrect - A line of code begins incorrectly. It could start with a number or an operator when if/while or a variable was expected.
Maximum ... reached - Where ... is script size, numbers, variables or braces. ApeScript supports a finite number. If this is too few for you (ie you get this error in your code and you can't reduce the number of ... you are using), please contact tom at nobleape dot com direct
Not algorithm - The syntax is incorrect for a variable/number-operator-variable/number sequence. The operator is either unrecognised or is not an operator when it should be.
Number expected - A non-numeric character is included in a number string.
Number too big - Number doesn't fit the range 0 to 65535.
Output set as input variable - An output only variable is attempting to be set.
Second value failed - Something is wrong with the second number/variable value of an equality, if or while operation.
Selected being out of range - select_being greater than or equal to number_beings or negative.
Test value(s) negative - the test_x and test_y values need to be positive.
Test value(s) too big - the test_x and test_y values need to be in the bounds of the map (ie no greater than 16383.
Too many } - You have closed too many braces. Go back to the code and see if there is an erroneous additional } in the code.
Unknown syntax - The syntax is incorrect for a particular line.
Wrong syntax end - A bracket or colon was expected but not found.
