Script Error

[Forty-two]

I am using Fomar's FFV system script, but I keep encountering this error:

"comparison of Fixnum with nil failed"

on Line 407.

The script around that area reads,

def job_level(job_hunt = @job_current)
    unless job_hunt == unemployed_name
      for job in @job_history
        if job['name'] == job_hunt
          ap = job['ap']
          lvl = 0
          job_advert = get_job(job_hunt)
          for i in 1...job_advert['max_lvl'] + 1
            key = 'lvl' + i.to_s
            if ap >= job_advert[key]
              ap -= job_advert[key]
              lvl += 1
            end
          end
          return lvl
        end
    end
  end
    return 0
  end

Can anyone tell me what's going on? Or rather, why can't scripting language be more user-friendly?

 

[Fomar0153]

Are you loading an old save file from before you put the script in?

And ruby is very user friendly try other languages if you don't believe me.

 

[Forty-two]

No, I keep selecting "new game" from the menu.

Guess I'm just new to the scripting world.

 

[Fomar0153]

Which line exactly is the error happening on?
e.g.

if ap >= job_advert[key]

And can you post your constants.

 

[Forty-two]

That's the line. What do I do with it?

 

[Fomar0153]

Well if that's the line then you probably haven't set up the constants correctly.
Post them. (they looks like this):

 Jobs = [
  {'name'=>"Knight", 'command'=>'!Defend',
  'max_lvl'=>6, 'lvl1'=>10, 'lvl2'=>20, 'lvl3'=>30, 'lvl4'=>40, 'lvl5'=>50, 'lvl6'=>100,
  'ability1'=>'!Defend', 'ability2'=>nil, 'ability3'=>nil, 'ability4'=>nil, 'ability5'=>nil, 'ability6'=>'Equip Sword', 
  'HP'=>20,'SP'=>0,'STR'=>20,'DEX'=>10,'INT'=>0,'AGI'=>0,
  'style1'=>'Sword', 'style2'=>'Shield', 'style3'=>'Armour'
  },
  {'name'=>"Mage", 'command'=>'!Skill',
  'max_lvl'=>6, 'lvl1'=>10, 'lvl2'=>20, 'lvl3'=>30, 'lvl4'=>40, 'lvl5'=>50, 'lvl6'=>100,
  'ability1'=>'!Skill', 'ability2'=>nil, 'ability3'=>nil, 'ability4'=>nil, 'ability5'=>nil, 'ability6'=>'Equip Staff', 
  'HP'=>0,'SP'=>20,'STR'=>0,'DEX'=>0,'INT'=>20,'AGI'=>10,
  'style1'=>'Staff', 'style2'=>'Robe', 'style3'=>'Cloak'
  },
  
  ]

Okay, but then where would this line go:

'job_needed'=>nil, 'lvl_needed'=>nil, 'gender'=>nil

It was in that array in the demo version of the script, and it seems to be giving me trouble now. It's also a line I particularily would like to use.

 

[Fomar0153]

Sorry I must be looking at an older version of my script with slightly differant constants, please post the constant Jobs so I can check if that is set up correctly.

 

[Forty-two]

This was how it was set up:

Jobs = [
  {'name'=>"Knight", 'command'=>'!Defend',
  'max_lvl'=>6, 'lvl1'=>10, 'lvl2'=>20, 'lvl3'=>30, 'lvl4'=>40, 'lvl5'=>50, 'lvl6'=>100,
  'ability1'=>'!Defend', 'ability2'=>nil, 'ability3'=>nil, 'ability4'=>nil, 'ability5'=>nil, 'ability6'=>'Equip Sword', 
  'HP'=>20,'SP'=>0,'STR'=>20,'DEX'=>10,'INT'=>0,'AGI'=>0,
  'job_needed'=>nil, 'lvl_needed'=>nil, 'gender'=>nil
  },
  {'name'=>"Mage", 'command'=>'!Ice-Skill',
  'max_lvl'=>6, 'lvl1'=>10, 'lvl2'=>20, 'lvl3'=>30, 'lvl4'=>40, 'lvl5'=>50, 'lvl6'=>100,
  'ability1'=>'!Skill', 'ability2'=>nil, 'ability3'=>nil, 'ability4'=>nil, 'ability5'=>nil, 'ability6'=>'Equip Staff', 
  'HP'=>0,'SP'=>20,'STR'=>0,'DEX'=>0,'INT'=>20,'AGI'=>10,
  'style1'=>'Staff', 'style2'=>'Robe', 'style3'=>'Cloak',
  'job_needed'=>nil, 'lvl_needed'=>nil, 'gender'=>nil
  }
  
  ]

 

[Fomar0153]

Well if you haven't edited it then the constant is fine, do you have any other scripts which may conflict? If you have edited the constant can I see your version?

 

[Forty-two]

Actually, it seems to be working now...
The thing is, I had added around 12 classes, and I didn't realize that I needed to add those to the "update actor graphics" section.

But I would still like to know how to keep the

'style1'=>'Sword', 'style2'=>'Shield', 'style3'=>'Armour'

section into it, as it seems to be giving problems.

Here's the constants I edited:

  ]

(Many of the classe are abbreviations)

Sorry to bother you further, but I also would like to know how to make the "Knight" class require both "DSlay" and "Glad", if this is possible.

Thanks for all your help!:D
