General Pawn Error List

This pages contains all errors and warning issued by the Pawn Compiler.

Error categories

Errors are separated into three classes:

Errors

• Describe situations where the compiler is unable to generate appropriate code.
• Errors messages are numbered from 1 to 99.

Fatal errors

• Fatal errors describe errors from which the compiler cannot recover.
• Parsing is aborted.
• Fatal error messages are numbered from 100 to 199.

Warnings

• Warnings are displayed for unintended compiler assumptions and common mistakes.
• Warning messages are numbered from 200 to 299.

Commonly Seen Warnings

loose indentation (217)

The compiler will issue this warning if the code indentation is wrong, example:

Good:

if(condition)
{
    action();
    result();
}

Bad:

if(condition)
{
    action();
  result();
}

Indentation means to push text along from the left of the page. This is used in pawn to make code easier to read.

There is a way to avoid theese warnings without indenting properly, but is not recommended by experienced scripters.

Simply put

#pragma tabsize 0

At the top of your script.
