I was practicing a guide on steam and i wrote a script i first got entity which is a big house i renamed it in properties to Construction , it's entity number is 2 .. so i wrote a script with N++

Function Construction2_init(e)
end

Function Construction2_main(e)
PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)
if PlayerDist < 100 then
Prompt(“You Have Arrived”)
end
end

I named it with construction.lua
and i attached it i keep getting an error upon lunching the game
Syntx error near construction.init
what did i do wrong ?

your function declaration must match your script name, for a function name "Construction2" you must name your script "Construction2.lua"

The _int(e) and _main(e) have to be the same as the name of the file

So if your file is called construction.lua then those lines should be ...

Function construction_init(e)

and

Function construction_main(e)

Did you set the building to dynamic.?
scripts can only be used if the entity is dynamic
check the fpe file of the building and change defaultstatic = 1 to defaultstatic = 0
The distance check is meassured i think with the pivot point location of the entity. mostly in the center.
so maybe a greater distance check, if it is a large building.

Like the other have said match the script name with the function names, and use lowercase letters.

You have used Function, it should be function , lowercase letter f

+ Code Snippet

function construction2_init(e) 
 end

 function construction2_main(e) 
 PlayerDist = GetPlayerDistance(e)
 if PlayerDist < 100 then
 Prompt(“You Have Arrived”)
end
 end

-- So now name the script, construction2.lua in this example
