"const_toe"


When I do it it gives me a syntax error. I want to know if I'm doing something wrong or if I'm suppose to get a syntax error.

It looks okay. It depends, are all your objects named the same and... are you doing this in the Expression editor or the script editor?

i do it in the expression area and everything is the same. Should i just ignore the syntax?

Hey Solve,

I don't think you can ignore a syntax error. Can you post the exact error from the Script Editor window? That may help isolate the problem.

As a general rule of thumb, you should never get a syntax error. If you do, something is seriously broken.

The most common causes are:

A script that should use backticks `` to run a command has apostrophes '' in their place by mistake.

You've left out a semicolon.

Someone's word wrapping has broken a string in the middle. Look for lines that have a double-quote " in them that don't have a second double-quote " until the following line.

You've made a typo in a variable name or command.
