What does "unexpected identifier" mean?

I am trying to get the API script "Flight" to work but after I first enabled SplitArgs and then enabled Flight, I get this error. I click save scrip to restart the sandbox but then I get the same error again. After I disable the Flight and SplitArgs it ends. Is this a compatibility error with other APIs perhaps?

Usually it means you forgot a closing punctuation or a var somewhere. Like... sendChat('API',"Some Text") var x = randomInteger(20); The omitted ; causes an issue. That may be an "unexpected token" error, though. I get those two all the time. They simply mean there's a syntax error somewhere.

With API Scripts, it can often occur if there isn't a return at the end of the file. Something like this: /* ... bunch of code ... */ } followed by: var foo = foo || (function() { /* ... bunch of code ... */ can get concatenated into this: /* ... bunch of code ... */ }var foo = foo || (function() { /* ... bunch of code ... */ Which is an error because it expected the end of line or ; to be there (Javascript has automatic semicolon insertion, which leads to all these and many other subtle errors...), and instead sees a v, which is an "unexpected identifier". Putting a ; at the end of your scripts, or at the beginning can cause that not to be an issue.

On a second examination, the problem is coming from SplitArgs. I did look to see if it was missing a ; but all seemed well. Of course I am a novice coder. Have you heard of any problems with SplitArgs? It is a requirement for Flight, which I was hoping to get working since one of our characters can fly now....

There was a bug in it in the past, but I wouldn't expect one there now. The insidious thing with "unexpected identifier"s that arise out of missing semicolons is that they can show up in other places. If you don't have a lot of scripts, you could try disabling everything except split args, and slowly enable them again until you get the error.

I fixed it with your suggestion. Thanks Aaron!

Great!
