[Script] Syntax error : Unexpected token )

Hi ! I try to add this script ("new script" button) to my campaign, but I get this error (in API Output Console) : "SyntaxError: Unexpected token )\n at eval (<anonymous>)\n at messageHandler (evalmachine.<anonymous>:284:6)\n at process.<anonymous> (/home/node/d20-api-server/node_modules/tiny-worker/lib/worker.js:60:55)\n at emitTwo (events.js:106:13)\n at process.emit (events.js:194:7)\n at process.nextTick (internal/child_process.js:766:12)\n at _combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:73:7)\n at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:104:9)" The script : on('chat:message',function(msg) { //example roll: !openroll 90 mastery inhumanity // will roll 1d100+90 including open roll values, limited to values below zen, with a reduced chance to fumble from mastery // Adding 'initiative' as a flag will dictate the result with appropriate flags to the initiative tracker. if(!(msg.selected && msg.selected.length > 0)) return; // Make sure there's a selected object var token = getObj('graphic', msg.selected[0]._id); if(token.get('subtype') != 'token') return; // Don't try to perform this command on a drawing or card //code supplied by Brian for determining if a player is speaking in character or not. var name = msg.who; var character = findObjs({ _type: 'character', name: name })[0]; var who; if(character) // Player is speaking as a character { who = 'character|'+character.id; } else // Player is speaking as a player { who = 'player|'+msg.playerid; } //parse the message type if(msg.type != 'api') return; var parts = msg.content.toLowerCase().split(' '); log( 'parts: '+parts); var command = parts.shift().substring(1); //remove the ! if(command == 'openroll') { //Variable Declarations var openFloor = 90; // The minimum result needed to roll again. set to the default described in the core rules. var fumbleCeil = 3; // Rolls below or equal to this number are considered fumbles. set to core rules default. var open; // Flag for the player having rolled a number above openFloor. var dice; // Numberical value of latest dice rolled (1d100).

Try putting a ; (semi-colon) as the very first character of the script: ; on('chat:message',function(msg) Basically what's happening is that all the API scripts get concatenated together in together when the API Sandbox starts up.  Because Javascript was initially designed by neophytes, they thought it would be a good idea to make the ; on the end of traditional C/C++ syntax optional.  However, they didn't foresee all the implications that would have. Whatever your previous script is, it likely doesn't end in a ; and the concatenation is joining the 'on' at the beginning of this script with the end of the prior and making the ( an unexpected character.

Is that because there might be another script loading previously that does not end with a semicolon?

Thx for the reply ! Unfortunately this doesn't resolve my problem :( (I don't have another script)

Ok. My next guess will be place your cursor after the on and delete backwards about a dozen times, then retype the on .  Copying from the forum, can often copy invisible unicode characters that cause errors. Those unicode characters are most often at the beginning of the copied test.
I've gotten this error whenever I try to copy/paste the Shaped Companion script from one game to another. Copying/pasting from the raw code on github works though. Dunno why I can't copy/paste from one game to another, but whatever.

Use this and see if you have a basic syntax error.&nbsp; Copy your code to it and run the code.&nbsp; It will tell you exactly what line the error is on <a href="https://js.do/" rel="nofollow">https://js.do/</a> Forget: I checked, code is fine.&nbsp;&nbsp;

I actually ran it against the Google Closure Compiler and had no errors.

This is just a suggestion, but I'd start by commenting out everything starting with if command = openroll and see if it still bombs.&nbsp; If it does the problem is at the start.&nbsp; Then start commenting back in a section at a time until you've narrowed down the issue&nbsp;
Wow ! Your reactivity impresses me ! Effectively the script has no errors (I had checked before post here). No, the error is between the chair and the keyboard... I did not see it was necessary to select the token before typing the command... I'm sorry Max
This also occurs if you try to modify a script from within the API editor (don't do that, by the way!).&nbsp; Why are Roll20's editors such crap, all of a sudden (API, text, etc)?&nbsp; I don't remember them being this bad.&nbsp;&nbsp; Anyway, I get around it, as others have already mentioned, by modifying in an external editor.&nbsp; I then just copy and paste into the script window.&nbsp; As long as there weren't already syntax errors within the script, all is well.&nbsp; Sometimes, read as rarely, restarting the sandbox can clear this.
I did not have be clear : it's me the error ! The script work verry well, but I did not know how to use it. Now I've take the time to read the doc, and everything is fine.
