You actually have two strings in this code."if mousex>188 and mousex<124 and mousey<121 and mousey>109 then(tpt.drawtext (188, 109, "
and")end"
Note thattestingand the last ) are left out. That's what it might mean.
Basically, strings don't nest, meaning
"Hello, "world" " is two strings and an invalid word "world".
Inside strings, quotation marks are either swapped"Hello, 'world' "
which will nest or escaped"Hello, \"world\" "
which basically says to the computer that you want the quotation marks as characters and you don't want to end the string.
String = Piece of text.
TL;DR:
-
Use tpt.el.(4-character element name).flammable=00
Ok, that helped, but I need to make a string inside of a string. I am trying to register a script to run on every frame, but that script contains a string.

'code code "string" code'
"code code \"string\" code" (might not work)
BTW, I had those answers in the first post as well. -

You also need to make it a function by writing "tpt. Register_step(function asdf() [code] end)", you can't just put your code in a string -
Ah thanks, I was just putting one zero instead of two :P
-
If my code is too long for the console what must I do?
EDIT:Wait....
EDIT2:scratch that... its giving me an error saying "( expected near asdf" :/ so... im gonna try to fix it... but if you can answer before then it would be nice ^^
EDIT3: nope... I can't fix it....

You might be able to do it in one line, but I know 2 will work. Type three separately:
function test() [your code] end
tpt.register_step(test) -

you dont type function name in anonymous declaration
tpt.register_step(function() code end) -
'unexpected symbol near ['
EDIT: just read mniip's post :P
edit2: now it says 'unexpected symbol near ')''
EDIT3:forgot the code, derp.
tpt.register_step(function ( test ) if mousex>188 and mousex<124 and mousey<121 and mousey>109 then tpt.drawtext ( 188, 109, "testing" ) end)
