I have had a problem trying to execute my first script in blockland

[PurpleMetro]

Today I thought that I should make my very own script. So I went on Torque and followed their directions to make a Test folder with a blank sample.cs in the folder. Then they told me that my script wont activate it unless i activated it. So in the console, I typed, "exec("test/sample.cs");". But then blockland said something about the test folder was not in Blockland's main directory folder. I then tryed to move blockland to where my Blockland's Main Directory folder was supposed to be, which is my Program Files in My Computer. When I launched blockland from that folder, it asked me if I wanted Program Files to be Blockland's main directory folder. I said yes then I tried to execute my script again. But it said the same thing. Can anybody help me?

Badspot seems to have blocked loading scripts from outside Add-On or Configuration folders. You have to pack it the way we do it in Blockland, sir. Also, the topic was only here 12 minutes. Give it time.

Thanks MegaScientifical! Now i can continue my scripting tutorial and I will become a great scripter!

Wait it didn't work. When I read your post I thought that scripts could not be execute anywhere instead of the add-on folder. So i moved my test file to my Add On's folder and i tried to execute it but it didn't work!

You would then need to execute it using the correct path:

exec("add-ons/test/sample.cs");

[phflack]

the console works from the blockland folder, so you must give it a filepath starting from in that folder like fluff, instead of starting from in addons which you did

You would then need to execute it using the correct path:

exec("add-ons/test/sample.cs");

I did what you said in the Blockland Console but then it said "invalid script file name add-ons/test/sample.cs - add ons script must be in folders that follow the <category>_<name> convention."

Try naming it Add-Ons/Script_Testing/sample.cs - that's what the message means

[PurpleMetro]

Now I did what SpaceGuy said but then it said Missing File add-ons/Script_Testing/sample.cs!
Is that supposed to happen because my script is blank?

Do you know where the folder is? does the cs file exist? If it does try putting echo("This does exist!"); into it and then execute it. It should print in the console: This does exist!

I'll just say it even though I really don't want to explain the details: You have to pack it in a .zip file, with the .cs named "client.cs" and a description.txt.

or you can just put the cs file in your base (until ready to be packaged then put it in the addons folder in a zip)

Wrong.

You can execute any script in any folder, just not the same directory as Blockland.exe.

Ah well, I've recently tried running some scripts in my Add-Ons Log folder (C:\Program Files\Blockland\Add-Ons Log) and it wouldn't let me. Explain that.
