Comes out with "Syntax Error on line 94!" which has the -- by it.

I don't understand how it comes out to a syntax error. And if there is any way to simplify the case stuff, then please tell me.

rkynick:

I would just stuff the data into an array.
(note it's been a while since I've done this so I might be forgetting something, but you get the general idea)

--- Code: ---function define_item_array(){
   $item_array_set=1;
   $item_array_start = 2;
   $item_array[2] = akimbopistolitem.getID();
   $item_array[3] = akimbopistolitem.getID();
   $item_array[4] = machstil.getID();
   //etc
}

--- End code ---

etc

then

--- Code: ---if(!$item_array_set){
   define_item_array();
}
if(%client.score >= $item_array_start){
   %item = $item_array[%client.score];
}

--- End code ---
to replace the switch.

However I don't know what your switch issue is, exactly.

Caust:

--- Code: ---Parent::spawnPlayer(%client)
--- End code ---
This needs a semi-colon.

Of course I skip over that. =/ Thanks.

I kinda get the jist of it. I'll experiement more with that. Thank you.
