ADD-ON "Script_AdamBot" CONTAINS SYNTAX ERRORS

I already checked and nothing is wrong with the "{".

post the entire code

or possibly just what's immediately after it and everything before it

but preferably the former

oh my god
that's the same stuff that's in rtb
return parent::clientCmdChatMessage(%c,%a,%b,%fmsg,%cs,%name,%cp,%msg);

do
this
parent::clientCmdChatMessage(%c,%a,%b,%fmsg,%cs,%name,%cp,%msg);
stuff delivers syntax errors every loving time you try to do anything with TCP objects

There's no semicolon after 'return'

Oh nvm I see it's all one line (reading op from phone)

oh my god
that's the same stuff that's in rtb
return parent::clientCmdChatMessage(%c,%a,%b,%fmsg,%cs,%name,%cp,%msg);

What's the use in returning the parent?

What's the use in returning the parent?

If the original function returns a value and you don't return what calling the parent returns, you'll break functions that use the return value of the original function.

[adam savage]

Same error. I tried not returning it.

I fixed the error myself, it was a different function that is was confusing its {} with the others.

[otto-san]

it was a different function that is was confusing its {} with the others.

which is why you should have

posted the entire code

just a note for the future

That's not the part causing the syntax error.

You should always assume that a parent will return stuff.
