You don't need >loadmap, if you are using quickload
I deleted loadmap from the scripts and now it won't go back to any other island except the one where you autosaved at when talking to the transport guy.

I'm a noob scripter and im having troble with the following script:
on:trigger {
diary "title" [",15"];
}
I set up a diary entry to an aerial triger but when I activate it an error pops up telling me it is expecting a semicolon right after the semicolon (this happens with multiple semicolons).
I also need to know how to stop the trigger after it has been activated.

Here's some tips from me for Our new Scripter friend here. i would suggest you to dig the adventure map (map02 until map06) and try to learn something interesting there.

it's an attached library i should say.


Btw... here's what i got from the adventure map
it's about the diary entry.

on:trigger {
     diary "name of the entry","the s2s format directory","the tittle of the text that you want to pop up if the trigger activated";
     free "self";
}


to tell the truth... i don't even know what the free "self"; means

but it works fine in my map.

thank you for your help. though it didn't work for some reason. when I used the .s2s file to do it I had the same problem so im going back to useing the text box here
I'm going to try to decribe my problem better though.
ok this is the format I used
on:trigger {
diary "name of entry" [",text box ID number"];
free "self";
}
when I test the map i go into the trigger area and an error message pops up telling me that s2 is expecting a semicolon in the column right after the the existing semicolon. if I put in another ; as such:
on:trigger {
diary "name of entry" [",text box ID number"];;
free "self";
}
it tells me it expects a ; after the ; I just put in, and so on. when i exit out of the error massage i see that the diary entry did come up but when i exit out of the diary then about 1 second latter the same error massage and diary entry come up. this happens everywhere within the range of the trigger. I have tried everything I could think of, including changing the documentation, and it still happens. Please help!

edit

never mind.
after a lot more fooling around (mostly copy/paste) I was able to make a .s2s file that worked properly, although im still courious as to why the text box script wasn't working.

Well, it should look like this
1
2
3
on:use {
load "filepath\file name","script part";
}

- filename must be with extension.
- scriptpart is what part of the script it is
- Seperated with //~*part name*

I had the same problem that you did at first, but I eventually figured out that you have to leave the "random_char_native.s2s" alone. this is what I did: in the script part of the native unit I used the "import script button" and imported the file "mods/strandedII/sys/scripts/random_charscripts.s2s" then I deleted everything except:
//~native
on:use {
     dialogue "start","sys/scripts/random_char_native.s2s";
}
and it worked perfectly
hope this helps
