Error List

From Dreamer

The Error List window shows any errors, warnings and notices that may have been generated during the script compilation. Because the script is compiled automatically in the background this list will also populate automatically as your type. This means that as you type some errors may show up that will disappear when you have finished typing a line. This may help to discover any syntax errors immediately.

Each error level has an icon associated to it. The level, or severity, describes the neediness of the error to be looked into and solved. Users can prevent some levels from showing on the list by toggling respective buttons.

[edit] Error

The most serious kind, that should be looked into. For example, when a string parameter is used instead of numeric. These pretty much guarantee the script will not work.

[edit] Warning

The script will probably work just fine even with several warnings. These tell the user that something does not quite add up. Warnings can be caused by the user who omitted something or Visual Dreamer finds something suspicious. A warning is issued when a command is not defined which may be caused by mistyping the command number or, more likely, by the Visual Dreamer command definition file being outdated.

As of version 4.0d, a warning would be issued when a value that is out of the defined range is used as a parameter.

[edit] Notice

Mostly of informal nature that provide insight when the compiler had to take a guess on something. Such as when the compiler assumes parameter type for undefined commands. These errors can be ignored without consequences.
