Trackable

I can't get this trigger to work. I get the compile error message "Expected a name". I'm assuming it means the path for the model (*.mdl). Anyone have any ideas?

This function is copyed from the above web page. It creates a destructable at a height and then creates a trackable on top of it, giving the trackable height.

Code:

function CreateTrackableZ takes string path, real x, real y, real z, real face returns trackable
    local destructable d = CreateDestructableZ( 'OTip', x, y, z, 0.00, 1, 0 )
    local trackable tr = CreateTrackable( path, x, y, face )
    call RemoveDestructable( d )
    set d = null
    return tr
endfunction

This is the trigger I'm using. But I'm getting a error message.

Code:

Set Trackable_Point[0] = (Point((Min X of (Entire map)), (Min Y of (Entire map))))
For each (Integer A) from 1 to 20, do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
        // Point X
        Set Temp_Real3[1] = ((X of Trackable_Point[0]) x (Real((Integer A))))
        // Point Y        
        Set Temp_Real3[2] = (Y of Trackable_Point[0])
        // Point Z
        Set Temp_Real3[3] = (100.00 x (Real((Integer A))))
        
        Custom script: call CreateTrackableZ( Abilities\Spells\Human\Invisibility\InvisibilityTarget.mdl, udg_Temp_Real3[1], udg_Temp_Real3[2], udg_Temp_Real3[3], 0.00 )

iNfraNe	Please use jass tags and trigger tags next time. Why didnt it work? You forgot to use " " around the pathstring, and you forgot to replace \ with \\ ( \ is an "escape" character in program languages)

Vexorian	in fact I am impressed that call didn't make world editor crash, maybe they fixed it in last patch. And yes, use "" to enclose strings and \\ instead of \

Zandose	Ok, I'll fix it. I just added in the // to give more information. It's not part of the copyed code.

Zandose	I just added the " at the start and end of the string and when i tired to save the editor crashed. lol Edit: Fixed. Sorry I misunderstood. I thought you ment use \\ instead of // for the comments. TY
