I can't find my error in this...

Hmm maybe somebody can find my problem with this code. When it rry to run it it says it was expecting ")" but encountered end of the line.

Why doesn't this compiler tell you where the error is?

here is my code:

DrawLine x1+width-1,y1,x1+width-1,y1+height-1
DrawLine x1,y1+height-1,x1+width-1,y1+height-1
EndFunction

hold down shift key press up or down cursor key, that should show you where the cursor is (it does move to the error line, its just hard to see!)

Thank you for the help! I thought there was no error marking system. Thanks a bunch!

yeah it needs to highlight the line or have a more obvios cursor really.

yeah ya not kidding! simple things that often get missed and make all the difference...
