Help! Really Want To Try This Window Script, What Am I Doing Wrong?!

[Nima Benoir]

Hi, first let me say many thanks for your help in advance! I'm not a scripter, but am dying to try this out, so any and all help is deeply appreciated!

I have an open source Yadni script  that consists of a window tint controller and a secondary script that goes into the windows themselves. It's suppose to make all windows controllable separately, (by floor I mean, front, back  lower and upper,

etc. ) but when I try to uncomment as the script instructs, I get this when I try to save it...

(The running box is usually checked don't know why it's not here)

Now I know you're all going to see this and think, "what a spaz!" :womanembarrassed: but please can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Here are both scripts:

Controller:

WINDOW CONTROLLER

Again many thanks!!

It looks like you should only be uncommenting one of those lines 36 to 42, depending on which area you are making windows for.  The script doesn't like you uncomment two of them as this attempts to define chan twice, hence the error.

Commenting means having // at the start of the line ... so all but one of those lines should start with //.

Kimm.

You need to uncomment the chan for the layer and then the same one in the window script

That way the window will only listen to that specific controller
