Unexplained compile error (Im discombobulated)

Alright.... please dont leech this script kay?

Im working on an example script... just by looking at it you can probably tell what it is.... anyway, Im getting an error that I cant figure out at all:

Line 33: [Error] (37:14): Unknown identifier 'chance' in script rpginclude.txt

heres the main script "rpg.scar"

Code:

program RPG;

{.include rpginclude.txt}



//Readys the monster list for usage
Procedure declaremonsters;
begin
m[1]:='Wolf'
m[2]:='Bat'
m[3]:='Spider'
m[4]:='Rouge'
m[5]:='Spirit'
m[6]:='Slime'
m[7]:='Soul Collecter'
m[8]:='Reaper'
m[9]:='Mage'
m[10]:='Swordsman'
m[11]:='Dwarf'
m[12]:='Elf'
m[13]:='Bowman'
m[14]:='Valkrie'
m[15]:='Sythe'
end;






procedure start;
begin
writeln('           //////////////////////////////////')
writeln('/////////////    Welcome to RPG By ZFaith  /////////////')
writeln('           //////////////////////////////////')
wait(5000)
anim('You face the opening to an unknown dungeon...')
anim('You face the opening to an unknown dungeon...')
anim('You face the opening to an unknown dungeon...')
repeat
wait(random(200))//(creates a flicker effect)
anim('Press F11 to enter the dungeon.')
until(isfkeydown(11)=true)
anim('You warily enter the dungeon- sword in hand.')
anim('You warily enter the dungeon- sword in hand.')
end;

writeln('Please Wait While RPG by ZFAITH compiles...')
wait(5000)
anim('Loading')
declarestats;
anim('Loading')
declaremonsters;
anim('Loading')
start
end.

and heres the include code "rpginclude.scar"

Code:

var
monsterint:integer;
monst:string;
m:array [1..15] of string;
chance,at,st,df,es,hp,hitpoints:integer;


procedure declarestats;
begin
//STATS\\

DF:= 1;
ES:= 1;

//STATS\\
end;

function anim(text:string):boolean;
var
t:integer;
begin
result:=true
repeat
writeln(text)
writeln('-')

 begin

 end;
if monsterint<1 then
 begin
 monsterint:=8
 end;
end;


procedure idle;
var
answer:string;prob:integer;
begin
prob:=random(chance)
anim('...you venture further into the dungeon...')
anim('...you venture further into the dungeon...')
anim('...you venture further into the dungeon...')
if prob = 3 then
 begin
getmonster;
monst:=m[monsterint]
hitpoints:=random(hp)
if hitpoints = 0 then
 begin
 hitpoints:= 7
 end;
writeln('You have encountered a level '+inttostr(hitpoints)+' '+monst+'!')
wait(3000)
cleardebug
anim('Get Ready')
answer:=readln('What do you want to do? type "Run" or "Fight"')
if answer = 'run' then
 begin
 cleardebug
 anim('You run away...')
 idle
 end;
if answer = 'fight' then
 begin
 cleardebug
 //fight
 end;
repeat
wait(random(200))//(creates a flicker effect)
anim('Press F11 to veture further.')
until(isfkeydown(11)=true)
end;

It was working awesome until I ended up with conflicting procedures. It would be awesome if you could make scar call procedures from anywhere in the script- not having to put succeeding procedures above one another to avoid processing errors. I dont even know if this is possible though.

Help greatly appreciated- thanks!

Well im not sure why you made an include when you could have just put it all together, but thats OK.

I put it all into 1 script and it compiled fine. Just a small error with the procedure "Idle"

Code:

program New;
var
monsterint:integer;
monst:string;
m:array [1..15] of string;
chance,at,st,df,es,hp,hitpoints:integer;


procedure declarestats;
begin
//STATS\\
HP:= 10;
AT:= 1;
ST:= 1;
DF:= 1;
ES:= 1;
chance:= 7; // The probability (1:7 default) that you will encounter a monster.

//STATS\\
end;

function anim(text:string):boolean;
var
t:integer;
begin
result:=true
repeat
writeln(text)
writeln('-')
wait(100)
cleardebug;
writeln(text)
writeln('\')
wait(100)
cleardebug;
writeln(text)
writeln('|')
wait(100)
cleardebug;
writeln(text)
writeln('/')
t:=t+1
wait(100)
cleardebug;
until(t=5)
end;

procedure getmonster;
begin
monsterint:=random(15)
if monsterint>15 then
 begin
 monsterint:=7
 end;
if monsterint<1 then
 begin
 monsterint:=8
 end;
end;


procedure idle;
var
answer:string;prob:integer;
begin
  prob:=random(chance)
  anim('...you venture further into the dungeon...')
  anim('...you venture further into the dungeon...')
  anim('...you venture further into the dungeon...')
  if prob = 3 then
  begin
    getmonster;
    monst:=m[monsterint]
    hitpoints:=random(hp)
    if hitpoints = 0 then
      hitpoints:= 7
    writeln('You have encountered a level '+inttostr(hitpoints)+' '+monst+'!')
    wait(3000)
    cleardebug
    anim('Get Ready')
    answer:=readln('What do you want to do? type "Run" or "Fight"')
    if answer = 'run' then
    begin
      cleardebug
      anim('You run away...')
      idle
    end;
    if answer = 'fight' then
    begin
      cleardebug
      //fight

You probably want to use scripting standards, as it's easier to find errors then.

And to make it so you can call procedures below you, we use the forward command:

Code:

//This will NOT work!
program New;

Procedure Two;
Begin
  Writeln('Im trying to call the procedure below me!');
  One;
end;

Procedure one;
Begin
  Writeln('Procedure one called!');
end;

begin
  Two;
end.

Code:

//this WILL work
program New;

Procedure one; forward;

Procedure Two;
Begin
  Writeln('Im trying to call the procedure below me!');
  One;
end;

Procedure one;
Begin
  Writeln('Procedure one called!');
end;

begin
  Two;
end.

Hope that helps

 

that's awesome. Thanks man. You have no idea how much you helped- im lazy lol.
