Error: Line 4 is incomplete.... Created 17 years ago2006-07-26 09:57:00 UTC by Blitzkrieg

"Error: Line 4 is incomplete (did you place a " inside an entity string?) "

Thats the only error that showed up in the log, almost immediately after compiling started. What is it, but more importantly, how do I kill it?

Thanks,
Blitz

did you place a " inside an entity string?

Seriously, you have no idea?

It says: did you place a quotation mark in an entity string. An entity string a field where you type a value, like the name of a func_door, or the message text of a game_text.

Find the entity with a quotation mark in one of its properties and remove the quotation mark.

That sounds fun! I hope he doesn't have like a billion entities...

yeah, i had this once.. I had an env_message with quotation marks

That's simple, but I dont remember naming any entities with quotation marks. That's why I asked. I'll double check though.

Yup, no entities with names or targets that have quotation marks. Besides, the last time I pompiled it it was fine, and I've only added two more entities, func_illusionarys.

It's getting less simple

ZOMG.

I saved the map as something else, deleted EVERY entity, and compiled it to see if Hammer truly does hate me. Guess what message I got again...

(did you place a " inside an entity string?)

But, I deleted every entity

Why does everything I touch die?

You can open up your .map file in notepad, and go to line 4. See if there's anything suspicious.

Thank you!!!!!!!

It wasn't an entity string, in the map info I had

de_struggle2 by Ryan McGlynn aka "Blitzkrieg". Clan Heavy Metal... blah blah blah

Those must have been the quotation marks, because I removed them and it worked!

The map info field is also an entity string...

Wow, never knew that...
Then again, I don't know much about mapping...

the map properties options are actually just showing you the fields of the 'worldspawn' entity which exists in every map.
