"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...

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 :confused:

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 :aghast: :aghast:

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!!!!!!! :heart:

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! :biggrin:

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.
