More scripting frustration

[Unseelie]

I am getting the following error with the files I am currently working with and I can't figure out what's wrong with the script.

Hero Lab was forced to stop compilation after the following errors were detected:

Syntax error in 'eval' script for Thing 'raKPInfDer' (Eval Script '#1') on line 6
-> Error in right-side expression of assignment

  <thing id="raKPInfDer" name="Infiltrator" description="The derro gains a +2 racial bonus on Disguise checks to pose as a diseased dwarf, gnome, or human child and, when doing so, ignores the check penalties for disguising oneself as a different race and age category.  This racial trait replaces the ghost sound spell-like ability." compset="AltRaceTrt" uniqueness="unique">

I'm suspicious of the directional quotation marks on that line - see if using " works. Or maybe just convert the directional quotation marks to a normal ".

Either that or convert the whole eval script to a <![CDATA[ ]]> block, and go back to using normal &, <, >, etc. signs, instead of the weird versions you have to use if it's not set as <![CDATA[

This is the line it don't like:

Text = signed(field[abValue].value) & “ bonus on Disguise checks to pose as a diseased dwarf, gnome, or human child. Ignore check penalty to disguise self as different race or age, when doing so.”

Those quotes to me look like something that was pasted in from a word document. They don't look like standard quotes.

try this instead pasting in from the editor not into the XML:

Text = signed(field[abValue].value) & " bonus on Disguise checks to pose as a diseased dwarf, gnome, or human child. Ignore check penalty to disguise self as different race or age, when doing so."

You can also just shorten the code by doing this:

~ If we're disabled, do nothing
doneif (tagis[Helper.SpcDisable] = 1)

~ Set situational text onto Disguise.
#situational[hero.childfound[skDisguise], signed(field[abValue].value) & " bonus on Disguise checks to pose as a diseased dwarf, gnome, or human child. Ignore check penalty to disguise self as different race or age, when doing so." ,field[thingname].text]

I hadn't considered that the text got polluted with a copy paste... I'll tweak the quoting. Thanks for the other advice as well. I'll give it a try.
