4. Error Code List

Error Code List


  • Apologies if there has been answered somewhere else, but I can't find a list anywhere.

    Is there a list of error codes and meanings somewhere? When I spawn a creep, I know that -6 means there are not enough resources to spawn it. However, I get a -3 quite frequently and I'm not sure what that is. For a while, I thought it meant that the spawn was busy, but I attempted to manually spawn a harvester (2 x work, 2 x carry, 2 x move) while the spawn was idle and got -3.

    Is there a list? If not, does anyone know what -3 is?

    Thanks,

    vt


  • The ERR_ constants near the top of this tall page are your answer.

    Also, this would have been hinted at (but not explicitly stated) in the very first tutorial steps. The line that says: "if(creep.harvest(sources[0]) == ERR_NOT_IN_RANGE)". It's checking the return value against a constant. You just need to find the definition of the constants.


  • Excellent! Thanks for your help! Not sure I can reconcile the error I'm getting with what the code is, but maybe I missed that name in memory...

     

    Thanks again,

  • suggestion: create a new file where you copy paste the error definitions into.

     

    i did that and can quickly look up what the error/issue is
