Hey all,
Back after long absence. Tried opening my WIP in 5Z71 but get this
crazy error:

In Part SR2 - Variables and Rulebooks, Section SR2/9 - The Entire Game
scene:

Problem. In the sentence 'The Entire Game ends when the game is
over' , it looks as if you intend 'the game is over' to be a
condition, but that would mean comparing two kinds of value which
cannot mix - device and skyway - so this must be incorrect.
Problem. You wrote 'The Entire Game ends when the game is over' : but
'begins when' and 'ends when' must be followed by a condition, which
this does not seem to be.
See the manual: 10.2 > Creating a scene

When I click the link to be taken to the error, it just takes me to an
empty page. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Biagio

Does your WIP define anything called a skyway? That would be the first
place to look.

The fact that the manual page is empty, on the other hand, suggests that
I7 has not installed correctly. Have you tried uninstalling and
reinstalling?

I'm going to guess that you're using the Mac IDE. The error seems to
be a conflict between your code and the Standard Rules, and the Mac
IDE is broken when it comes to following links to extensions from an
error message. I assume this will be fixed in the new version (I
reported it in the first days after 5Z71 was released), but for now
you don't want to follow any links that lead to extensions, only to
your own code.
