[erys]

does someone knows why do I get this error ?
Objet : oPlayer Événement : Étape à la ligne 48 : unexpected symbol "else" in expression

if (!place_meeting(x, y + 1, oMur))
{
            sprite_index = sHuntress_Idle;
            {
            else
            {
                sprite_index = sHuntress_Jump;
            }
        }
}

You're using else, but it doesn't make sense in the context you're using it. else can only follow after an if on the same level.

Pay close attention to your opening and curly braces. Opening another one when you're supposed to close one won't work.

 

[Fanatrick]

if (EXPRESSION)
{
    // do things
}
else
{
    // do different things
}

This is the syntax you're supposed to be using as per documentation pages. F1 key opens these documentation pages inside GameMaker Studio.

// I think it would be like this:

if (!place_meeting(x, y + 1, oMur))
{
    sprite_index = sHuntress_Jump;
}
else
{
    sprite_index = sHuntress_Idle;
}
