Hi - I am trying to update a game which has not been done so for a while. In particular, I want to change the online high score table to a different server (which is like one or two lines in the original program). Of course some time has passed and the latest version of GameMaker is different and displays many syntax errors - however, many of them are of a common theme. I have some questions:
There are a number of messages like "this variable has only been referenced once" - is this an error that stops the program from running? Also why does this matter now?
The program does not like me using variables such as global.HighScoreNames - why is this now an issue? Is GameMaker no longer accepting global variables?
Why is there a section for variable definitions on the objects? I don't ever remember seeing this before.
There are also two errors headed "macro GM_build_date is unused" and "macro GM_version is unused"! This looks something completely new. Is this a message which will stop the program from compiling?
Thanks for any comments!
