Error with phone message code

[margaretcatter]

Using this code viewtopic.php?f=51&t=40245&p=493223#p493223 and I'm trying to just make a back and forth simple text exchange. Below is my little bit of code.

Code: Select all

call phone_start

call message_start ("Karla", "Why don’t you have a lock on your phone? That’s like phone having 101 right here.")
call reply_message ("Eir", "Because it takes too long geez. Sometimes people are lazy aka mme and all I want to do is swipe and there it is. No fuss no muss.")
call message ("Karla", "Christ, how are you an adult?")
call reply_message ("Eir", "I ask myself that every day. One day I’m going to look up and realize I’m thirty and have no idea how that happened to me.")
call message("Karla", "It happens to the best of us.")
call reply_message("Karla", "Anyway i guess it’s a good thing that you don’t lock your phone. Also that in the year of twenty seventeen you have a landline. Like who even has one of those.")
call message("Eir" "It came with the apartment and its connected to my bell")
call reply_message("Karla" "I’m not judging its handy dandy for this exact moment.")

And this is the error I'm getting. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and google the error isnt giving me anything I can understand.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

[Per K Grok]

According to the error message reply_message only takes a what-argument

It would appear that instead of
call reply_message("person","message")

you should do
call reply_message("message")

I figured it out. I had to change something in the screens page
