simple syntax error

I get a syntax error in the seond line of the following code:

vector eul = <0,0,45>; //45 degrees around the z-axis, in Euler form
eul = eul * DEG_TO_RAD; //convert to radians
rotation ROTATION = llEuler2Rot(eul); //convert to quaternion

It's almost a copy from the llEuler2Rot example in the LSLwiki. All very simple but it seems to be wrong.
Can anybody see the error?

thanx,
Lackern Eucken (a newbie at scripting)

rotation ROTATION = llEuler2Rot(eul); //convert to quaternion


Probably this, since you're trying to use a reserved keyword as a variable name.

Thanx for the response.
Tried an other variable name but doesnt change the error message. The syntax error is in the second line, at the "=".

It compiles for me.

Can you put the rest of the script up, there's something silly in there... hmm, if this is all above the default statement, it's complaining because you are not directly assigning a global variable, you're trying to code a change to a global you've declared in a "reserved space" where you can only assign, not calculate.

I got it to compile whilst in the state_entry() event with no bother, which is what makes me think you're misusing the declaration space.

ROTATION is not a reserved word btw, rotation is, and the compiler is case sensitive.

Didn't catch that. Thanks for clarifying.

Thanks for the help!

It turned out I can not do any calculations outside a state_entry or any kind of function or what do you call it. One can only initialize variables...

So i moved all the lines with calculations into the stat_entry part.
So the code was ok, but only in the wrong position, like you suggested, Eloise.

I hope I make myself intelligible.

Thanks,
