    Hello...

    Today, I read something about COFFEE as a possibility to write plugins for C4D. So, I decided to learn it. I've made some tutorials. After a while, the first example works. This very simple one:

      
main()  
{  
println("Hello World!");  
}

    But when I want to use other examples, I always get COFFEE Errors in the console window.

    F.ex.:

      
// Opens the above dialog with an exclamation mark icon  
var result = TextDialog("Hello World!", DLG_OKCANCEL + DLG_ICONEXCLAMATION);  
  
// Checks the result  
if (result == DLG_R_OK)  
{  
TextDialog("You pressed OK!", DLG_OK);  
}

    COFFEE ERROR!
    (124) Syntax Error
    File: test2.cof
    Line: 2
    Row: ~25

    I have tested a lot of examples, but I always get such errors like "(118) Variable or function expected". What's wrong?

    Did you put the code within a function block? You can't just have it stand-alone in the file. The simplest function block is the "main" you had in the first sample. A more interesting variant is to use MenuPlugin::Execute().
