Loose Indentation Error...

hazukiy · **Author**

Hi, I'm making a mod and I'm just cleaning up the code now, but I can't seem to figure out this error, here's the code that's giving me the error.

PHP Code:


			


   for(new X = 0; X <= 20; X = (X + 4))

Something on that line is making it give me a "Loose Indentation Error". Help would be appreciated, thanks.

Loose indentation means you're fluctuating between multiple indent (the space before each line) styles.

Code:

Things();
    Stuff();

That, basically. Things didn't make a new "block" for Stuff, so the indentation's loose; it changed for no reason. You can have any style of indentation you want (I'm pretty sure) but you have to stick with one in a block, else you get warnings like the one you're getting.

This all said, you didn't post any other line of your code, so we don't know what's different between the two; although if I had to guess, since that line has three spaces in front of it, either adding another space or replacing those three spaces with a tab might fix it.

If you're getting many of these (example: copying code from this forum uses spaces for indenting), Notepad++ has a feature to fix it for you: Menu bar -> TextFX -> TextFX Edit -> Reindent C++ code. All of the warnings will go away like magic.
