Invalid escape character sequence

Hi all,

I am trying to use a fade filter for my map. However it gives me an error when I try to save it:

"Invalid escape character sequence".

I was able to use this with the normal WE without problems. After installing NEWGEN with EGUI however, I seem to keep receiving errors with this action.

Does anybody know a fix?

This error occurs when you use '\' in path string. If you want to use backslash, you have to write '\\'.
Hope it helps :)

Eh? Its a GUI action. How to use // when its GUI?
Click to expand...

Trigger:
  • Example
    • Events
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • -------- This is useless text that doesn't do anything at all but is just here for fun? --------


In the GUI Action list 2nd from the top is 'Comment' which I believe is the same as // is in Jass.

It's not // but \\ . And I don't know if it's is your case, I know it makes same error.
Try to "remake" functions that use path strings, for example Special effects.

No, you misunderstand.

What I'm saying is that a GUI action is causing my map to crash:

Fade Filter: Create a black mask etc etc

It gives me an error: "Invalid escape character sequence", hence the thread title. So I'm asking for a fix.

Then skippy says:

"This error occurs when you use '\' in path string. If you want to use backslash, you have to write '\\'."

So I responded with a "Eh? How do you use // in GUI?" This basically means "It is impossible to be a // error because the GUI action doesn't allow me to use '/'."

@skippy
I dont use JASS. Its a fade filter thats giving me the problem. And its in GUI. Cant use \\ or //.

And I did try remaking. Didnt work.

It's more likely that the path of the filter itself is typed incorrectly.

Trigger? One action causes it.

Trigger:
  • Cinematic - Fade out and back in over 2.00 seconds using texture White Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
