Leading 0's error

[HarmonyConcept]

So this might sound a bit weird, but I just tested it in clean v17.1.

Used in an event, this single line works fine:

pbSetSelfSwitch([COLOR="red"]003[/COLOR],"A",true,2)

Whereas this one doesn't:

pbSetSelfSwitch([COLOR="Red"]008[/COLOR],"A",true,2)

It returns the following error:

Spoiler:

Exception: RuntimeError
Message: Script error within event 16 (coords 26,1), map 3 (Red's house):
Exception: SyntaxError
Message: (eval):1:in `pbExecuteScript'compile error
(eval):1: syntax error
pbSetSelfSwitch(008,"A",true,002)

It looks like some Event numbers return this error (the only thing to change to reproduce this is to try different Event numbers).
I tested some more or less random numbers.
Those numbers return the error message:
008,009,018,029,087,097
Those are working fine:
007,026,047,052,100,118

I have no idea why it gives different results, but reproducing this should not be too hard.

You don't need leading zeroes for numbers. Just say 8 rather than 008.

Ruby interprets numbers with leading zeros as octal representation, so any digit higher than 7 is illegal

Oh well thank you for the information! It makes sense now.
