CityEngine - Rule File Unexpected Token

[ÓrlaHammond]

Hi there,

I'm having a problem with a rule file I inherited. The original rule file was written for CityEngine 2016. I would like to update it so it runs in CityEngine 2020.

I am getting a recurring error: Unexpected token. This error is repeated throughout the code wherever there is a decimal value.

A snippet of the code throwing the error is below and I have attached a screenshot of the errors.

Any and all help is appreciated!

Lot1 -->
	#Where there is no commercial in the suburb and the % of residential buildings is >0
	case NoCommercialInSuburb == "No Commercial" && PercentBuildingsResid > 0 :
		set(Ground_Floor_Resid, "GroundFloorResid")
		set(First_Floor_Resid, "FirstFloorResid")
		set(PercentUpperFloorResid, 1)
	    Lot1.5
	    
# Default method of allocating floorspace between residential and non-residential is to do so by floor. 
# This code below checks the ResidAllocationMethod parameter and switches the allocation method to building by building instead.
	case ResidAllocationMethod == "By building" && (FixedRandomNumber/100) <= PercentBuildingsResid :
		set(Ground_Floor_Resid, "GroundFloorResid")
		set(First_Floor_Resid, "FirstFloorResid")
		set(PercentUpperFloorResid, 1)
		Lot1.5	

	case ResidAllocationMethod == "By building" && (FixedRandomNumber/100) > PercentBuildingsResid :
		set(Ground_Floor_Resid, "GroundFloorNonResid")
		set(First_Floor_Resid, "FirstFloorNonResid")
		set(PercentUpperFloorResid, 0)
	   Lot1.5	
		
	else :
		Lot1.5

I think CityEngine uses the decimals in text strings to find file paths.   You might do a quick find/replace of "Lot1.5" to "LotB" and see if that solve your problems.

For example:

import Complete_Streets <file path>

call the rule:   Complete_Streets.Sidewalks     or Complete_Streets.Streets

Hi Brian,

That seems to have solved my problem. 

Thanks for your help!
