Cannot Import script

[gg80108]

Tried to import but got a message compile errors have to be fixed.. This was the first time I tried to add script since install,,\
Went in and tried to compile something , gave me the attached bad boys... I said " import" when I installed.. Do i need to delete these?

Here ya go....

Please go to the References and press Add and add one for NinjaTrader.Vendor.dll. It is located in your Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom folder. Then go ahead and recompile.

Added,, went back to compile and came up with error, that add dll is missing.

Can you please provide the exact text of the new error message? Thank you.

ok,, that vendor.dll got added to references and now everything compiles.. Went to import an indicator (attachment) but get an Import failed.. method names already exist on your PC... Wonder if this is looking at the 6.5 since I want to import the same custom indicators I have there???

Copied the ZigZagUTC.cs into the 7 indicator folder,, compiled and came up with a drawline error????

Also notice that when compiling is successful no little "success" box pops up in 7 like it does in 6...

For sure there is no confusion between 6.5 and 7. Josh will follow up with you on Monday.

Don,

Reason you can't import is because the script you have is not NT7 compatible. When you copied the file directly you saw errors that need to be addressed in the code to become NT7 compatible. Please change the signature method being used by your DrawLine() codes to get it compatible. You can see the Help Guide article on DrawLine() for NT7 to see allowable signatures.

NT7 has removed the successfully generated message box to remove repetitive steps in the development process of NinjaScript.

Line 150 fixes line 119

OK,, need another parm for the draw line,, but check this out the compiler says line 119 is bad, even though it is blank,, when I fix line 150 (put a false in where the cursor is,,, this fixes line 119 too!!!! This code was attached below...

gg80108,

It could be the case as things downstream can impact the evaluation checking of other parts of the code. Generally speaking as you knock out various bugs it will knock out several others if the original error was impacted by the bug.

hi
Having same problem while importing zigzag utc.
How could i solve this DrawLine() errror.Any ideas

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

easyfying,

Please change the DrawLine() signature method to one used in NT7: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...7/drawline.htm

DrawLine not working for me in NT7

I followed the link but can't get the joy,
Could it be because I am using tenthpip?

A = int bars ago
BarsAgo = int bars long ago
MDF = int 10 (really 1 pip cause I am using tenthpip)

DrawLine("low"+CurrentBar, false, BarsAgo, Low[BarsAgo] - (TickSize*MDF), A, Low[A] - (TickSize*MDF), Color.Green, DashStyle.DashDotDot, 3);

Signature is this right?
DrawLine(string tag, bool autoScale, int startBarsAgo, double startY, int endBarsAgo, double endY, Color color, DashStyle dashStyle, int width)
