Scripting an Alert

[Kaiviti57]

I would like to add an alert to my indicator and the below screen shot shows what I have done. However, I keep getting an error message on compile saying that 'Alert' is a property but is being used like a 'method'.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello Kaiviti57,

Alert is a method and not a bool.
You cannot use Alert() in a condition. if (Alert) is not going to compile.

This means it uses parenthesis.
Alert(string id, Priority priority, string message, string soundLocation, int rearmSeconds, Brush backBrush, Brush foreColor)

Below is a link to the help guide.
