    init error: Invalid character

    Trying to set a scene with the script and getting the following error message.

    Apr-29 8:24:06 AM Error Running script(2) &hs.PluginFunction("BLAB8SS", "", "SetScene", {"Master Suite"}), init error: Invalid character

    Apr-29 8:24:06 AM System Control Panel Immediate Script: &hs.PluginFunction("BLAB8SS", "", "SetScene", {"Master Suite"})

    I've attached the debug log but don't see any issues in it, but then again, I'm no programmer. Any help would be appreciated.

    Try this:

    Code:
    &nhs.PluginFunction("BLAB8SS", "", "SetScene", new Object(){"Master Suite"})

        You need to start the line with &nhs.

          OK that seems to work, but don't understand the &nhs. command vs &hs. command Why is it necessary?

            It is a vb.net issue that happened in HS2 so Rich added &nhs in order to get it to work in HS3.
            Perhaps he can explain it better

              Well OK then. Thanks for the assist. Would that apply to all the scripting commands for the BLAB8SS plugin?

                Ugh!

                Just tried it in a new script and got the following.

                Apr-29 3:27:36 PM Error Compiling script C:\Program Files (x86)\HomeSeer HS3\scripts\test.vb: 'nhs' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.

                  In a script you do not need it but to run a script command from the control panel or an event you will need it
