Okay, so in my map, I have it so when the player enters an area a water monster will spawn, but I'm having an issue with the script. This is my script:



When I load the map I'm getting an error at 13,1 saying theres an unexpected token, so I'd like to know what I did wrong.

Thanks for any help in advance.

void OnEnter()

void SpawnWaterMonster(string& asName, bool abActive);
{
SetEntityActive("waterlurker_1", true);
ShowEnemyPlayerPosition("waterlurker_1");
}

void OnLeave()

}

I found three errors.
1) Your syntax for the function is incorrect. You had string &in asName, bool abActive. Those are just parameters used for the specific functions. The callback syntax for AddEntityCollideCallback would be string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState.

2) int AlState at the ned of AddEntityCollideCallback needs to be a 1, 0, or -1, with 1 when the area is entered, -1 when the area is left, and 0 for both.

3) I assume you wanted the function only to be called once, so your false parameter within AddEntityCollideCallback needed to be true.

Even with the corrections, I'm still getting the unexpected token at 13,1 (the '{' after the 'Void SpawnWaterMonster)

Derp. Just caught on to what I missed. There's a semi-colon after void SpawnWaterMonster. Remove that.
