So I am working on my custom story and I have a scripted sequence that is set to start 1 second after player collides with a script area.

I will qoute the file below, upon entering the map it says there is some kind of error with the signature on the AddEntityCollideCallback that I have, I don't see anything wrong with it. granted im not a pro scripter

Please help! I have put alot of work into what I have so far and want to keep making progress on it so i can put it up on ModDB. Please and thank you for your help

you placed it the wrong way ''}''

When you add script functions, without using it. The error wont show what the problem is. sometime...

Actually, the problem is that you are missing an "l" in AddEntityCollideCallback:

Thanks Im horrible when it comes to those stupid brackets lol

PHP Code:

AddLocalVarInt("iIntroPart", 1);
float partSpeed = 1.5f;
switch (GetLocalVarInt("iIntroPart"))

Your bracketing on the switch statement is fine.

Wait What ?
When i do this.

}
AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "ChaseStart", "ChaseStartFunc", true, 1);
}

Will the trigger be not active.
Second when you got fatal error, you cannot find where the problem is. mostly..
When you getting a fatal error check first on bracketing. It saves you time believe me.

Syntactically, the braces were fine: the interpreter will always throw bracketing errors before any errors to do with function signatures. If you re-read the first post you will notice that the error reported is a function signature error. If a bracketing error occurs the interpreter will not look for errors past that stage and as such a bracketing error could not have been the source of the problem reported. If you want to test this, try:
Even though "Invalid_Function_Name(int)" is not defined, that error is not reported as the bracketing error takes precedence. If I altered the code in some way and an error about that function signature was reported, the brackets therefore, must be fine / have been fixed.
