I tried "fixing it" to best of my ability's but now I get a new error. "FATAL ERROR: Could not load script file (my custom story) main (22, 21) : ERR : Expected data type.

From what you said I did this to try and fix it.

AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "LightOff", "LightFlicker_1", true, 1);




void LightFlicker_1("LightOff", false)
{
SetLightFlickerActive("LightOff", false);
}



I feel so needy posting for help, but as I said I've literally been scripting for only about 19 hours now so I'm a complete noob at it ;/
In the void part you messed up. If your using a script area to call upon that function it should be:

AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "LightOff", "LightFlicker_1", true, 1);




void LightFlicker_1(string &in asParent, string &in asChild, int alState)
{
SetLightFlickerActive("LightOff", false);
}

And don't feel bad, getting use to the script takes some time. For some, they catch onto it right away. About 48 hours after being introduced to the new language I had a a pretty solid grasp of it. Feel free to ask if any more errors persist, but i think that it should work now. Also here's a useful website!
