ok well this is the error that it gets me when I load the map

Code: (Select All)

FATAL ERROR: Could not load script file 'custom_stories/Lifeless_The Abandon/maps/Mansion.hps'!
main (21, 16) : ERR  : Expected data type

what does that even mean?

can you guys help me and tell me If you can see where the error is pls, I really do understand some errors but not this one, what does "expected data type" even mean? pls help

In a "void" function line you want only string &in OR int alStates between the brackets. If i am correct, "double quotes" cause a crash in a void function line.
Plus, a good way to solve the error is taking a look at the FATAL ERROR message, when it says (21, 16) it gives the location of the error in your script. So if you use Notepad++ or Geany, it says the row (21) and the letter in the row (, 16) where the error is located.

Another good tip that i have is to look at http://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/amn..._functions at the scripts which call a function. For example an collidecallback between you and a sript area, it will say under the line: Callback syntax: void MyFunc(string &in asName, int alCount) . The correct void function is always listed under the callback line so just copy paste that one .
