it is telling me my left paren is unmatched, and I know it isn't so what does that indicate?

Show your script. It means that there is an error somewhere.

There's the problem. I understand why you think vehicle_gunner does that, but that's not how vehicle_gunner is used.

Just for future reference, vehicle_gunner returns the gunner biped of any vehicle specified as either an "object" or a "unit", which is what the "unit" in vehicle_gunner is for, not for bipeds. For example:

(unit_kill (vehicle_gunner g_warthog))

Would kill the gunner of g_warthog. It's a pretty useful command, but it's not what you want here.

What you do want here is "vehicle_test_seat" or "vehicle_test_seat_list":

(vehicle_test_seat_list "vehicle" "string" "object_list")
tests whether the named seat has an object in the object list

(vehicle_test_seat "vehicle" "string" "unit")
tests whether the named seat has a specified unit in it

For the "list" one, you could use "(players)" for "object_list" since it's an SP map with only one player and there would be less to type, but if you want to refer to player 0 specifically then you use the non-list one. So, here's that line of code fixed:

(sleep_until (= (vehicle_test_seat "vehicle name" "seat label" (unit (list_get (players) 0))) 1) 15)

Just fill in "vehicle name" and "seat label" because I don't know what vehicle you meant to test for.

I'm assuming its warthog. Replace the seat label with W-Gunner.
