Adding the "begin" doesn't necessarily accomplish anything. You shouldn't add "begins" everywhere you feel like it, unless there's a specific situation. In fact, you can go through an entire script, without adding begins except for if clauses and certain others.

if when I wrote this

(ai_follow_target_players follow_chief)

does that make "follow_chief" is the encounter or the squad?

Encounter. To refer to the squad, you would add a dash after the encounter, and then add the squad's name. A single word reference always refers to the encounter.

like this?

(script startup begin
         (begin
                    (ai_follow_target_players follow_chief-.-arby_follow_chief)
                    (ai_follow_target_players follow_chief-.-follow_chief)
               )
)

What's '-.-'?

Oh, and above, I meant backslash.

im confuse

Use a backslash to separate the AI encounter and the squad.

you mean like this?

(script startup begin
         (begin
                    (ai_follow_target_players follow_chief--arby_follow_chief)
                    (ai_follow_target_players follow_chief--follow_chief)
               )
)

That's not a backslash...

You know, there's something called "Google". You can search "backslash" if you don't know what it means.

A backslash is "/" as in (ai_follow_target_players follow_chief/arby_follow_chief)
