I'm following a tutorial to make a cutscene even better, but I ran into this error

02.22.10 21:25:10  i expected a script or variable definition.: ÿþ(
02.22.10 21:25:10  recompiling scripts after scenarios were merged.
02.22.10 21:25:10  i expected a script or variable definition.: ÿþ(

And here is my script:

(script startup liftcutscene
(begin
(sleep_until (volume_test_objects lift (players)) 5) 
(fade_out 1 1 1 30)
(player_enable_input 0)
(sleep 60)
(volume_teleport_players_not_inside lift hideplayers) 
(cinematic_start)
(cinematic_show_letterbox 1)
(object_create_anew elite)
(camera_control 1)
(camera_set d1 0)
(sleep 30)
(fade_in 1 1 1 30)
(ai_attach elite lift)
(ai_command_list_by_unit elite lift)
(sleep 90)
(camera_set d2 80)
(sleep 60)
(camera_set d3 80)
(ai_command_list_advance_by_unit elite)
(sleep 60)
(camera_set d4 80)
(sleep 60)
(ai_command_list_advance_by_unit elite)
(sleep 60)
(fade_out 1 1 1 30)
(sleep 30)
(object_destroy elite)
(camera_control 0)
(volume_teleport_players_not_inside lift showplayers) 
(cinematic_show_letterbox 0)
(cinematic_stop)
(sleep 30)
(fade_in 1 1 1 30)
(player_enable_input 1)
)
)

What did I do wrong?

a) Remove the (begin at the beginning, and the closing parentheses at the end. It may cause problems later on.
b) You seem to have used the same name for the command list and the AI encounter. Rename one of them so they aren't the same.

Hey, thanks! Also, is there a script command that will only continue if all the ai in an encounter are dead?

(sleep_until (= (ai_living_count [AI ENCOUNTER]) 0) 15)

Thanks again! You're my new best friend.

Gamma927 is everyones best friend! When it comes to halo, he's the intelligable one!!

And this is why I do not envy him.

Sometimes you just have to be random to get through the day!
