So, I'm having quite a bit of trouble with some scripting errors. I only started scripting yesterday, but I've been part of the HCE Community for a while (even though I registered today).

Anyway, back to the point. Here is my script:

(script startup wave1
(ai_follow_target_players back_up)
(sleep 300)
(ai_place wave1)
(ai_magically_see_players wave1)
(sleep_until (= (ai_living_count wave1) 0) 15)
(wake wave2)
)


(script continuous back_up
(sleep_until (= (ai_living_count back_up) 0) 15)
(wake back_up_respawn)
)


(script dormant back_up_respawn
(sleep 900)
(ai_place back_up)
(ai_follow_target_players back_up)
)

(script dormant wave2
(sleep 300)
(ai_place wave2)
(ai_magically_see_players wave2)
(sleep_until (= (ai_living_count wave2) 0) 15)
(wake wave3)
)


(script dormant wave3
(sleep 300)
(ai_place wave3)
(ai_magically_see_players wave3)
(sleep_until (= (ai_living_count wave3) 0) 15)
(wake wave4)
)


(script dormant wave4
(sleep 300)
(ai_place wave4)
(ai_magically_see_players wave3)
(sleep_until (= (ai_living_count wave3) 0) 15)
(wake wave5)
)


(script dormant wave5
(sleep 300)
(object_create_anew c_gun)
(ai_place wave5)
(ai_magically_see_players wave5)
)


(script continuous weapon_change1
(sleep 30)
(object_destroy plasma_rifle)
(object_create shotgun)
(sleep 30)
(object_destroy shotgun)
(object_create needler)
(sleep 30)
(object_destroy needler)
(object_create plasma_pistol)
(sleep 30)
(object_destroy plasma_pistol)
(object_create pistol)
(sleep 30)
(object_destroy pistol)
(object_create rl)
(sleep 30)
(object_destroy rl)
(object_create plasma_rifle)
)


(script continuous weapon_change2
(sleep 30)
(object_destroy sniper_rifle)
(object_create s_smg)
(sleep 30)
(object_destroy s_smg)
(object_create plasma_cannon)
(sleep 30)
(object_destroy plasma_cannon)
(object_create spartanlaser)
(sleep 30)
(object_destroy spartanlaser)
(object_create b_plasma_rifle)
(sleep 30)
(object_destroy b_plasma_rifle)
(object_create assault_rifle)
(sleep 30)
(object_destroy assault_rifle)
(object_create sniper_rifle)
)

My problem is this:

[test_map line 7] this is not a valid script name.: wave2)
recompiling scripts after scenarios merged.
[test_map line 1] this left parenthesis is unmatched.: (script startup wave1

I have checked every single parenthesis in notepad++ so see if they match up, and they do. I don't understand why I keep receiving this error, but it seems that every time I add a (wake ) command, something like this happens. For example, after removing the wave scripts, even the back_up script gave me errors at the (wake back_up_respawn). Can anyone fix my script and explain why this is happening?

Also, I have two more problems. My hud messages do not compile at all, even after saving as unicode. Also, my weapon tags placed in my sp map test have 0 ammo when they are picked up. Can this be fixed?

Thank You in advance.

Put the dormant scripts before the startup. It doesn't know those scripts exist yet.

Thank you! It worked like a charm! However, is there anyway to make sp weapon tags to start out with ammo in them? Also, I still cannot get my hud messages file to work properly. It doesn't even compile.

Although I fixed my hud messages file before you responded, thank you for the weapon ammo advice. I didn't know you had to set them in Sapien.

You could do it in guerilla, but you have to place it first in sapien.
EDIT: I mean, you can see the weapons in the .scenario tag with guerilla.

Alright, thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
