I am making a script for the begining of my single player map but Im getting errors. I used Noobyourmom's RPG tutorial for this.

Most of the errors are from the begining. If you see problems with it point them out for me and tell me how to fix them.

Fortunately, I sometimes visit the forum. :)

Line 4: You need to specify a number for how often the sleep_until command checks. Also, you have an extra parenthesis.
(sleep_until (or (= (player_action_test_zoom) true) (= (player_action_test_action) true)) add a number here)) <--extra close parenthesis

Line 13: I believed you mispelled "contingency" as "costingency," unless the name of the file is actually costingency.

Check each line to make sure you have an equal number of open and close parenthesis. Also, if you have any other problems, post the error. With some experience, you can usually find the bad line from the error message.

[cut line [6] the value of this expression (in a slot) can never be used.: 1)
recompiling scripts after scenarios were merged.
[cut line 1] this left parenthesis is unmatched.: (script startup cut

I got this when doing line 4.
The Winter Contingency part is spelled correctly, well that's how the tag's name is spelled.
Also could you please tell me the script you used for the beginning of e10, the one that you choose your difficulty. I setup hud messages for them, but it's just the script that I don't know. (The stuff in the beginning was me trying to get it setup but I don't really know how.)

I think some of the if commands were unnecessary and repetitive, unless I am just being blinded by the compressed formatting. You can reduce these by using begin commands under the if commands.

I'm guessing you have unmatched parenthesis. You'd have to paste the revised script for me to know for sure.

I no longer have the scripts. In psuedocode:

1. Check to see what difficulty it is, put up a hud message saying the difficulty and asking if you want to change it

2. Stop the script if they don't want to change

3. If they do want to change, put up a prompt telling what inputs will give easy, normal, heroic and legendary.

4. Have four if statements changing the difficulty depending on the input

5. Reload the map for change to take affect.

If you actually want the scripts, you can check with skidrow and see if he still has them.
