After literally hours and hours of trying to get a simple script working, i've given up and decided to let the community help me. Anyways, basically what i'm trying to do is "replace" flashlight for active camouflage, but i'm getting a lot of errors from sapien and i don't even think i'm doing my scripts right...

(script continuous flash_camo
(if (= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0))) true)
(cheat_all_powerups)
(unit_set_desired_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0)) false)
(sleep 700)
)
)

Sapien error:
11.06.11 13:59:08 i expected (if <condition> <then> [<else>]).: (if (= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0)) false)(cheat_all_powerups)(sleep 700))))

I've already edited globals.globals and set all_powerups to only spawn active camo, then i edited active camo so that it has a larger "bounding radius" so it takes effect immediately rather than trying to find where the powerup spawned. This all worked perfectly in-game when i used cheat_all_powerups, it's just the script i need help with.

I guess i'm using the wrong type of scripts, according to halo script bible the description of unit_get_current_flashlight_state doesn't look like it matches what i did here, but i just can't work out any other better ways

EDIT:: Never mind. My friend kirby_422 on xfire fixed it for me. I'll just post it as a reference in case someone else might want to do something similar to what i'm doing

(script continuous flash_camo
(sleep_until (= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0))) true) 10)
(cheat_all_powerups)
(unit_set_desired_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0)) false)
(sleep 700)
)
