Still getting the error,
What does a syntax error mean actually ?

@Litchi: We're basically a scripting club that help people learn how to script. You can find our main topic over here:

http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index....showtopic=35685

[Amnesiah]

Are the Script Builders like a little club here?

Something like that,
they help people to learn scripting,
giving advice and solving problems.

To be honest,
they're awesome
