I don't know why, but in one of my spells using custom script, it seems not to want to load at all, saying there's something wrong with the .j file.
I don't get why this happened so i'll tell yuo everythign i did
1st i imported triggers from another map as templates
then i started making a new spell, and it was working fine, but i tried once after and all of a sudden, it stopped working and i have no idea why. If i take out the triggers for this new spell entirely then it works fine...here are the two triggers BTW.
Basically, it mimics that axe throw someone made a while back with a slight variation. From what i can tell, the only thing that keeps screwing it up is the custom script on the first trigger, but i'm confused about the second one.
There aren't any syntax errors, so why am i having this problem?
