Vexorian	The error is in the blah lines, sometimes the editor tells you an error but shows the line that is after the error instead of the line that is on the erro

KaTTaNa	Try showing us the code above that line. It looks like you have a syntax problem in the function before that one.

Guest	Try to take a screenshot of the trigger instead. Then it would be easier to find the bug.

Code:

function UseDS takes nothing returns nothing
    if ( Trig_Use_Demonic_Sence_Func001C() ) then
        local effect a

a thing

The if is your problem. There can't be any code before the declaration of local variables (except other local variables and function blah takes blah returns blah) in a function.

BTW you might want to get rid of the else in the if. The GUI automaticly generates else even if you don't put anything in it.

Also, you can set local variables when you declare them. Example:

local location PointOfDoom=GetRectCenter(gg_rct_Region_001)
