wait why do you go to tools>batch compiler, nothing i ever read told me to do that. but yeah, ive gotten a new rom, used 2 different AMaps, used 3 different guides... all with the same outcome.. i appreciate you trying to help me man, it just sucks that i cant script anything successfully because i cant start on the game till i get this figured out. i mean why does the player still lock and face me... but no text box comes up? anyways like i said, thanks for the help, if you find anything that might possibly help me out, please let me know. but hey thanks again
