(SOLVED) Help setting EVs through a script

[Sykofun11]

I'm trying to use this post from the simple modifications: https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/simple-modifications-directory.416647/post-10162417
but I'm getting an error when making the ROM that says it's an undefined reference to 'SetEVs'.

I'm using poryscript and doing call(SetEVs) but can't figure out why it doesn't recognize the new script in event_scripts.s

Edit: some weird formatting error happened that changed the spelling and its fixed now

You can't use Poryscript's own syntax in a file like data/event_scripts.s, which is not a .pory file.
What you can do is to make a new "event_scripts.pory" file inside your project's data folder, and then .include the .inc version of that file inside event_scripts.s.

In other words, you'll want to do something like dropping in a .include "data/scripts/event_scripts.inc" in data/event_scripts.s and then make a new data/scripts/event_scripts.pory file to put general or common Poryscript-syntax overworld scripts in. The .inc file will be generated from the .pory automatically, like it happens with the rest of the .pory files.

I was using poryscript in a specific map script and doing the call to SetEVs (located in data/event_scripts.s ) . When I was copying the name SetEVs into the map script it somehow changed the formatting and caused it to not recognize it. I changed the spelling and it works just fine now, but I appreciate your help!
