    I genuinely don't understand why the new event keeps on crashing, with this message;

    TLDR, it says that there is a syntax error. What am I doing wrong?
     
    The bug appears to be in AddDependency2. Check your script and look for anything that doesn't look right.
     
    It appears to be an ID mismatch. If you change the first argument to @event_id that makes the event become the follower event without the possibility of an ID mismatch error.
     
    I'm sorry, I don't think I follow - could you explain in simpler terms? What is an argument and how do I type that (@event_id) command, is there a specific way?
