I am trying to script cutscene for the begining of my module. The scripting commands I have gotten so far are based on other modules that I have donwloaded from the vault(I am not copying though). The desired effect that I want is to have the PC enter, the Zhentarim mage commander walks up and says I line above his head, then the PC gets a VFX applied to him/her, then falls down with the dying sound. Then I want 3 Netheril Wizards, and their commander Alvorah to appear. I want the camera to face her and the Zhent Boss back and forth while they say lines, then they fight, with the Netheril beating the Zhents, then Alvorah walks up to where the PC is and says a line, then teleports him/her away and the cutscene ends.
Sorry I know that was alot to take in. I am trying to script the scene and I have very little experiance, and I have been getting so many errors when I try to compile [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img]

Could someone who understands scripting better could tell me what I did wrong?
Any help you can offer would be much appreciated!
Here it is, sorry if it is a bit messy:

#include "camera_rec"
