It's as easy as forgetting the & at the start of a variable or forgetting to enclose your strings with a " in both ends, or perhaps forgetting a } at the end of a long list of ifs and elses, and whatnot.

I agree. Even the best of professional programers make mistakes in their coding. And they admit it. They're usually little mistakes like the ones you mentioned. Of course these little mistakes cause problems ranging from small (doesn't work in extremely convulted situations that will probably never occur except when deliberately trying to crash program in them) to major ones (such as not executing at all).

All of the mistakes I mentioned in my other post in this thread are such small mistakes where I forgot to do a few things I knew to do. However, despite being small they caused a major problem: the script wouldn't execute and the game froze (it wouldn't end the intro sequence since it needed the parts with the errors to move onto the next script in the intro sequence).
