I was thinking it's one of the type names being a reserved word - but it seems the one it dislikes is TEAM - I would have guessed CLASS or something like that!

Best to change that to something else.

okay now it is failing with "Could not understand command at line 345". Line 345 being "procprop(t,b$)"

+ Code Snippet

function load_npc(map$)
    dim ai_entity(100) as string
    if file exist("Profile\"+profile$+"\"+map$+".npc")
        load array "Profile\"+profile$+"\"+map$+".npc", ai_entity()
    else
        load array "Media\Maps\"+map$+".npc", ai_entity()
    endif
    
    for t=0 to 100
    lin$ = ai_entity(t)
    if len(lin$) >2
        b$=first token$(lin$,";")
        procprop(t,b$)
        repeat
          procprop(t,b$)
        until b$=""                
    endif
    next t

end function

function procprop(ent_id,prop$)
    key$=STR Get Left From(prop$,":")
    value$=STR Get right From(prop$,":")
    
    select key$
        case "name" : npc(ent_id).name = value$ : endcase
    endselect  

endfunction

EDIT: The input file being;

+ Code Snippet

name:Drew;model:Media\Models\hool1.3ds;texture:Media\Models\hool1.bmp;position:0,0,0;scale:100;angle:0;team:Neutral;class:Person;stance:Cautious;darea:0,0;dradius:256;Roam:0;strafe:0;path:Road;dialogue:{};

Ahh, check the END FUNCTION on load_npc - I think it's running into the function call without closing load_npc, kill the space and see if that fixes it.

Isn't it because he uses two times the word 'as'??

Quote: "team as as integer"

Even i see that VanB commented the line with double "as" he missed that, and proposed something else.

Yeah, but VanB commented that line because he thinks that 'team' is a reserved word, while I think that the error came from having two times the command 'as' (look at both snippets).
