Expected Identifier error
Line 1 column 11 on this code:

```
Sub Skills(Type)
Dim a
Dim b

Select case type
Case WC
a = 50
b = 10
If Getplayerweaponslot(index) = 5 Then
  Call BattleMsg(index, "You start to chop at the tree!, BLUE, 1)
  Do while GetPlayerStr(index) < a
    a = a - 5
    b = b - 1
  Loop
  Call Settimer("Woodcutting " & index, Rand(Int(1 + b), Int(2 + b))
  Call Playermsg(index, Rand(Int(1 + b), Int(2 + b))
  Call LockPlayer(index, 1)
  Call LockSpells(index, 1)
  Call LockItems(index, 1)
  Call LockAttack(index, 1)
Else
  Call PlayerMsg(index, "You need an axe to cut wood!", RED)
End If
Exit Sub

Case M
Exit Sub
End Select
End Sub
```
Which is the '('

Any ideas?

WC as Type?

I think to identify something you need to have a X As Type.

Or maybe that's source codes.

Maybe it's **Dim** X As Type though.

Thats source.

Xeross tried it on his pc, and it woeked, but it won't work for me, not even with a fresh copy of EE.

Found afew problems.
First, your first battlemsg:
Call BattleMsg(index, "You start to chop at the tree!, BLUE, 1)
For forgot to end the string (with a double-quote), could could lead to quite afew problems.

"Type" is a reserved word; not sure if you're using it as a variable or not, but I don't think it will let you if you try.

Also, don't subs need an "index" too?

Ye it might be because Type is reserved try skillName instead or something similiar.
