Problem calling a level class function

THE SCENARIO:
I created a level in the editor and set its Scene Graph Scripting Class to "zombieLevel". Then I made a script file called "zombielevel.cs" in my scripts directory. In there I have the following functions:
Then in my game.cs I have the following:
Finally, my player.cs file has the following:
THE PROBLEM:
When I run the game I get the following error:
With the last line being the problem. I definitely have setZombieTarget as a function in my level class, so I'm not sure why my player class can't see it. I followed the Whack-a-Mole tutorial which has similar functionality for keeping track of how many moles were whacked (moleLevel::incWhackedCount)
Anybody have any insight?
I created a level in the editor and set its Scene Graph Scripting Class to "zombieLevel". Then I made a script file called "zombielevel.cs" in my scripts directory. In there I have the following functions:
function ZombieLevel::setZombieTarget(%this, %target) {
$zombieTarget = %target;

function ZombieLevel::getZombieTarget(%this) {
return $zombieTarget;
}Then in my game.cs I have the following:
function startGame(%level) {
exec("./zombielevel.cs");
exec("./player.cs");Finally, my player.cs file has the following:
function Player::onLevelLoaded(%this, %scenegraph) {
$Player = %this;
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "up", "PlayerUp();", "PlayerUpStop();");
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "down", "PlayerDown();", "PlayerDownStop();");
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "left", "PlayerLeft();", "PlayerLeftStop();");
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "right", "PlayerRight();", "PlayerRightStop();");
moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "space", "PlayerBoost();", "PlayerBoostStop();");
%scenegraph.setZombieTarget(%this);

When I run the game I get the following error:

"Case-insensitive - TorqueScript ignores case when interpreting variable and
function names."
But I went and made the name consistent everywhere (the Class name, the file name, the reference in the exec line and the level scripting reference) and it still gives me the same error.

In the level's Scene Graph Scripting:Class box I had typed "zombieLevel" but apparently I also hit Control-S while the focus was still on that text box and it ended up putting a control character at the end of the value. Once I removed that, my script executed as expected!

Ha! Your post led me to the problem!In the level's Scene Graph Scripting:Class box I had typed "zombieLevel" but apparently I also hit Control-S while the focus was still on that text box and it ended up putting a control character at the end of the value.

In this, it's refered to as zombieLevel but in your zombielevel.cs you refer to it as ZombieLevel
Try changing the case in your zombielevel.cs to reflect a lower-case 'z' and see if that's the issue.
