Radius Search Problem

Hi
I'm having some trouble with this line:
InitContainerRadiusSearch(%this.player.getTransform(), 50,$TypeMasks:: PlayerObjectType);
in the aiPlayer.cs file. I added it so that the bots will look at the nearest person but there seems ot be a problem with that line. Below is the context. Am I missing something?
function AIManager::think(%this)
{
// We could hook into the player's onDestroyed state instead of
// having to "think", but thinking allows us to consider other
// things...
if (!isObject(%this.player))
%this.player = %this.spawn();
InitContainerRadiusSearch(%this.player.getTransform(), 50,$TypeMasks:: PlayerObjectType);
if ((%targetObject = containerSearchNext()) != 0) {
%this.player.aimAt(%targetObject);
}
%this.schedule(500,think);
}

Wait, it's still giving me a syntax error. Same line.function AIManager::think(%this)
{
// We could hook into the player's onDestroyed state instead of
// having to "think", but thinking allows us to consider other
// things...
if (!isObject(%this.player))
%this.player = %this.spawn();
InitContainerRadiusSearch(%this.player.getPosition(),50,$TypeMasks:: PlayerObjectType);
if ((%targetObject = containerSearchNext()) != 0) {
%this.player.aimAt(%targetObject);
}
%this.schedule(500,think);
}

%this.schedule(500, think); is incorrect.
Searching for schedule in your scripts would had shown you that.
Edit: Your TypeMask also has a space in it, which too would had been evident if you had taken a look at already existing examples :) This is good practice if you get a error, and will make you learn faster.

You get the syntax error line in the console.log.%this.schedule(500, think); is incorrect.
