okay i narrowed it down to just error "010: invalid function or declaration" i forgot to add the "{". and lines 3789 to 3804 are at "if(strcmp("/help", cmdtext, true, 10) == 0)" and end at "return 1;"

Let's start!
First of all, you closed more bracket than those you opened. Also, the lenght is totally wrong.

You've forgot(?) to use some { or } in the code, which cause it to be out of OnPlayerCommandText, while you can't insert such code out of function. Try to find your mistakes in the correct code:

make sure that this part:

return 0;
}

is the end of OnPlayerCommandText (already written in the correct code).

Oh, Great!
Onother one person who doesn't know how to count how many characters a command has.

The lenght is optional, so it's better not use it.
