Hi everyone!

So for some reason my video game wasn't working until i realized that the script wasn't in the correct format.

If your video game won't work, try this and see if it works:

Go to My Computer
Then to the Tools tab
Then go to Folder Options
Click the View tab
Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types"

 So after you finish that, you'll be able to see the extensions on all of your files. Go to your script file and take out the ".txt" or ".doc"

 A message saying  "If you change a file name extension, the file may become unusable. Are you sure you want to change it?"

 Click yes. I promise you'll be fine. :] Then upload the script and it'll work. Hopefully.

 Good Luck!

what i do is create a new text document in the file then i open it up. then i put in the script. then i save it as a new document in the same file. to do this click save as in the file menu. name it myfirstgamescript or whatever you like as long as it ends in .lua. but before you save under where you name your script it should have another bar which shows it as a text file. change this bar to say all files. then save delete the first text document you used to open the document. then load it up onto your wildpockets game. that is how i do it

An important reminder:

When you delete the ".txt" or ".doc" in the file name, you need to replace it with a ".lua."  Then it should work normally.
