I'm attempting to install a script for "instant transmission" so that I'm capable of teleporting my adventurer. I saved the link to the source code on the github page as a .lua file and it downloaded fine enough, and it will show up in the script list when you type "ls" but it will show "no help available" for it's description, and when I attempt to use it it shows me an error.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm not really sure what to make of it. Is there something I forgot to do?

It's a syntax error, but no one can tell you more than that without a copy of the script. Post a copy here inside CODE tags.

I got it from the github page thst I was linked to after clicking the "instant transmission" link on the DFHack/scripts page.
