Error at line 40 - ')' expected near '='... I really don't see the problem in that if statement. I have tried many variations, but all have failed . Please help.

Thank you, you lead me down the right path, I realized that I wasn't comparing the object, I was setting it (should've used == in place of =). But now I have a new problem.. when I use the lever, it detects 784 monsters. I dont see how "isCreature(pid)" returns more monsters than there even are in the map, much less in an area smaller than 784 tiles. Maybe it is returning the id? But I don't see how it would be, since it sets 'amount' higher when faced with a true return of the function.

-EDIT-

Also, sorry about forgetting lua tags
