My head hurts. I'm putting this on a trigger zone and it's not working. What am I missing?

File name - "Write_QUIT.lua"
--------

function Write_QUIT_init(e)
end

function Write_QUIT_main(e)
if g_Entity[e]['plrinzone']==1 then
file = io.open("missiondone.txt", "w")
io.output(file)
io.write("Some text...")
io.close(file)
QuitGame()
FinishLevel()
Destroy(e)
end
end

Don't use capital letters in your _main and _init, GG doesn't like it, it's ok to use _ to break up words in the _main and _init, but try to limit how many as GG is easily confused.

this is off topic. but are you adding some sort of level select?

you can put down winzones and have triggers to all your levels in them wins zones. in the level

then go to the any level when you want

thats a good way to do it if you wanted to get rid of the old gg main menu and have some sort of live background as your main menu.

if your not doing something like that then woops haha
