This error message is a bit annoying because it doesn’t show you the exact line of error and just takes you to the top of your script.
This error message usually means that you are either missing a spot number or added an extra spot number to any of your spot codes for character placing or overlay spots.
You can PM me your whole script and I can pinpoint the exact line of error.

This is the line of error.
It should look like this:
EXT. GRAVEYARD - DAY with HALF CASKET with effect RAIN
To add a weather effect, the format is “with effect WEATHER” and weather effects should always go at the end of the line. So background name first, then overlays, then weather effects.

You don’t need the word “in”. It works with or without “in”
