[mtasc] [Newby] Help with compile error

[Scott Whittaker]

Hi Arthur,

I can't be certain in your case but I often get misleading compiler errors 
like that if there is a spelling mistake somewhere that references that 
class - for example you might have a reference somewhere to treeNode instead 
of TreeNode.

The problem is that the compiler warning doesn't help you to find where the 
error is. I recommend doing a case insensitive search for "treenode" and 
checking the results carefully :)
