I’m new to this site but not to CDDA reddit so move my post if I post it in the wrong section as I’m not familiar with this .I’m a beginner to Json programming and watched MurderUnicorn short tutorial series on Youtube but it feels like I’m just scratching the surface and I’m wanting to learn more about it so I can help make new content and mods and help the devs. Currently I’m experimenting making a monster with different special attacks but I’m making errors and it won’t load in the mod. Could someone experienced correct my Json? There’s something I’m overlooking.

“special\_attacks”: [  
{ “id”: “grab” }, [“SHRIEK\_ALERT”, 20],  
[“SHRIEK\_STUN”, 1],  
{ “id”: “scratch\_humanoid” } ],  
{ “id”: “feral\_weapon\_pipe” },

“special\_attacks”: [

[“SHRIEK\_ALERT”, 20],  
[“SHRIEK\_STUN”, 1],  
{ “id”: “scratch\_humanoid” },  
{ “id”: “feral\_weapon\_pipe” }  
],

I just moved ‘]’ to include the last object.
