Todo: Verify if all of these work
Please try to call any of these using an info_game_event_proxy. Make sure you reset the game instructor counts and have setup the info_game_event_proxy properly before you decide wether it works or not. If it works, please highlight the name of the lesson in question with bold. If it doesn't work, make sure you did everything right. If you are absolutely 100% certain that it does not work then remove the lesson in question from the list.
