You are defining this in HERO::onLevelLoaded

$herosquirrel = %this;

You likely need to define that in playerSQ::onLevelLoaded but that is just a guess. Make sure you are also exec("..."); your script.

I just want to punch my keyboard, I am no programmer. Any reason why this wouldnt work? Just trying to test this programming stuff out by getting this squirrel to move to the Right.

Under SCRIPTING the name is HERO and under CLASS its Playerhero
This is my Player.cs

function PlayerHero::onLevelLoaded(%this, %scenegraph)
{
$Hero = %this;

moveMap.bindCmd(keyboard, "d", "HeroRight();", "HeroRightStop();");


}




function HeroRight()
{
$Hero.setLinearVelocityX( 30 );
}
