Function MoveShape(%shape, %dist)
{
echo("MoveShape: shape id ", %shape);
echo("MoveShape: distance: ",%dist);
%xfrm = %shape.getTransform();
%1x = getword (%xfrm,0);
%1y = getword (%xfrm,1);
%1z = getword (%xfrm,2);
%1x+=%dist;
%shape.setTransform(%1x SPC %1y SPC %1z SPC "0 0 1 0");
echo ("MoveShape: done.");
}
Opon execution of this script I get a syntax error on line 6. Ive looked it over but I cant find one. I took out the little side notes figuring it wasnt reading the slashes right and not voiding them. Didnt work. Ive retyped it after writing it down and going over it millions of times. Tell me what Ive done wrong. All errors please. Thanks!

So tell me what would happen if I took out the numbers and just left it as X,Y,Z?And how could I replace it then? if the X,Y,Z thing dont work out to well.

Correct, Torquescript variables cannot start with numbers (alpha only). I don't see any other glaring errors, but that doesn't mean you won't find others.
