I can't seem to figure out why it does this, but when the logo::OnCollision is called and I try to commandToClient(%client,"SetScoreCounter",%client.score); it gives me this error:
Remote Command Error - command must be a tag.
I can't figure out how to fix it, any suggestions?

--double quotes enclose a string of characters that is constant, but not indexed
--single quotes enclose a string of characters that is both constant, and indexed, called a tagged string.
The engine wants this differentiation because it is able to optimize the networking of a tagged string through by placing the string into a table, and then whenever it next needs to deliver that string to a particular client or server, it instead sends the index of the string, saving bandwidth.

Steve is correct, single quotes and double quotes mean two different things in TorqueScript:--double quotes enclose a string of characters that is constant, but not indexed
--single quotes enclose a string of characters that is both constant, and indexed, called a tagged string.
