Major Builder

Hi there, this is the code that I have developed for my player. It still crashes my system. Going on this, do you see any major errors I should correct?
Obviously, I have so many events, probably too many running off of the MouseDown event, but I do want this to happen, so should I group all player functions that run off of the click in one "group" and the one that must record/set world positions in another?

function onLevelLoaded (%this, %scenegraph)
{
if(!sceneWindow2D.getUseObjectMouseEvents())
   {
      sceneWindow2D.setUseObjectMouseEvents(true);
	  }
	   // set this object to accept mouse events
   %this.setUseMouseEvents(true);
   


$cube=%this.getCubePosition, set as Cube Position;
moveMap.bindCmd(mouse, "click";, "cubeMovement";, "cubeMoveX();", "cubeMoveStopX;", "cubeMove-X();", "cubeMoveStop-X;", "cubeMoveY();", "cubeMoveStopY;". "cubeMove-Y();", "cubeMoveStop-Y;",);
}


function recordMousePosition::onMouseDown
{
%this.mousePosition=setPosition; 
}

My thanks to Garage Games and the Garage Games Community combined with owned determination I got one game up, Temple Racer and I am looking to build more interesting, fun games for the mass market of the iOS app store.

    TBH it's hard to find a line without major error.

    $cube=%this.getCubePosition(), set as Cube Position; << is this a comment?
    moveMap.bindCmd(mouse, "click";, "cubeMovement";, "cubeMoveX();", "cubeMoveStopX;", "cubeMove-X();", "cubeMoveStop-X;", "cubeMoveY();", "cubeMoveStopY;". "cubeMove-Y();", "cubeMoveStop-Y;",);
    }


    function recordMousePosition::onMouseDown()
    {
    %this.mousePosition=someObject.setPosition();
    }

    Just some quick thoughts:
    - bindCmd takes 4 parameters only, you try to use it with 11.
    - Parantheses missing several times.
    - A period instead of a comma (typo)?

    IMO you should try coding more carefully and consider reading a book about Torque Script.

    great, so really they are all very minor.

    I do want to relate/have mouse dictate all moves by its click. tho i will move that click into a class with lots of if statements. thanks.PS. I am using 2D Game Building for Teens, it is proving to be quite useful.
