Newbie looking for help.

Hello , I'm pretty new to the whole game scripting thing and was wondering if anybody would be willing to help me out at the most basic levels. Because when I look at the code I don't understand anything I see in there.
Here's an example that is confusing me... I tried figuring out how I could make a simple build menu. I made the gui and added buttons that call the functions : function startPlaceBuilding(), function startPlaceBuilding1() and function startPlaceBuilding2().
They each contain identical code except for the shape file but strangely enough only the original works. Any ideas as to why? Gives me the unknown function error in the console.

My friend gave me a copy of his , I'm not planning on releasing anything and it's only for learning. But thanks for the advice. I'll try making it a simple fps type game first.

Your friend is not permitted under the EULA to give a copy of the engine or RTS Starter Kit to an unlicensed user.

Otherwise, you will be trying to learn several different concepts at the same time. I've tried that, and its not funny.
And for the record, you don't seem to have bought any Torque license, hence there is officially no way for you, to have access to the RTS Kit.
