Is anything else working? Sounds, upward velocity?

Sorry, can't test at the moment.
May the mass times acceleration be with you.

Nope, nada, and no...

Rename the variable goto into something else. It is possible that JK uses goto as a reserved word.

OK... That worked... This needs to be put into the Parsec! Oh, GBK!

^^^ and the DM. You have a witness...

[edit] Did a small test, and "goto" works exactly the same as "call".
So, just as Stop and Return are interchangeable, so are goto and call.

I have often wondered why people don't make more use of functions such as call and goto. Code could be set up such as...
Code: 
activated:
MoveToFrame(bob, went, there);
WaitForStop(bob);
billy:
print("have a nice day");
return;

crossed:
call billy;
return;

allowing people to bypass certain lines of code. There are many different ways to do it, but I'm surprised that this isn't used more often.


Dang, just realized how far off topic I went. Sorry. [/rant]
