whooo you just copied and pasted the code i gave you… you need to use it for your OWN files; not copy the exact same variable names and instance names…
Now tell me what you are trying to do and i’ll try to fix up a file with help…
[edit]: sorry my fault i had looked at the rest of the file… are you have the power up when you hit the square ???
