I had figured out that it was a mouse problem :rolleyes:. How do I fix it?

youre calling a function that doesnt exist. thats what that error means. most likely its due to the countless times the name of the function has changed. it might still be ms.getY(), ms.getMouseY(), or io.getY() under 3.6.9. dont remember exactly what it was. but in more recent builds the functions is io.getMouseY().

If you are planning to use scripting you really shouldnt use 369 builds.. Scripting with those is no longer supported (that is.. scripters have moved on to HEAD branch builds). Nothing prevents you from scripting with 369 builds but it will be rather limited

ms.getX() --> io.getX() --> io.getMouseX()
ms.getY() --> io.getY() --> io.getMouseY()

It's probably the first in 3.6.9.
