      Hello, I was wondering why I always get an error message when using the script for MsPhysics. Here's the script

      Triggered when simulation starts

      onStart {

      Have the desired velocity as 5 m/s

      @des_vel = 5
      }

      Triggered every time the world updates

      onUpdate {

      Compute the force to apply

      timestep = simulation.update_timestep # (in seconds)
      force = this.mass / timestep # (in Newtons)

      Get current velocity

      cur_vel = this.get_velocity

      leftx() returns a value ranging from -1.0 to 1.0, depending on the state

      of A and D keys or the horizontal position of the left joystick.

      fx = (leftx() * @des_vel - cur_vel.x) * force

      lefty() returns a value ranging from -1.0 to 1.0, depending on the state

      of W and S keys or the vertical position of the left joystick.

      fy = (lefty() * @des_vel - cur_vel.y) * force

      Apply force on this body.

      this.add_force(fx, fy, 0)
      }

      Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

      Thanks
