if i type in console:

tpt.register_step tpt.create 25, 25, MERC

in console i expect it to keep making MERC in the coordinates 25, 25 for every frame but it doesnt and says:

[string "tpt.register_step tpt.create 25, 25, MERC"]:1: '=' expected near 'tpt'

WHATS HAPPENING?

limelier

I believe it wants tpt.register_step=tpt.create 25, 25, MERC

it says:
"
tpt.register_step

Register a function to be run on every frame
tpt.register_step(function func) "

i did that right?

From what I've read : In Notepad, write
function mycode()
//Code here
end
tpt.registerstep(mycode())

Save at .lua

Then in the console write : dofile("myfile.lua")

"mycode" and "myfile" are example names

And don't write "//" before your code...
