 "mcInEditor"
that section lets you run the code while in editor
it is for macros

 "mc.mcCntlSetPoundVar (inst, mc.SV_HEAD_SHIFT_Y, YShift)"
this one thing added in Mach4
it lets you use multiple heads
it shifts the home position

This is the only part that is the code.

  function m # ()
      your code
  end
  if (mc.mcInEditor () == 1) then
       m # ()
  end

Who put it in?
Who it putting in the code?

If you are doing it this might help some.

Really?
You take out the button that moves things and it doesnt work any more?

Look, you have an error in the code.
Take out the button and see if the error goes away.
Then we can work on getting the button back in correctly.

Delete the button and see if you get the same error.

I do not think the error is from the button.
It looks like it is saying the problem is at line 239.
The script you posted does not have 239 lines.
I do not know what the problem is.

you might need to put "10" or '10'
mc.mcCntlSetPoundVar(inst, mc.SV_HEAD_SHIFT_Y, "10")
mc.mcCntlSetPoundVar(inst, mc.SV_HEAD_SHIFT_Y, '10')

or just change this mc.mcCntlSetPoundVar(inst, mc.SV_HEAD_SHIFT_Y, 10)
to this
YShift = 10
mc.mcCntlSetPoundVar(inst, mc.SV_HEAD_SHIFT_Y, YShift)

Use the head shift feature

You will need to write some code.
This is for the Y axis;
mc.mcCntlSetPoundVar(inst, mc.SV_HEAD_SHIFT_Y, TKOSftYVal)
TKOSftYVal is just a variable.
