Strange coding error

I think this is the right place for this. I'm not exactly new here, I joined here around last year I think.
I'm making basically what everyone says is impossible. An RTS-FPS-RPG.
I've been working on it for a good while now. When put into simple concepts, its not tough to make. (The RPG section of it has been making me stumble quite a bit. Everything else seems to be working smoothly.)
However I've run into a problem. I'm the Game director, I do pretty much anything on the team no one wants or no one else can do. I do texturizing, mapping, concept art, public relations, and some modeling. We have 10 members on my team, but none of us really know coding. (So I decided to begin to learn.)
Recently I've had to do all of the coding, but now I've run into an error.
Coding doesn't do anything. (?)
I code in something for lets say the weapon modification system, (Simple process really that I intent to post up when done) when finally done, the code doesn't change anything. It runs what the code WAS before I changed it.
So I tried something simple, I changed the player speed from 10 to 5 (It seemed a bit too fast for me anyways.)
Nothing. No changes, nothing, still 10 in-game.
Now I don't know if anyone here already knows the problem, but I have two hunches on why this isn't working.
1. My programming program won't allow me to edit the DSO coding. (think this is it right here, if you have a solution for this...?)
2. My programming program also doesn't not let me compile. Once again, I'm fairly new to programming but I'm pretty sure you need to compile after every time you recode something.
My programming software is Microsoft Visual Studios 2005 (Just today it refuses to do anything, and has stopped working altogether)

This will help me very much on my way to programming. Thanks again.

Thanks, I just tried it and as you said it crashed.This will help me very much on my way to programming. Thanks again.

well if there is nothing wrong with the code (the C++ code, which is the engine code) if u were changing in the engine itself then u'll clearly c the errors
but I guess u r just using the Visual Studio to edit ur script files ??
if so, the visual studio is just acting like a text editor that has some colors for the code, & the Torque exe itself is what compiles the scripts u wrote
(I suppose u already know all that, but just thought to mention it again :D )
try this for a solution, run the deleteDSOs.bat file to remove all the DSO files from ur game, so when u run it again it will have to rebuild them all. so if any of them had an error the game WILL CRASH which is a good thing :D, open the log file & c which file was being executed when it crashed
