Moveshape problem

function MoveShape(%shape, %dist)

// MOVE THE %SHAPE BY %DIST AMOUNT

{
echo("MoveShape: shape id: ", %shape);
echo("MoveShape: distance: ", %dist);
%xfrm = %shape.getTransform();
%1x = getword(%xfrm,0); //get the current transform values
%1y = getword(%xfrm,1);
%1z = getword(%xfrm,2);
%1x += %dist;
%shape.setTransform(%1x SPC %1y SPC %1z SPC "0 0 1 0");
echo ("MoveShape: done.");
}
Torque says there is a syntax error in line 15, but I copied straight from my source and it still says there is an error. What could I be missing?

Should it be lx instead of 1x. I can't really see a difference with what was done.

It's kinda hard to tell, but the difference is that it's an "L" instead of a 1. So lx would be correct because numbers can't be variables. If you got the source code from "3D Game Programming All In One," there is a CD that comes with it and it contains all of the source code.
