    [SOLVED] Function works; x position variable off.

    Hello, it's me again. I tried to put this code in a script so I could make my own 'region' ( and make that region easier to define), but it doesn't produce the effect I know it's making contact because other code works (for example, reduced hit points). No errors, but no particle effect...
