vec_set(temp, my.y);
temp.y -= 64;
c_trace (my.y,temp,IGNORE_ME);

if(you != null)
{if(my.matchcheck == 0)
{my.skin = 2; me.matchcheck = 1;}}

i just want to check if theres an object between 64 quants to the right

whats wrong with my code???

vec_set(temp, my.x);
temp.y -= 64;
c_trace(my.x,temp,IGNORE_ME);

i'm pretty sure you have to use the first term in a VECTOR to refer to it, if you're gonna use any term at all. that means my.x, not my.y.
