It’s hard to read your code because the curly brackets are all over the place, but it looks like your functions such as waitForPress() are in task main. Functions have to be located outside of task main. You can then run these functions by typing waitForPress() in your main task or wherever you are using it

That fixed it like a boss, you are great crazycrabman…
