Okay, that's an easy mistake...

Move the Function code to the END of the program. Many folks make the mistake of putting functions too high in their listing.

if your do loop executes more than once, that will happen because you have Make Object Cube Z,16 in there. Z is based on a for-next loop which will repeat its numbers every time the code executes it

aha, your cubes and your planes are stepping on each other

both loops that create them both use the same numbers starting at 1

Yeah, given the code you're using, and the fact that both loops step through the Z value Mapsize number of times, you're going to need a more complex formula to define object numbers. Something like X+Mapsize*Z for the first loop, and X+Mapsize*z*2 for the second. (I think my math is right there, but don't count on it!)

Remember, these are just the object numbers...

hehehe. Yeah, I thought about that... but I'm assuming he'd try to reference the objects by map location numbers, so a computed form might be better. (Depends on what you're doing--like anything else.)
