I've been revisiting this problem every few days on my own, but I am still stuck. I think I may have gotten good advice so far, but I guess it above my skill to implement correctly.
Please if someone would, please look at the script and tell me specifically what to add to be able to access any of the variables such as "set walk speed" in PlayMaker.
With great appreciation.
