 same here but i think the lines after "function heat()" are wrong.well i know scripting elements in such a way i can give you correct code if you can give me properties you want.

Here is the fixed code*

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

tpt.el.eqve.name="TEST" --Giving it a name
tpt.el.eqve.enabled=1
tpt.el.eqve.menu=1
tpt.el.eqve.menusection=10 --adding it to the menusection "Specials"
tpt.el.eqve.heat=255   --setting its starting heat
tpt.el.eqve.gravity=2  --gravity
tpt.el.eqve.falldown=2 --state of matter (Liquid)
   function Heat_Loop()
      if tpt.get_property("temp","eqve") == 256
         then do
            tpt.set_property("temp",0"eqve")
         end
      end
   end
end
tpt.register_step(Heat_Loop)

------------------------------------------------------------------

this should work but it doesnt. It doesnt even rename the element.

By the way you had many things wrong to start off with. (Not to be negative, im a noob too. i started the day before yesterday.)

here are the basic mistakes you made:

----------------------------------------------

tpt.el.watr.name="MGLQ" --i changed this to make sure that the name wasnt the problem.
tpt.el.watr.temp=255 --there is no property called temp. use tpt.el.watr.heat=255
   function heat()   --always use correct indentation.
   if tpt.get_property(temp)=256 then --here it should be in more lines. and = should be ==. Like so:

      if tpt.get_property("temp","watr")

         then  --im not sure if you should use then or then do here.
         tpt.set_property (temp 0 watr) --right here it should be tpt.set_property("temp",0,"watr")

    end --you forgot to write end to end the "then" and the functionand "if"

end

tpt.register_step(heat) --this will make the function run every frame, otherwise it runs only once.
