Hi, I’m trying to make a polyhedron renderer thing but when I try to draw a vertex, it prints out  
`Script error. (: line 0)` and  
`p5 had problems creating the global function "createElement", possibly because your code is already using that name as a variable. You may want to rename your variable to something else.` The first error happens whenever i try do draw something to the canvas, and the second error happens no matter what, even on a new sketch. My code looks like this and I am using p5.dimensions,

```auto
var t;
function setup() {
  createCanvas(400, 400, WEBGL);
  t=nVector(1,1,1)
}

function draw() {
  background(255);
  point(t.x,t.y,t.z);
}

```

EDIT: So it turns out that both errors happen whenever I am logged in, which doesn’t make sense.

Hi @PKFire17  
Do you want something like?

```auto
var t;

function setup() {
  createCanvas(400, 400, WEBGL);
 t = createVector(1, 1, 1);
}

function draw() {
  background(255);
  point(t.x,t.y,t.z);
}

```
