For some reason gm8 keeps throwing me an error when I use the else command:

  if x>5
{
x=1;
    else
x+=2;
}

FATAL ERROR in
action number 1
of  Step Event
for object object0:

COMPILATION ERROR in code action
Error in code at line 4:
       else
       ^
at position 6: Unexpected symbol in expression.

help...

I will do any job big or small, just pm me. I have 2 years of programming experience and I use gm7 pro.

Note: I DO NOT DO 3D, RETAIL, FANGAMES OR ONLINE GAMES!!

Could anyone tell me why this is not working?
Here' s my script:
scr_accel

argument0+=argument1;

Here' s my player' s create event:

Spd=0;
Accel=0.3;

Here' s my player' s step event:

x+=Spd;
scr_accel(Spd,Accel)

I see no reason why this should not be working, so someone please HELP!
