my error is "$1: argument number out of range" so i'm pretty sure it is expecting a float and getting a symbol.
You precisely never get such an error message for such a mistake. If it says "argument number out of range", it's because the argument number is out of range. This means that $1 doesn't exist in this context. This means that the message has only a selector and nothing else, just like the common messages 'bang', 'close', 'start', 'stop' that are supported by a certain number of object-classes. You wouldn't be able to write it 'symbol close' or 'symbol start' instead : it's just not the same thing.
