Not declared in this scope?

ghostk91 (20)
After declaring an int variable pVelY in a class defintion, I have attempted to implement it in a source definition. I am getting errors saying that pVelY was not declared in this scope. It is strange to me since pVelX looks exactly the same in how it is implemented, yet it builds just fine. Can someone tell me what is going on? I can show more code if necessary.

Any clue why this is happening?
