So I made a custom unit. Done it before, never had trouble. Now I get the weirdest error only when I add this unit that isn't I think, related to the unit:

Hidden/Spoiler:

Message Severity: 3

.\Source\LuaHelper.cpp(312)

CallProc failed: (none):0: attempt to perform arithmetic on a nil value

stack traceback:

	(none): in function `AddCommandPost'

	(none): in function `ScriptPostLoad'

When I remove the unit, bam, no error. It's bizzare.

That's command post related. If you added/deleted a command post or renamed one you'll need to update the lua.

I think I know what you mean but could you tell me to make sure?

Also, then why does the error disappear when I remove the unit?

If you have more than 4 (or less than 4) cps, you need to edit the LUA:

Hidden/Spoiler:

--This defines the CPs. These need to happen first

cp1 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp1"}

cp2 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp2"}

cp3 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp3"}

cp4 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp4"}

cp5 = CommandPost:New{name = "cp5"}

And

Hidden/Spoiler:

--This adds the CPs to the objective. This needs to happen after the objective is set up

conquest:AddCommandPost(cp1)

conquest:AddCommandPost(cp2)

conquest:AddCommandPost(cp3)

conquest:AddCommandPost(cp4) 

conquest:AddCommandPost(cp5)

If you have less than 4, you need to delete the corresponding lines.

As for the unit, I have no clue. Perhaps it is generating a separate, unrelated, Severity-2-but-still-crashing type error? Search through your log for any mention of the unit, and post here if you find anything. I've had hordes of severity-2's crash on me sometimes.

Is the

ReadDataFile("dc:SIDE\\rep.lvl",
-- "rep_inf_ep3_rifleman",
-- "rep_inf_ep3_rocketeer",
-- "rep_inf_ep3_engineer",

"rep_clon9",
"rep_inf_trooperneyo")
-- "rep_hover_barcspeeder"

Normal practice? If I was the computer in that situation, I would get confused.

Which unit are you talking about? rep_clon9 or rep_inf_trooperneyo?

I got the nil value thing when I was trying to put in a teleport, but I think it might mean that one of your units doesn't exist in the right place.

Normally, yes. But I'm not positive I want to keep my custom sides yet.

rep_inf_trooperneyo. I can't see that being correct as if all I do is comment out it's readdatafile line it works fine.

Thanks Fiodis and Tean, will try.

Edit: It still doesn't work. I might want to mention that it only crashes when I click on the unit at the spawn screen.

That's what happens when you try to play as an unrefined R2D2. I think it's because of camera sections with him, though. Can you post neyo's ODF?

EDIT: and any other modded files that are related to him.

K will soon.

Me and RepSharpShooter decided it couldn't be after we looked over my lua and files, its just a random error, and I never found a fix.

Okay, here we go:

WeaponName         = "rep_weap_inf_rocket_launcher"

WeaponAmmo         = 4

WeaponAmmo         = 2

WeaponChannel      = 1

VOUnitType        	= 121

If you need anything, tell me.

Posted: **Wed Dec 17, 2008 9:30 pm**

Not sure why you had to post the Neyo odf, the problem is caused by the AI not being able to spawn as that unit.

That's why.

Could you elaborate on that, Rouge? Thx.

Posted: **Thu Dec 18, 2008 7:20 pm**

I actually don't know why, I never figured our the error, but Tourny is right, it may be something so simple as camera angles to first person views.

Posted: **Thu Dec 18, 2008 7:53 pm**

Oh Well... *Sigh* I guess I'll have to make another unit with the same assets if anyone doesn't have any other Ideas...

Is that all? Most units reference something like rep_inf_default_rifleman.odf

WEAPONSECTION = 4

WeaponName         = "rep_weap_award_pistol"

WeaponAmmo         = 6

It seems you would be missing crucial data unless you put it somewhere else.

Posted: **Thu Dec 18, 2008 8:42 pm**

Well I would, but I just edited the rep_inf_default_marine to fit my needs for testing, so in theory it isn't reference-needed because, well, it is the reference, if that makes any sense.

How's that unit without a geometry working out for you?

Wow...

The most stupid mistake of all and I didn't noice. I feel like such a moron.

I think this happened because all the sub units reference their own geometries and the default ones don't...... Again, it makes me feel so stupid...

Thanks for the help, guys
