Hey all,

I was putting an imager in my age today, and came across this error:

Has anyone seen this error before?

looks like you used a unicode character. =P Not sure which, though...

I know I didn't edit the alc-script at all when making the imager, so it can't be there.

Where should I be looking for this character specifically?

...The alcscript, by the looks of it. =P

It's a non-printing character from the looks of it... 0x001F, which is a separator

I looked in the alc-script and didn't find anything out of the ordinary:

That is because it is an invisible unit separator character. It looks just like a space. In fact there are two of them in the Alcscript of your BE11 object in the lines:

Code: Select all

             - type: objectinbox


and

Code: Select all

             - type: sittingmod


Ok, I think I managed to fix that error. The only problem is after I rewrote the two lines with the invisible unicode characters, I come across this error now...dealing with BE11 still.

BE11... you have strange characters on lines 307 and 310. They show up as ^_ in vim, not sure what character that's trying to represent

Just checked, lines 307 and 310 are the same lines D'lanor quoted earlier. So we are dealing with multiple problems in the same line apparently?

What's weird is that it was working completely fine a few days ago, then I add an imager (which made no alc-script changes at all), and Blender doesn't like it...

This is what my alc-script looks like as of now:
