New Export error?

[Paradox]

Looks fine

[Jamey]

Is it possible that there could be problems with the objects the alc-script is referencing to causing these errors? Or problems with the imager objects? Because before I added the imager (which again, made no changes to the alc-script), the age exported completely fine. But after I added the imager objects, and the screens for the imager, these errors start occurring...

[Paradox]

This isn't an object issue, but an AlcScript issue. Are you using Blender's Text editor for your alcScript? I'm wondering if a hotkey combination was accidentally adding characters, or if the auto-indent could be to blame...

[Jamey]

Yeah, I always use Blender's Text Editor.

The only hotkeys I can think of ever using are Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V, Copy and Paste. I usually copy needed alc-script and make the substitutions. If I need to use more than one of the same code, I copy and paste the modified code directly in the alc-script, and modify it a second time.

For this example we are solving now, BE1 through BE12 are all bench sit objects. I have 4 benches in my age, each bench having 3 sitting locations.

I started with BE1, and made the changes needed. I copy and pasted it 11 more times directly in the alc-script, and changed all of them to their proper object names and regions assigned (BR1 and BR2). When I exported this, they all worked flawlessly.

Then I added the imager recently. And start getting the errors in the alc-script, even though I changed nothing in the alc-script when adding the imager (at least nothing that I know of)


Here's a picture of how it looks in Blender (if it helps)

[D'Lanor]

The indentation is now inconsistent. You seem to have lost a space character when you retyped those lines. Yaml usually doesn't mind if the indentation used is 3 or 4 spaces but it should at least be consistent within the same object.

[Jamey]

Ah I see it.

- Added a space to each line and it exported successfully!

Thanks a million guys!

[Jamey]

Ah crap...Just when things exported successfully...

[Paradox]

Same issue as before, in BE7 and BE8. Non-printing characters.

[Jamey]

...Is there a program or a python script I can use to detect these invisible characters?

Whenever I try to delete what I think the invisible character, it always deletes the letter before it... (I hope that makes sense)

[Paradox]

I've been using gvim, but even Notepad should show them (probably as boxes).

If you do use vi/vim/gvim, you can swap the non-printing characters with :%s/^_/ /g
