Title: AI Path Issues - GVC Mekhet
Post by: NeonShivan on October 31, 2014, 02:42:57 pm: So I was play testing one of my missions that involve the capture of a [Zod] cruiser, the Mekhet, all was going well when the transport arrive and FSOpen collectively shat itself and gave me this error:

Code: [Select]

I've never seen such an error before and I have no real knowledge, as a result, to fix it. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.

Or, possibly, the paths might be named wrong somehow in said model. Pasting the relevant arrival anchor code from the mission file and a PCS2 screenshot of the paths list should reveal if anything's amiss.

Oh, right, well in that case it's something else. Maybe a ship trying to dock or undock with another when the latter doesn't have a proper path for it, or something. I'd guess the problem to be with the model of whatever class ANC Horus is.

A debug build ought to give a better stacktrace and/or something interesting in the log.
