Lua Console Error Please Help

Hi.

I just tried to create a few actions in AS and it has started throwing this Lua error up everytime I touch any points on the main screen.

Does anyone know what the problem could be? It's pretty hard to work as it's so distracting. Is there a way to stop the Lua console from appearing altogether? The problem does'nt seem to be effecting my work.

EDIT: This error is popping up when I touch anything,menus, points and only when I have the actions window enabled.

Thanks for any help.
Cheers

Using undo while in an action will set that off. It shouldn't cause any problems. You can always minimize the error console by right-clicking its header. :wink:

Hi synthsin75.
This happens when the actions window is opened and you try to place a point anywhere or touch a menu.......I don't even get to the undo part. Any ideas what could be causing it?

Cheers

There are some tools that have code built in that pop up this alert if you try to use them in an action. Every tool sort of "activates" even when you don't use it. If that tool has code that prevents it from running in an action you get this behavior.

Check in a text editor for those "words" in the error. It should be at the top of the tool script in a "tool enabled" function. You can comment this out so the error stops.

It could be you installed a new tool recently. I think some of 7feet's tools had this code. Check those first if you put any in recently.
