Script Error

I'm not sure what is giving me this error. aren't the highlighted lines string type expressions?

Hello,

Seems so...could you kindly reveal more of the code or
possibly post the whole thing?

If this is a part of a macro call then this error could occur if the
called macro does not have the "gs_list_custom" parameters at
all or they are of wrong type.

Thank you Juha,

I'm not very good with scripting yet so I didn't totally understand what you meant in the above, but it was enough to make me realize that using a dome object in my ceiling fan was the problem. I used a complex profile to make my globe for the light instead and now everything is ok.

Thanks for the insight.

Wrathchild,

I am glad you got this solved in other ways, but in possible answer to the question, it is most likely that your script is requesting a variable of one type, ie. a number, but that parameter is actually defined as something else such as text. This type of mismatch will generate the error message you have.

This has come up again and my other fix isn't working so here is the whole script for a different object with the same problem.

AC did some mess with your autoscripted object.

Search & Replace <ind(material,bod_mat)> by <bod_mat>
Search & Replace <ind(material,han_mat)> by <han_mat>
Search & Replace <"DEFAULT"> by <bod_mat>, except for the last one, replace by <han_mat>
Search & Replace <"09 | Paint-01 Ceiling White"> by <ceil_mat>.
You will have to create a new material <ceil_mat>

It takes about two minuts. Attached the rectified script. No more alerts.

Thanks so much. Hopefully now I'll know how to do the next one on my own.
