Non-positive Parameters Error Report?

JGoode — Fri, 07 Jul 2017 10:54:21 GMT

I keep getting a Non-Positive Parameters error report when I adjust a dynamic hotspot to the lowest value that my object can go (minimum value set by myself). Is there any way to stop this error from occurring?

Thanks

You can turn all error messages off in the Work Environment, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having the error.
It is there to tell you something is wrong.

By adjusting your dynamic hotspot, does this adjust other parts of your object to become a negative value.
Do these other parts have a value RANGE that forces them always to be positive?

I can't say I have come across this particular error before as most parameters are quite happy to be negative or positive.
Does it give any more clues such as a line number in the script where this occurs?

Integers can't be negative (to my knowledge).

Also, if by adjusting the dynamic hotspot a 3D element breaks it's own rules, you will also get an error (e.g. If a prism has no thickness)

I take that back: just did a quick test, and integers / real numbers can indeed be set to negative.

I remember getting this error on a part I've done in the past, and from memory I thought it was the Integer status. Sorry 'bout that.

Can you post a bit more info?
