Development Forum Plant won't Decay (C3/DS) - Resolved    Air Guitarist kezune        12/8/2013 So I'm working on a plant that grows, lives a little while, makes seeds and then dies. The plant grows, lives and pops seeds out well enough but I can't seem to get it to start decaying properly. I was following this Wiki Tutorial. Here's one error it throws: Runtime error in agent 2 4 15330 script 2 4 15330 9 unique id 2305 Invalid TARG ... ie loop subv va00 1 {@}pose va00 wait rand 40 80 untl ... And another.: Runtime error in agent 2 4 15330 script 2 4 15330 9 unique id 2025 Pose change failed - new pose 7 on part 0 which has base 0 ... ie loop subv va00 1 {@}pose va00 wait rand 40 80 untl ...

Since it looks like the plant is supposed to be targeting itself, I doubt the problem is that the "targ" has been killed (because the script would have simply stopped running). So it's probably trying to target something else by mistake. I suspect the problem is that there is no "TARG OWNR" line after it creates a seed... without being "redirected" back to itself, it's probably trying to apply that block of script to the seed. This might actually be the cause for both of the errors you've encountered.   Air Guitarist kezune     12/8/2013 Thank you for the advice! (And thank you, too, Liam!) Adding targ ownr to the subroutine worked fabulously. Updated Rehosting Policy[/title]   Malkin Manager     12/8/2013 Where did you put the TARG OWNR? It sounds like the tutorial needs fixing. My TCR Norns   Air Guitarist kezune     12/8/2013 Right here. subr die targ ownr <-- loop Updated Rehosting Policy[/title]   Malkin Manager     12/8/2013 Thanks, I've edited the page to add in the code and a brief explanation of that line. My TCR Norns   Prodigal Sock Ghosthande     12/9/2013  1 Just for future reference, it's generally best if "TARG OWNR" comes right after the block that creates one seed. When it appears after all the seeds are created (like right now), that means that actually, each seed is creating the next seed, intead of the plant creating all of them, because the plant isn't being retargeted between seeds. This won't affect the location where the subsequent seeds are created in this script, since you specify POSX and POSY before looping through seeds, but under some circumstances it can still cause errors.
