I have started geting a random error "Bob does not exist" I have no idea what this is and am unable to debug it.

Any guidance as what "Bob" is and how to resolve the issue o prevent this error.. thx

This problem happened to me.
A Bob is another word for sprite, and it was used as a keyword in old versions of DBC.
When the DBC creators made a new version with sprites instead of bobs, they replaced all the Bobs in the complier and replaced them with sprite.
But they forgot to change that! It happened to me, and I was confused, too.
Can you post the code? That would help a lot.

Your problem is probably something like this:



If you use the command sprite x() or sprite y() the sprite has to exist, or you get that error.

with 6000 lines of code can't post it but at least I can focus on the sprites now and check they are implemented correctly... thx guys

Actually here is probably where error is, but can't see it

6000 lines halted by a missing BOB...
Read my sig :p

it is almost certain that you've called for some data from a bob that doesn't exist yet.
I'm pretty sure BOB is still a command, but yes it's the same as a SPRITE.

TDK and all, thanks for your help, learned a lot here thx
