Unknown command getDataBlock

This is probably your key output line here: note there is not anything between the two single hash marks (no, that isn't a quote, it's two single hash marks)...the object you are checking on doesn't exist at that scope.

#2 // call the interact function on the object's datablock
if(%scanTarg)
{
%targetDataBlock = %scanTarg.getDataBlock();
Echo("targetDataBlock = " @ %targetDataBlock);
Echo("scanTarg = " @ %scanTarg);
%targetDataBlock.Interact(%scanTarg,%client);
}
else
messageClient(%client, 'MsgTutorial', 'No object in range');

- Prints
targetDataBlock =
scanTarg = 1380 -10.5135 24.0161 1.79465 0 -1 0
baron/server/scripts/interact.cs (31): Unable to find object: '' attempting to call function 'Interact'
baron/server/scripts/interact.cs (28): Unknown command getDataBlock.
Object (1380) TSStatic -> SceneObject -> NetObject -> SimObject

- It's able to find the object, 1380, but it cant call Interact method on it?

- 1380 is defined as
//This is the datablock for the door itself
datablock StaticShapeData(Door)
- in door.cs

-and has

function Door::Interact(%this, %obj, %client)
defined in door.cs

- I cant see any reason not to call it?

Thanks Stephan for quick answer.

#3 Add %obj.dump() and verify that the object you are getting is indeed the object you think it is.

#4 If you look at the output of your "scanTarg =" echo line, it looks like you have both the object's datablock, as well as a transform for the object in the variable %scanTarg. Therefore, when you try to call %scanTarg.getDataBlock(), it's trying to find an object who's id is >1380 -10.5135 24.0161 1.79465 0 -1 0< and that object doesn't exist.

That's just an educated guess by looking at your output. Try finding out why you have both an object ID and a transform inside the %scanTarg variable.

Other parts of your output "smell" suspicious as well, but I can't put my finger on it yet.

#5 HAHAHAHAHA

I cant believe myself.

In mission editor, I did F11, F4 and find the door under static shapes, instead of shapes.

It took my whole friday evening :) Guess I'm not too late yet ...

#6 TSStatics don't have datablocks. Only things derived from GameBase have datablocks.
