Trq bot pathfinding

Has anyone run into this problem. I am using TGE 1.5.2. I am using the CodeSampler.com tutorials to learn TGE. I got the the trq_bot_pathfinding file and after setting everything up TGE would crash. I found the problem in the bot.cs file to be here:
datablock PlayerData( MyBot : PlayerShape )
{
// TO DO: Add extra stuff here to manage new A.I. functionality...
patrol = true;
attack = false;
};
I commented out, and deleted, everything between the brackets so that it looked like this:
datablock PlayerData( MyBot : PlayerShape )
{
};
Problem still occured. Based on other (datablock) code I examined this should not be happening.
datablock PlayerData( MyBot : PlayerShape )
{
// TO DO: Add extra stuff here to manage new A.I. functionality...
patrol = true;
attack = false;
};

datablock PlayerData( MyBot : PlayerShape )
{
// TO DO: Add extra stuff here to manage new A.I. functionality...
patrol = true;
attack = false;
};
should read:
datablock PlayerData( MyBot : PlayerBody )
{
// TO DO: Add extra stuff here to manage new A.I. functionality...
patrol = true;
attack = false;
};
according to what I found in the aiPlayer.cs file:
datablock PlayerData(DemoPlayer : PlayerBody)
{
shootingDelay = 2000;
};
When I changed it to PlayerBody Torque quit crashing. Now to finish the rest of those tutorials. I hope.

I found out what the problem is so far.datablock PlayerData( MyBot : PlayerShape )
{
// TO DO: Add extra stuff here to manage new A.I. functionality...
patrol = true;
attack = false;
};

datablock PlayerData( MyBot : PlayerBody )

@rushh: Make sure there is a datablock called PlayerBody in server/scripts/player.cs. If that doesnt help, just post your ai player scripts here and I'll have a look.

@Viren: you shouldn't need a shapefile field. When you use the (DemoPlayer : PlayerBody) syntax, basically you're telling Torque, "Make a new datablock called DemoPlayer, and use all the fields from PlayerBody that I don't define in the brackets below:". If the PlayerBody datablock already has a shapefile field, you shouldn't need to add that.@rushh: Make sure there is a datablock called PlayerBody in server/scripts/player.cs. If that doesnt help, just post your ai player scripts here and I'll have a look.
