Your 'ambient' script has told the engine to look for an art asset[bouncingBall.dts] in a very specific place; in a folder called "animatedProps".

The engine, during runtime, after excuting the 'ambient' script cannot locate the art asset in the specific folder.

1. You have the "bouncingBall.dts" art asset in the wrong location/folder.

or

2. Your .dts file is not a valid .dts file?

What, 'bouncing ball' 'given steps' did you follow?

How did you generate the bouncingBall.dts and did you inspect the art in a visualizer before trying to get it to work with script?

This sounds entirely like a pathing issue, IE, the art is in the wrong place or script is pointing to the wrong place/mod/game.

You need to script the shape's animation to play during runTime....

The TDN pages might have some good scripting tutorials.
