Re: A bug in animation

[James C. W. <jfc...@ya...>]

Ah, I've found the source of the issue: playvid.lua, since it has
patch declarations, must be included in every node that the function is
called--not just in the first node used, as I had mistakenly assumed. Otherwise pipmak
tries to use the patches from the previous node's playvid.lua, only to crash. Do you think it's reasonable for Pipmak to crash when
confronted with this problem, though?


Thanks, 

 James

Thanks for the report. A few questions:

- Your error message says "67/freezerDoor_open/", but pipmak stdout.txt
doesn't contain that, only "60/freezerDoorOpen/". Are you sure these are 
from the same run?

- How are you making the playVid function known to the node.lua code? 
I'm missing something like 'pipmak.dofile "playVid.lua"'. In particular, 
I want to know when and in what context playVid.lua is run.

I wonder if you could be using patches that are on an already left node, 
not on the current one. That doesn't work, but we should handle it more 
gracefully than by crashing or generating internal errors.
