Title: Trying to normalise zero-length Vector3f
Post by: Pilchard123 on July 18, 2010, 08:21:53 PM

What?

As far as I know, I haven't done anything that even mentions lengths, zero or otherwise, and also haven't used vectors. Yet the message

Unable to load level "Resources/Maps/Rallypoint Test" due to the following error: Trying to normalize a zero-length Vector3f

Help?

I had just that, but I had a mistake, that was the setting of

Code: [Select]

Globals.G.Asteroids=()
I have 12 andI had accidentally set 16 and that wrong
so I have to change it to 12

Ah...that would possibly be the problem. I hadn't put in any global stuff. Oops.

EDIT: Works now. I feel ever so slightly stupid now...

Hot Tip: It's easiest if you just always set Globals.G.Asteroids=(0)

It doesn't matter if you actually have 12, or 16, or 50 asteroids... if you set the global to zero, all it means is that the game won't try to auto-add any asteroids.  That's all that command does.

Was that the only change you made?

Usually just a typo or something.  It means you are referring to something that doesn't exist.  For example, GetAsteroid(8) when you only have 5 asteroids.  Were you previously relying on the game to create some of the asteroids randomly for you?
