Let me begin by stating that in no way, shape or form, this is an urgent message as I didn't even make it past coding the first room. However, after adding a line that would make cEgo (yes, the standard guy) walk to a set coordinate in a room, the entire game stopped working. I tried to save the project and I ran into this wall of text

Yes, that's an impressive amount of text, especially if you have no idea what most of it means.

I've looked on the forums for more about this question, but it seems like the problem is always something different and I've tried the following "Solutions" so to speak

A) Made a backup, deleted the original files, restored the backup, this did nothing
B) Restarted the computer and attempted to rebuild the files. As soon as I click Rebuild, I get the same error as above
C) looked in the control panel to see if the game is somehow running somewhere, I could not find this
D) Tried to put cEgo in different rooms to start, this did nothing either
E) Remove the new lines that I put in, this didn't work either

It seems that it's only this one game though, I tried making a new game and that seems to work fine.
So I have the following 2 questions

A) Can this be fixed somehow ?
B) How can I prevent this from happening in the future ?

I would appreciate all the help and suggestions you could offer.


Thanks in Advance
