Help! Deleting a field

Post by wetThumbs33 » Sat Dec 11, 2021 10:15 pm

Hello all, I''ve been just a lurker here and have a question I'm hoping I might get help with. Is there any reason why a field can't be deleted by script all of a sudden? I have a few fields being moved to point A to point B with the "move" command and at the end of the moves they are each removed with the "delete" command, but just one of these fields will not delete.

I get an error: card "Dash": execution error at line n/a (Object: stack locked, or object's script is executing) near "field "temp11" of card "Dash" of stack "/Users...

I can delete it manually or by stopping the script and sending the command through the message window. It's driving me nuts, about to give up after coming so far.

Hi.

Odd. Can you post your script?

Where is the script located? If it's in the field, it can't delete itself.

That seems unlikely as the chap states it is only one of the fields that won't go "poof".
