Sandbox LUA Error [UNSOLVED]

Hello. In the most recent version of the game, I keep getting multiple errors and bugs. This is the one that comes up the most often whenever I click a button to start, I go into Sandbox, or what-have-you. ---------------------------
Lua Error:
---------------------------
tolua++ dbcall failed!: [string "--shared\functional\SANDBOX_DATA\CCarCalculat..."]:87: attempt to index field 'Body' (a nil value)

You can CTRL+C on this to report it.

EDIT: More bugs that are not the same

---------------------------
Lua Error:
---------------------------
Step() failed!: [string "--shared\functional\SANDBOX_DATA\CCarCalculat..."]:81: [string "--shared\functional\SANDBOX_DATA\CCarCalculat..."]:223: attempt to index field 'EngineInfo' (a nil value)

You can CTRL+C on this to report it.

Could someone PLEASE help me? I absolutely LOVE Automation but it is bug-galore. Thanks!

~Thomas

Re: Sandbox LUA Error [UNSOLVED]

Try deleting all of your models and engines. Yes, it is crude, but that often resolves that particular .lua error.

Re: Sandbox LUA Error [UNSOLVED]

Thank you, I will try that. After all, I have had multiple issues with the car calculator, aspiration, etc. and calculation stuff.

They will be in Documents/Automation/Models (or Engines) :)

Re: Sandbox LUA Error [UNSOLVED]

For some reason it's not there. I changed the directory to install on my D: drive, would that change the location of the models?

Re: Sandbox LUA Error [UNSOLVED]

It did affect it as there is only the game folder. Can't find any Automation things in This PC (I have Windows 8.1) Documents, any other ideas?

Re: Sandbox LUA Error [UNSOLVED]

Thanks Daffy. I really love Automation but for me it's so buggy! I'll hope that when the Steam release is here there won't be as many bugs (even though it is in Early Access)

Re: Sandbox LUA Error [UNSOLVED]

There is in some strange case on both windows 7 and 8.1 where user/permissions settings are different and causes the My Documents\Automation folder has teleported to the Administer's Documents directory.

Try downloading and running this http://automationgame.com/gamefiles/Ope ... ectory.exe

And see if it finds and opens the correct folder.
