Many of you have been getting this error and I thought I should explain how this happens so you can avoid it. It looks something like this.ERROR: 5B
DESCRIPTION: Object variable or With block variable not set
IN: subAnimateThis error occurs when you try to load a train onto tracks which don't exist in your map file. How can this happen? Simple:a) Someone downloads a map, modifies the tracks, perhaps deleting or adding some tracks, and then posts a train (.tr1) with some cars sitting on his custom track work.b) Or perhaps you were editing your own map and deleted some lines that had cars on them!So, the lesson is:
Don't post .tr1 trains from custom tracks, because the other person will not be able to use the train. Or to be safe, "DON"T USE THE .tr1 FEATURE (i.e. remember train positions) AT ALL!"Jim
