You have a typo in the first objectList field. There’s a " symbol missing after "FIELDNAME1 – this breaks the rest of the xml markup.

hi ivan,
sorry yeah that was a typo that was js tthere from me pasting here and messing up while pasting.
the original source i copied from is this:

<value name="objInput">
            <shadow type="objectList">
                <field name="FIELDNAME1"><none></field>
            </shadow>
        </value>

where the none brackets are obviously & l t ; and & g t ; with no spaces (BBCode processes it)

and i still get the same issue.
also i’ve tried without the none material and still same.

Hi Ivan,
One thing however, using my solution is causing all the other shadow fields to be ignored.
It’s happening in some plugins and not happening in some others.
take for instance this one.
everything below the first objectList is empty without a shadow field now (thus missing recommended settings for users)

<block type="GLIFTEK_GEOMETRY_Extrude_Geometry">
        <value name="objInput">
            <shadow type="objectList">
                <field name="FIELDNAME1<none></field>
            </shadow>
        </value>
        <value name="nameInput">
            <shadow type="text">
                <field name="TEXT1">_myExtrudedObject</field>
            </shadow>
        </value>
        <value name="segmentInput">
            <shadow type="math_number">
                <field name="NUM1">4</field>
            </shadow>
        </value>
        <value name="depthScaleInput">
            <shadow type="math_number">
                <field name="NUM2">50</field>
            </shadow>
        </value>
        <value name="sideMatInput">
            <shadow type="materialList">
                <field name="FIELDNAME2"><none></field>

        </value>
        <value name="frontAndBackMatInput">
            <shadow type="materialList">
                <field name="FIELDNAME3"><none></field>
            </shadow>
        </value>
        <value name="bevelThicknessInput">
            <shadow type="math_number">
                <field name="NUM3">5</field>
            </shadow>
        </value>
        <value name="bevelSizeInput">

                <field name="NUM4">5</field>
            </shadow>
        </value>
        <value name="bevelOffsetInput">
            <shadow type="math_number">
                <field name="NUM5">0</field>
            </shadow>
        </value>
        <value name="bevelSegmentsInput">
            <shadow type="math_number">
                <field name="NUM6">5</field>
            </shadow>
        </value>
    </block>

any ideas? will this be fixed with the update as well? same problem maybe?

thanks

Hi Yuri,
I am checking through all my plugins (as reccommended per the Blockly update) and am finding many are error-ed ( red ).

one message that is most often is :
validation error – “TypeError: Block.prototype.getField expects a string with the field name but received null of type object instead”.

my XML in my init.plug file for one with this message is

      
<block type="GLIFTEK_Plugins_Template">
            <value name="objInput">
                <shadow type="objectList">
                    <field></field>
                </shadow>
            </value>
        </block>

if i comment out the shadow type=”objectList”
to the /shadow

then the plugin is functional again, yet is obviously missing the shadow dropdown list for objects in the scene that’s needed for it to function.

what is the new / other term used instead of “objectList” with the new puzzles / blockly?

I feel this will solve many issues in my plugins that are malfunctioning because of the update.

Thanks!

EDIT: in the “field” field i put the following and fixed it.

<field name="FIELDNAME"><none></field>

where ‘none’ is actually & l t ; none & g t ; (WITH NO SPACES. won’t come through properly because of BBCode.?)

( still many many errors in other plugins to fix )

final lesson from this post is that in init.plug files’ in the xml any <field> tags need a name now.

Could you show a screen shot of the puzzles you’re using?

Try activating it once the final element of your scene is loaded world be an obvious start, but I’m sure you’ve tried that.

Possibly separate your main object into a separate gltf file, then append that main object, then once that’s loaded, do your video?
