John,

Looks like you are referring to "potatodts" instead of "potato.dts" in the script "folder name/folder name/potato/potato.cs".
The error basically means that preloading (which typically happens during a mission load) has failed. This is usually due to missing or corrupt assets.

James you mean that my .dts file maybe corrupt? i was just testing how sequence animation works in TGE using -show.... my potato.cs only contains this:


datablock TSShapeConstructor(potatodts)
{
baseshape = "potato.dts";
sequence0 = "./potato_root.dsq root";
};

thanks for replying Good day

Baseshape = "potato.dts"; <-- There is no path to your potato.dts. That's your problem.
baseshape = "~data/shapes/potato.dts"; or whereever your dts shape is.
