Hi @Tilotus1

It’s very hard to answer without the actual code. Usually, if you get weird error messages that seem to have been originated in the engine’s code or the system, it’s because of something else that’s wrong in your code and the compiler didn’t recognize correctly.

Best way to figure it out is to start commenting chunks of code one by one and trying to compile again. If the error stops showing, then you know what part of the code is causing it.

You can also try to recompile the entire solution, maybe in Debug mode instead of Development. That way you have a better chance at getting a more accurate error message.

I have the same problem :frowning:
