Apparently the shield health isn't getting propagated right from the sim.

At first look the code and the bp seems right. Does the same thing happen with other commander shieldupgrades on your setup?

It does not. I used winmerge and compared the code with the FAF Aeon Shield upgrades, and they are almost identical. Aside from the obvious changes to make it work for the new Cybran model parts, I dont see why its causing the issue :\

I posted the entire ACU script and BP, and labeled what line the shield info is at...

What other code would you be referring to?

So what does the traceback say "trying to perform arithmetic on a nil value 'shieldmaxhealth, a nil value"

So that strongly suggests that you haven't declared a value for the variable you are trying to perform a function on.

In that case, the error would be undefined variable.

What you're referencing is uninitialized, or just set to nil. Would need to see the code to say why that is.

If it is, this should be in general discussions- (sub section useful tools and mods).
Tech Support is for fixing problems with the lobby and base game.
I will move it to there.

Sorry, Didint know any better

And if you can move it to general, then Please

This is for my mod that Im trying to make compatible with FAF.

ACU Script - Shield Ench starts at Line 344

ACU BP - Shield Info at 552

Any idea why this happens? The Ench seems to work fine, but when I mouse over the ACU when this upgrade is used/on, the UI throws up errors and doesnt work.
