spy mission lua error caused by empty item

Aug 27, 2006 mr_spuck link
In the third spy mission one of the bots is supposed to drop a stasis pod once its health drops below 50%. Somethings wrong with that. He doesn'T drop it and when I blow the bot up he drops an item without description and value which causes a lua error when I target it.

I once heard the pickup sound and saw that little puff of smoke when he was supposed to drop the thing. So maybe he immediately picks it up again, which turns the stasis pod into that weird item.

interesting. We made bots able to pick up cargo but didn't make a way to flag cargo as un-pickupable by bots.

Just an observation . I had a couple of stasis pods in my inventory collected from the spy mission. They used to display an icon which was just a plain white square . I now notice that no icon is displayed , just the description 1 x Stasis Pod.

I don't know if this relates to the bug recorded by Mr S , but hope the info helps anyway.

Ecka.

No
I think the station display just displays nothing if the item has no icon now. you'll still see the square in the ship inventory box if you load it up.
