I keep encountering this error [expecting a list but getting a text], even though I've checked all the parameters involved and they are all lists of the right size. The code even works on the editor (albeit it still does show the error every time) but the error stops the code from running when I try to present the code. Is this a common occurrence and will I have to just change the way my code works?
For details, this comes up in a custom block that takes coordinates and matches it to a 2d list to output the item there. This block works in other scenarios, however the error occurs when I use the block in a different custom block, where the coordinates were a randomly generated set of 2 numbers stored in a script variable.
All the contents of every list I have are one digit numbers.
Maybe you can share the project, but this sounds to me like you aren't initializing your variables properly:
Would it be possible to share your code? We won't be able to help fix these issues if we can't see what's happening (especially if it's hard to notice).
i don't see what could be causing an error here (but i'm still getting it)

Aha! The issue occurs because your "myloc" variable is equal to the list [0,0] in the original sprite. When your script (see below) receives the update broadcast, it runs in the clones as well as the original sprite.
Your original sprite has the variable myloc equal to [0,0], which causes the error. Here is an annotated version of your code that shows why:
You can fix this simply by only running the code in the clones:
Note: Technically clones can be made permanent (in which case they show up in the sprite corral and are saved with the project), in which case
my [temporary? V] won't work, but in this context
my [temporary? V] works just fine.
This worked! Thank you so much!!
