[BUG] ​Anyone know the work around for this?

For reference, the error message generated was: /home/symbly/www/d20-api-server/node_modules/firebase/lib/firebase-node.js:1 orts, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { function f(a){throw a;}var j=v ^ Error: Firebase.child failed: First argument must be a non-empty string and can't contain ".", "#", "$", "[", or "]". at Error (<anonymous>) at Ha (/home/symbly/www/d20-api-server/node_modules/firebase/lib/firebase-node.js:12:204) at G.W.H (/home/symbly/www/d20-api-server/node_modules/firebase/lib/firebase-node.js:126:213) at TrackedObj._doSave ( Last I read on this was post from Riley: "And if I remember correctly there's an outstanding issue where if you try to set() things on new objects created with createObj() it causes an error. I believe there is a workaround that people have posted already, although this is definitely something I need to fix. Anywho, it's not specific to sheets at all, it's just that old bug." This is exact issue I am seeing.... error when trying "set() things on new objects created with createObj()" Anyone know the work around for this?

I can give you this. Im using it in one of my scripts. I didnt create it..all credit to Aaron, I totally stole it from Aarons turn script...as I was having the issue and realized he was making/moving a token in it. Call it directly after making the object/token: marker = createObj('foo bar', usual create info here); marker=fixNewObject(marker); then this function saved somewhere: //--Utility Function var fixNewObject = fixNewObject || function(obj){ var p = obj.changed._fbpath; var new_p = p.replace(/([^\/]*\/){4}/, "/"); obj.fbpath = new_p; return obj; };

Thanks.... I knew it was on here somewhere. Worked like a charm. I should put in the Random Dungeon Generator so you can turn the tiles before creating the Dynamic Lighting.

I can't take credit for it either, actually. Here's the version I'm using in my more recent scripts: var fixedCreateObj = fixedCreateObj || (function () { return function () { var obj = createObj.apply(this, arguments); if (obj && !obj.fbpath) { obj.fbpath = obj.changed._fbpath.replace(/([^\/]*\/){4}/, "/"); } return obj; }; }()); You'd just call fixedCreateObj() like you call createObj ,and it handles all the rest.
