maximum allowed workers?

[Martin-L45]

when using more than 10 workers i get the following lua error
2021-07-06 16:52 Error: Running LUA method 'update'.
2021-07-06 16:52 dataS/scripts/vehicles/Vehicle.lua(2920) : attempt to index a nil value

In #7255 i thought this was caused by autodrive. but a test on ravenport with only Courseplay in the modfolder i get the error.
The error reappears every time i tap into the tractor with the 11th Courseplay driver.

We don't have created a limit actually...
I don't know if there is a limit by GIANTS.
Will have to test that.

I found this interesting topic to that Error (german Forum).

I´ll take a look. but my German is very bad. (google translate)
Don´t know if it is useful. But i tried running 11 tractors with autodrive and i did not get the error. Maybe the fix Stephan used in Autodrive can be used?

[Tensuko]

We will have a look, weird that it comes up suddenly...

[Martin-L45]

Maybe there is not many people that use more than 10 drivers?
I just tried with V6.02.00079 and did not get any error
But with V6.03.00058 the error is there. You want me to try to pin down the version where it started?

[Tensuko]

No, since those Versions are way to old...

[Martin-L45]

Ok. Let me know if you need me to try anything

FS19 has an implicit limit of 10 (Letters A-J) helpers, counting vanilla AI drivers, CP drivers, AD drivers, AIVE drivers...
It runs out of helper names. More about this here: https://github.com/Stephan-S/FS19_AutoDrive/issues/1910
Maybe having 11 CP helpers does not cause an issue but 11 CP helpers + pressing 'H' does.
AD fix: Stephan-S/FS19_AutoDrive@f472f5d

I might guess this is becouse we changed all our Drivers to GIANTS AI Drivers.

i tried jala15´s fix and added the "maps_helpers.xml" with 20 helpers to my modmap this solved the issue for me.
But changing basegame files usually breaks multiplayer. So this fix is only for modmaps... Right?

Yes, changing files breaks multiplayer. I'd recommend to not change anything and wait for a fix, but if you managed to change it in your mod map and it works fine that's ok 👌
That modified mod map will not be MP ready anymore, but you can always redownload it

[Martin-L45]

Just did a test with your fix. 12 tractors running and no error. This is pretty awesome...

Thanks for your hard work

Great, thanks!
I thought it was my own mod generating this lua error. lol
Its just too many workers hehe.

Thanks for the fix cp team!

Should be fixes with the newest version :)

I still have the problem, that I can´t have more than 10 helpers. When I try to employ the 11th, I get this error:

2021-09-09 14:29 Error: Running LUA method 'mouseEvent'.
2021-09-09 14:29 C:/Users/Nutzer/Documents/My Games/FarmingSimulator2019/mods/FS19_Courseplay/base.lua:1247: attempt to index local 'currentHelper' (a nil value)

I use version 6.4.0.6.

Edit: I only use CP helpers.

[Tensuko]

Next Version will have this fixed.

[dete96]

Ah! Sorry mate. I thought it should already be in the actual version and for some reason doesn't work for me. Thank you for your work!
