Script (Not Responding) at Unit (VERIFY): 101

System information - Windows 10 Pro, i7 Intel processor at 3.4GHZ, 16 GB Ram.

Any assistance appreciated.

Forgive me if you know this, but - Unit Scripts do take some time to verify. You can see the progress at the bottom left of the screen. Maybe you are not waiting long enough ?

For me, Unit & other scripts appear to lock up when verifying/compiling - the progress indicator freezes etc - but if you wait long enough the process eventually completes OK.

I played with different save patterns and I found one that worked. Saved the file without updating the script. Reopened file and then did an update on just the Unit Script. It worked and I no longer have the "Not Responding" issue.

Great to hear and just in case and to confirm, it does take a long time to recompile and most likely it probably seemed to not be responding, but just needed time to wrap up the compile.
