Pete,
Please read (or re-read) my posting.
Your problem is not g3d, it's the value for whichModel.
'me' should be set to the script - that would be proper.
But look at where you call the function, as in exitAction and where you
send down pSkip.
The logic here is convoluted:
test = sprite(10).camera(1).Modelunderloc(finpoint)
If test <> void then
If pskip <> test then
If pskip <> -1 then
Exitaction(me,pskip)
End if
EnterAction(me,test)
Pskip = test
End if
Else
if pskip <> -1 then
exitaction(me, pskip)
pskip = -1
end if
End if
Presumably the first line sets test to a model. And, then, if it's not the
same model you had, and pskip isn't -1, it sends it down, and sets pSkip to
the model, but it's a really convoluted way of doing it. I can't trace
through it here, but I can see some ways where it might get messed up. But
at any rate, check what pSkip is at the point where you call exitAction,
because I'll bet it ain't a model at the time you're calling it and it's
failing.
