Run-time error
World: Aardwolf
Immediate execution
[string "Trigger: "]:15: attempt to index a nil value
stack traceback:
        [string "Trigger: "]:15: in main chunk

It took me a while to locate this trigger since it didn't have a label. It would help if the path was used to help locate the trigger there is no label.

Maybe:

[string "Trigger (path): (ungrouped) -> Progress thus far: (.+)"]

Hmm. Wasn't there a change a while back to include the trigger match pattern in errors? I must be misremembering, because I can't find any note about it.

A work-around is to make the trigger call a script in a script file (and not send-to-script) which would then give you the script function name and a line number.

Another thing you can do is turn on Trace (Game menu -> Trace) which tells you which triggers are being called.
