I am trying to make an AI-controlled enemy and, to handle gravity, I have it have a platformer automatism. I then put into the events to simulate a right key press for the enemy. When it tries to compile the events, it generates compiler errors. What could be going wrong? I could link the project if you need it.
The reason I think it is a bug is because simulating key presses works just fine in my other project, a mini 2d minecraft clone.
You should send us the project. 
Okay, here is a link to the project’s folder. There should be a download button at the top of the page to download as a zip.

I have traced down the problem a bit as well. My events list is now composed of two events:
-when mouse clicked, make object A pathfind to the mouse.
-simulate pressing right for object B
This causes a compile error. If I disable one of them, there are no compile errors and the other event works just fine. E.G. disabling path tracing allows the key press to work, and disabling the key pressing allows the pathfinding to work.
This is a bug in GDevelop indeed.
This may work as a workaround :
- Put this file in “GDevelop Folder”\CppPlatform\Extensions\include\PathfindingAutomatism (and replace the one with the same name)
- PathfindingAutomatism.h (4.47 KB)
Hm, the link results in an error for me. Could you maybe put it on pastebin or something similar?

Wait, nevermind. My hard drive was full. 
Thank you, it worked perfectly 
it will be fixed “officially” in the next version of GDevelop.
