Suddenly can't create inventory interactions

Saturnine

I added a new inventory item in the AC Game Editor, named it, added the Main and Active graphics, everything is working fine and I can pick it up in game and see it in the inventory menu, but when I click create on the Examine in the Standard interactions it does nothing and the console fills up (same for Use etc)
ArgumentException: parsing "[^\w_]" - Unrecognized escape sequence _.
System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexParser.ScanCharEscape () (at :0)
This means nothing at all to me, hope someone can help?
Thanks in advance!

What are your AC and Unity versions?

It sounds like there's an issue with the item's name. Does it contain any special characters?

Clicking "Create" beside an Interaction is optional, however. If the button is not working for this item, you can separately create a new ActionList asset by right-clicking inside the Project window, and then drag-drop it into the Interaction field to manually assign it.

Thanks for the reply Chris my version is v1.60.4 I checked and checked for special characters but it seems to be no different to any of my other inventory items, I tried renaming them to something very simple and it still didn't allow me to create, so I made an action list and assigned it, but it didn't work, as if there still wasn't one. This is weird I already have 20 inventory items and they all worked fine, I haven't updated recently so there shouldn't be anything different

What is the item's name, and what is the error message in full?

As you're using a very old AC version, it's likely this has since been fixed - what's your Unity version?

so I made an action list and assigned it, but it didn't work, as if there still wasn't one

Can you elaborate on this? Do any messages appear?

My Unity version is 2020.2.5f1

The items name is Scrubbing Brush, I have other items that work fine like Silver Key, so it can't be spaces or Capital letters giving me the issue, as far as I can tell the new item is just like any other

Fixed now, found the answer in an older thread,
Chris, you said:
defaultName = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace (defaultName, "[^\w\_]", "");

And replace it with:

defaultName = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace (defaultName, "[^\w\._]", "");

And that has fixed it, older version of AC I guess. Didn't know where to find that file let alone edit it so needed some help but It's fixed now Thanks Chris and thanks Adam
