annoying artifact error

This probably has some simple solution but I'm trying to make a unit capable of using different spell sets like the pyro in mazz. Problem is, every time I try to load a map with the artifact myth crashes, the log says "couldn't read header for projectile definition" and "artifact definition postprocess failed" How do I fix this?

it sounds like you need to link the artefact to a projectile (and make sure the projectile is linked to the artefact).

I checked, my artfact has a projectile tag and the projectile has the correct artifact tag...

what was the projectile definition it wanted?

it could be that it's trying to link to a file that doesn't exist...

did you asign an object tag to your projectile?

This is the error from the log, I do have it linked to an object tag. I simply made a duplicate of the "19 lightning key" proj. renamed it and switched the artifact tag to my artifact. Then I went to the artifact and linked it to the projectile.

did you place the artifact on the map?

Yes, I did. If someone would like to give a list of things to check for I can go through it and indicate what Ive already done.

Everything is properly linked, Artifact is on map, still wont work...

the projectile isnt failing the artifact is...

make sure you set the arts projectile to the right one or make sure it isnt linked at all...

it seems like its linked to a projectile with an empty header.. because of this ' ' in the first error
