I've ran into similar problems with helpers in the past.

type         = DestroySelf
trigger1      = (Parent, MoveContact) || (Parent, FrontEdgeBodyDist < -10) || (Parent, StateNo != 7027)

[State 7031:   VelSet]
type         = VelSet

[State 7031:    AfterImage]
type          = AfterImage
trigger1       = (!Time)
time          = 30
timegap      = 1
framegap       = 3
length       = 60

palmul       = .50, .50, .50
palcontrast    = 100, 100, 100
trans       = add


;might work placement priority of the destroyself and the velset or any other thing that might parent within the statedef.

That message is from a trigger that uses a parent redirect after the parent has already been destroyed.

If changing the code order doesn’t work you could try this:

The parent must be a helper for that to happen, so if you know that helpers ID(the parent) you could use numhelper(????) != 0 in [State 7031:   VelSet]. This way it only looks to the parent if the parent exists.

And adding numhelper(????) = 0 as the first trigger in the destroyself and setting the others to trigger2. You really shouldn’t need the second trigger though.
