Hi Guanglei, the error is raised because the value of the colvar is copied
from one place to the other. The plural refers to the values, not the
colvar.
Depending on what you're trying to do, some things may or may not be
supported, because distanceDir is not a scalar number, it's a 3-dimensional
vector with norm 1. What you can do is to apply harmonic constraints,
optionally moving, and perform metadynamics, although there is no function
yet to automatically project the results onto a grid for visualization
purposes.
If you find that the error message occurs no matter what you do, it should
be because of a bug that was fixed in NAMD 2.7b2.
Bests
Giacomo
