| Summary | 0006686: Script errors in map scripts cause game to hang/crash | ||||
| Description | Any sort of error in a map script can cause the game to hang. In my example, characters in a script function that appear after a closing semi-colon cause the game to hang, and then crash if attempt input. For example, this in <mapname>.script: void main() { sys.waitFrame();3 } The reason this is kind of severe is there is no indication whatsoever what the problem is and it's impossible to troubleshoot. All you can do as a mapper is revert changes to your map until it stops happening. But the thing is, the problem isn't in the map. I almost lost an entire night's work because I had to revert to a previous version of the project that I knew was in a working state. Luckily I had saved it in source control about an hour earlier. I only noticed the cause after I started adding bits back, and noticed the crash happened after I restored the script file. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Extract the attached FM project to your FMs directory 2. DMAP and start the map. It should freeze and then crash if you move the mouse around. | ||||
