[8.41] critical error

[DerSatan]

just got a critical error.

situation: i had a teleport breaker placed, an exploder teleports to me (~600 away from the breaker), but appears next to me. (dunno if thats a bug, cuz i dunno if he is redirected instantly or after some milliseconds)

some milliseconds after that teleport, wc3 crashes. dunno what the other guys have done.


and btw: please check the level requirements for the demon tank's banish. seems that you can skill it earlier sometimes (banish lvl 5 on demon tank lvl 10).

next game, next critical error!

this game was with teleport breakers again. i set some during the game, and they worked without error. then a mate of mine told us to buy teleport breakers, i dunno if someone did, but ~3 minutes later critical error.

hmm i hate criticals... i think we will have to take a look into that
but best would be, if you would find a constant rule for that... like only for exploders or something like that...
this would be a task for the developer team

I haven't checked in 8.41 but in AFAIR in 8.34 or in 8.39 I had an exact scenario.

Here it is:
1. Enemy has a bomber with explosives.
2. We buy Teleport Breaker and setting it NEAR FLAG.
3. My Tank stays ON THE FLAG.
4. Evil enemy bomber teleports right into you(INTO THE FLAG).
5. Bomber is being teleported to the Teleport Breaker.
6. Game crashes.

I had fatal errors with the flag, when I was a guard and was rooted on the flag, while I put a teleport breaker with some distance.

[8.35] Fatal error - tb + guard + flag + exploder

This happens everytime! I don't know why this is happening, but it could be a warcraft bug or trigger bug perhaps; when adding and removing the flag ability at the same time. Just my guess.

[kuronekonin]

hm, if the problem is caused by the flag

and the flag ability is activated by a trigger

maybe change it so that the flag gives a small regeneration aura instead? triggers tend to create problems while regular stuff is just fine

i also think its possible to have a dark/light force unit that looks like a falg but cant be clicked while it is hidden on the mini-map placed at the strategic location spots.

(p.s. if exploder+breaker animation bug hasnt been fixed yet, please take away exploder death animation of 'explode on death' and change it so that like .5 seconds after dying it explodes... match it up with the short-delayed dmg)

NEW FATAL ERROR!

I did get critical error in a game tonight!

It happened when I teleported into an enemy mine as a exploder and was relocated by a enemy teleport breaker. -> FATAL ERROR


I think teleport breaker is a source of fatal errors! Maybe some code change which might perhaps prevent this in the future?

[SirJoghurt]

yes.. there is something wrong with the teleportbreaker.. i got 2 or 3 error's to in early games.. when i played Tinker and setup one on the middle hill near the yellow flag..when Team 2 got a exploder that early...

--> i setup--> exploder ports in the area around the shop in middle... --> porter was going to work..0,01 sec. later crash :mrgreen:

Ok guys, this fatal error should be fixed now for the next version.

[DerSatan]

nice! critical errors always suck.

please check the level requirements for the demon tank's banish. seems that you can skill it earlier

i just checked that. banish has no level requirement at all. (it has requirements, but only theoretical ones :roll: )

means you can have banish lvl 5 when you are lvl 5. i really suppose its a bug.

[Exodus]

Yeah, thats also fixed.
