Hi. I got some error in my scrypt and it's very hard to find it because it's happening very rarely (almost 1 in 100 cases). Before I start telling you about it I'm sure that the timers (16@ and 17@) are not causing it because I puted them in scrypt yesterday and me and this error met eachother a long time ago. The problem is that sometimes when I hit the pilot in the head or when I blow up a heli-the game crashes and just as I said before it's very rare (mostly when I shot a pilot in the head the game crashes before heli even start to simulate crash landing). The scrypt has several ideas (and I would like to stay that way): if a pilot is being shot the heli will simulate crashing, if a heli is blown up with a projectile he'll explode instantly. Here's the scrypt:

Just one more thing-why the below opcode crashing the game? Is it because it can't be used on a dead actor?

CODE

01C2: remove_references_to_actor 1@ ;; Like turning an actor into a random pedestrian

[fastman92]

CODE

01C2: remove_references_to_actor 1@;; Like turning an actor into a random pedestrian

Just because actor is dead he isn't meant to vanish itself if he's on list of "needed" vehicles controlled by script.

Actually native SCM command was:

CODE

MARK_CHAR_AS_NO_LONGER_NEEDED

Yes I know but when I put that opcode in the "ENDD" label-the game crashes instantly so I have no choice but to use "destroy_actor" command instead of "remove_references_to_actor". My question is will the game crash if I use "remove_references" on the alive actor? Also I'm guessing that scrypt error (that is happening rarely in a moment when pilot 3@ is killed) has something to do with heli (or pilot) helth. This damn error is boring me for the passed two weeks. Does anybody have any idea why the game crashes? Of course I could make heli to be completely bulletproof and explosion proof but it's much more realistic if a heli explodes when I hit him with a projectile (or start simulation of crash landing if a pilot is no longer in heli).

01C2 is for characters (actors). You have assigned 1@ to a car.

[JACK JONES]

But my SB showing me 01C3 which is for cars. See it yourself:

[Bad.boy!]

You're talking about different opcodes, spaceeinstein meant this:

CODE 01C2: remove_references_to_actor 1@;; Like turning an actor into a random pedestrian

[JACK JONES]

Oh that - that's not an error - I chose number 1@ randomly to show that opcode which I expelled from the scrypt and replaced it with another one but I don't know why the game crashes sometimes when I kill the pilot.
EDIT: It's solved (I think).

I'm sorry for bringing this up guys but the same (pilot dead - start heli crash) error is happening again in my scrypt. The reason I want to talk about this is because I forgot to mention that I made some changes in the weapon.dat file so I got to ask - could such changes (in weapon.dat file) effect on my CLEO scrypt and cause the mysterious game crashing in a moment when I kill the pilot with one of the riffles? Here are the details about my weapon.dat:

When I'm shooting at the heli I mostly use the m4 weapon which I changed to be the same as m16 from gtaIII (60 bullets in clip, higher speed of firying and increased damage effect). And I tested the scrypt for the past 6 days until I finaly realised that the same error is still happening.
EDIT: And this "remove_references_to_actor" opcode is working now but the game crashing (after pilots death) still continous (rarely).

I just tested the scrypt in the original Vice City and the game crashing happened again (after I shot the actor 3@) which means that the error is definitely IN the CLEO scrypt - non related to anything else besides the scrypt. The crashing is probably happening because of this opcode:

CODE

0564: set_vehicle 1@ helicopter_simulate_crash_landing

I'm almost 95% sure because when I expel that opcode from the scrypt the crashing stops and this is not the first time that 0564 crashing the game. Does anyone know why this opcode making troubles in my scrypts? Maybe I don't use it properly? If anyone read this please tell me everything you know about the 0564.
Also I made some changes in my scrypt (it's basicly the same - I only used diferent method of scrypting so I could expand it in the future):

tell me everything you know about the 0564.

all i know about this is
0564 is not in my OPCrash list,
it used to make a Chopper crash on land,
it is used simply as others,
i have tested & it's 100% working.
----------------------------------------
does the game still crash after this Script ?
if yes then tell me what exactly you want this script to do!

[JACK JONES]

Yes this last scrypt is still crashing (I spend the whole day testing it and the crashing is happening SOMETIMES when I eliminate the pilot 3@). The idea is that heli should start simulation of a crash landing only if a pilot is no longer in heli (like when I kill him he drops from the heli and the simulation starts but sometimes in that moment the game crashes - not always). And if a heli is hit with a projectile he'll explode instantly as you can see in the scrypt:

CODE

if 0185:   car 1@ health >= 149500 else_jump @EXPLO1

So if a pilot is outside the heli - crash landing simulation, if a heli is hit with a projectile - instant explosion. After one of these two evants everything goes from the begining - the hunter will dissappear and a new hunter will show up if the number of stars is bigger then 3. And if a player is wasted or busted the heli will dissappear and the code continuous from the start. And the heli should follow player in a certain distance. Soldiers have orders to shoot at him on site.
EDIT: 4 sec after crash landing simulation the heli should explode with radius 11.

Your bullsh*t sentence doesn't mean anything and it's not related with my topic. WTF are you doing here? You're not one of those native english speakers aren't you? If that's the case then I'll tell you in your words: "Not to Spamming Here" .
