crashdome 2 Posted December 28, 2001 Ohhhhhh.....  I'm so happy...  Spent hours with this and finally found root of problem. OK, I'll try and explain without writing a book about it. When Using the Createunit command to make units for the player to control via a script there is a BIG BUG in the init line value. For example, a script such as: "SoldierWB" createunit [pos,group player,"dostop this",1,"PRIVATE"] exit  - does not work and causes crash to desktop however: "SoldierWB" createunit [pos,group player,"randomtext",1,"PRIVATE"] exit - causes error: exit|#| local variable in global space Hmmmm.. ok.. problem must be that the init line in that array is never finished.. i.e. the second " is never considered to end the value such as: randomtext",1,"private"]exit is considered to be everything in the init line(to my knowledge) So even when you put "" it works, but not correctly and can cause a crash later on when ordering units around. So how do we get around this? you can live with the defaults and keep it short: "soldierWB" createunit [pos,groupname] - this works with every script I tried but you must live with 0.5 skill levels and Privates OR - I also tried this: _testarray=[pos,group player,"",skill,rank] "soldierWB" createunit _testarray exit - this also worked everytime! HOWEVER: by adding "dostop this" instead of "" into _testarray I still got booted to desktop. So we are going to have to live without init lines until they find the problem and fix it (or someone else thinks of something). I am not sure why, "SoldierWB" createunit [pos,group player,"",skill,rank] doesn't work correctly. Like I said, it seems to work but then shoots me to the desktop when I tell him to move to a tree or board a tank, but "SoldierWB" createunit _testarray seemed to work 100% when I left the init line "". Can anyone comment on that or my other findings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spinor 0 Posted December 30, 2001 I´ve experienced the same. The strange thing is this only happens when using CreateUnit within a script. If used in a trigger the command works normally even with a nonempty Init-line Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
