Savegame crash with createSimpleObject

[lexx 1392]

Fellow mission makers, I need a wee bit of help again.

 

Can anyone try this test mission? A mission file with 1 player, 1 game logic and the game logic has the following init code:

test = [] spawn {
    _largeSplash = createSimpleObject ["a3\characters_f\blood_splash.p3d", getPosWorld _this];  
    _largeSplash setDir random 360;
};

If I save the mission and then load the savegame, I am getting a memory allocation related crash (0xC0000005 - ACCESS_VIOLATION ... the best of all errors).

 

It took me 3 damn hours of debugging until I've found out why my mission crashs on loading, but others don't.

 

Now the next questions are:

1. Did I miss something and is the code above wrong?

 

2. Can someone else reproduce the crash or is it just me?

 

 

/Edit: Did some more tests. It's not the game logic that is crashing the game, it's the creation of the simple object. If I put the code into some init.sqf without spawn {}, etc. the same memory error appears.

 

/Edit2: Tried the wiki example for createSimpleObject - again, 100% repro crash.

 

Did something change? Feature or Bug?

I got your code to work from a trigger, gameLogic init, init.sqf and didn't get any memory errors.  In the editor or in Single Player scenarios as well.

That's weird. I can reproduce this in every single mission file no matter where and how I write the code. Just verified my game cache just to be sure, but same- nothing changes.

 

Should I post this on the feedback tracker or something? Never made a ticket before, so no idea about that stuff.

I'll guess nobody else experiences this?

I get the same as Lexx, works every where ok until i try to save a SP scenario and then reload that save. Arma crashs with arma3.exe stopped working, 'Thread tried to read/write from a virtual address to which it does not have the appropriate access'.
I have put a ticket in Lexx HERE if you want to add your info/miniDump aswell.

 From today's dev branch changelong:

 

 

 

• Fixed: Crash when loading a scenario with the createSimpleObject command in use

Just tried it- works perfect now.

 

 

Next, only the Gorgon's smoke launcher needs fixing, then all my current problems are solved. :>
