crashing problem

[NerdFencer]

the map i am making is (for an unknown reason) crashing the game every once in a while. I'll include an unprotected copy of the map for anyone to try to figure out why (please no stealing and making ripoffs, I have put countless hours into this map so far). Please, if anybody can figure out how to fix it, it is MAJORLY slowing my progress.

Ill check your triggers for leaks.

Does it lag lots before a crash or does it just do it suddenly? probably an endless loop, but lots of leaks could do it too.

endless loops dont cause crashes, they cause freezes.

 

[MagnusCalgar]

most crashes i have found stem from either leaks or abilties with problematic fields

i.e. negative numbers numbers to large etc.

endless loops dont cause crashes, they cause freezes.

Endless loops as in

loop
endloop

or

loop
exitwhen false
endloop

don't cause crashes, merely lag spikes and then a thread crash.

However, infinite loops such as

A Unit enters <region>
Move (Triggering Unit) to <same region>

will cause a game crash.

Steel_Cold, thanks for checking my triggers.
In a recent test one of my testers (RyGuy5357) found a bug in the item combo system, that i think may be a leak, but in the times it has crashed that I know of, nobody was making item combos.
I still thought it has a chance of being helpful.
Thanks again

P.S.
I am attempting to re-write the item combo triggers to not use any variables just in case

You need variables to deal with the leaks... The leaks come from not using variables in the first place. (You can't clean up a location unless you stored it in a variable for use)

Thanks for the advice, but how do you "clean up" a variable after you use it?
