Fatal error & warcraft 3 crash

[Exum]

Hi, my brother and me are creating maps, using triggers in GUI (we don't understand JASS at the moment ).
While testing my brother's map, his warcraft 3 stops without any error message. It is always at the same place, where a trigger like this is used :

• Déclencheur sans titre 003
  • Evénements
    • Unit - Phoenix from 0025 <gen> Takes damages
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacking unit) has buff Soins) Egal à TRUE
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set life of (Attacked unit) to ((Vie of (Attacked unit)) + (0.50 x (Damage taken)))

On mine, i can test solo without problem, but when i test with 2 or 3 players, we all get a fatal error message.
As i have many triggers i don't know which one could crash the game.
I use about 4-5 triggers using 0.01 sec Events, like this :

• Evénements
  • Temps - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 12, do (Actions)
    • Boucle - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • Si - Conditions
          • PhoenixForm[(Integer A)] Egal à TRUE
        • Alors - Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • Si - Conditions
              • (Distance between (Position of Phoenix[(Integer A)]) and PointPhoenixFlyght[(Integer A)]) Supérieur ou egal à 5.00
            • Alors - Actions
              • Unit - Move Phoenix[(Integer A)] instantly to ((Position of Phoenix[(Integer A)]) offset by 8.00 towards (Angle from (Position of Phoenix[(Integer A)]) to PointPhoenixFlyght[(Integer A)]) degrees)
            • Sinon - Actions
              • Animation - Reset Phoenix[(Integer A)]'s animation
              • Animation - Change Phoenix[(Integer A)]'s animation speed to 100.00% of its original speed
              • Set PhoenixForm[(Integer A)] = FALSE
              • Unit - Move Heroes[(Integer A)] instantly to PointPhoenixFlyght[(Integer A)]
              • Unit - Unhide Heroes[(Integer A)]
              • Unit - Make Heroes[(Integer A)] Vulnérable
              • Unit - Hide Phoenix[(Integer A)]
              • Unit - Move Phoenix[(Integer A)] instantly to (Random point in Hide phoenixs <gen>)
              • Selection - Select Heroes[(Integer A)] for (Player((Integer A)))
        • Sinon - Actions

And a lot more with much special effects, like this one :

• Fire nova
  • Evénements
    • Unit - A unit Initie l'effet d'une compétence
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Egal à Fire nova
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 24, do (Actions)
      • Boucle - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Fire bolt for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing (15.00 x (Real((Integer A)))) degrees

(Here units created are bolts which goes out from the triggering unit, with another trigger)
So here is my question : what can makes the game crash ?
Is there a maximum of value that warcraft 3 can calculate by an amount of time ? Or should we have to creat in JASS in order to avoid crashs ?
I saw a topic with a question near mine but i didn't see answer to my problem...

Thank you, and sorry for my bad level in english

What are that words?=.=
I think is hide hero first,then unhide hero.
and it use 0.01 seconds,do 100 times.Change to 0.02 or 0.03 =.=
and so much dummy,wacraft 3 sure hang 0.0

The damage taken trigger should look like this:

• Untitled Trigger 038
  • Events
    • Unit - Paladin 0022 <gen> Takes damage
  • Conditions
    • ((Damage source) has buff Acid Bomb) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Vie of (Triggering unit)) + (0.50 x (Damage taken)))

And get rid of the leaks, thay can ultimately cause the game to crash: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/triggers-scripts-269/things-leak-35124/

For a set of "Damage Taken" trigger, it MUST consist of TWO separate trigger
One to trigger the event:

• Damage Taken Start
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • *YOUR CONDITIONS*
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Add to Damage Taken Effect <gen> the event (Unit - (Triggering unit) Takes damage)
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

One for effect:

• Damage Taken Effect
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • *YOUR ACTIONS*

 

[Maker]

^No it doesn't if you use a specific unit. I don't recommed using "unit is attacked" as the event.

 

[Exum]

I found the problem with my brother's map, he made a trigger with an action like this :

• Unit - Cause (Damage source) to damage Boss, dealing (Damage taken) damage of attack type Sorts and damage type Normal

(Thanks to Maker, you made me wondering about "Damage source")
I didn't think that "Damage source" can't be use as an unit.

I read the post of "Things that leak", and now i'm full of questions :
- Why is it a waste to use "Triggering unit" instead of "Attacked unit" or any action dealt by the unit answering the event ?
- Should i have to creat a variable for each point / unit / effect ... i creat in order to delete it after use ?
- Is there any differents between "Remove unit" and "Kill unit" (In the purpose to avoid leaks) ?
- How can i know if my map will leak or not, without testing it 100 hours ?
- If i want to make a spell, like a fire nova, based on the creation of 24 or more fireballs (units), should i creat only one trigger with variables and so, or can i make one which creat fireballs, and one other which tells them to move, and then to be destroyed ? (As i don't know JASS, i use their attack as damage for my nova)

I have many other questions, but i think i'm myself leaking to the wrong thread

Edit :

For a set of "Damage Taken" trigger, it MUST consist of TWO separate trigger

In this case i use a "Specific unit event", but i wanted a lot of times to use "Damage taken" for units that wasn't created at the begining of the map. Your answer will be helpful, thanks

Thank for your answers.

What Event should you recommend then ?

 

[Vizel]

For the future, if you have a problem like this again, you can easily (Although it is time consuming) figure out where the problem lies within the triggers by turning them off.

Turn off sections of triggers at a time, then test, if the problem occurs again, check the triggers of the next section.

Do this till you don't run into the problem.

Good luck,

Hi, tryed again my map with some changes in order to avoid leaks.
While playing with one other player, had a fatal error :

Can someone tell me if it's due to a leak or whatever else please ?

[Vizel]

i have never seen a leak do that...

 

[Dr Super Good]

Ok what has happened is something in your map has caused Warcraft III to execute a jump instruction to an area of memeory that Warcraft III was not given access to and as such the opperating system threw the exception back which the game caught and shut down from.

Some how '0x0000000C' (in normal numbers this is byte 12 from memory) was referenced by a jump instruction. The jump instruction was located at 1780MB into your memory(not too sure if its giving physical or virtual adresses but am guessing physical as it was an acess vilation).

That is all that can be made out with the data you have given. Logically you must be doing something really bad to make it call such a broken instruction. Additionally blizzard must have made the game badly since you can get it to use such a broken instruction.

My knowledge of x86 is still lacking. Frankly its a massive amount to learn.

Hi, thanks for your answer Dr super good.

I tryed to localize the problem but it happens randomly, and only while playing with another player.

It is making me crazy, if someone could take time to see what's the problem in my map it would be realy nice (knowing that it's not big : 237 Ko).

Thank,

Exum

 

[cboy123]

I think your map leaks.

 

[Exum]

Can anyone takes a look at my map to show me what is the problem please ? :/

It's realy small

+Rep of course

Thanks,

Exum

 

[Maker]

Attach the map to your post.

 

[Exum]

Here, thanks

 

[Maker]

Fix all the leaks in your spells.

You are creating an insane amount of leaks. One of your triggers can create 400 leaks per second per player alone. And you have several of that kind of triggers.

That may leaks can cause the crash.

I don't recommend using 0.01 period, use 0.03.

 

[Exum]

Ok, i'll work on fixing all leaks.
Thank you !
