[Solved] Game Crashes when starting melee AI for race Undead!

[K.V.]

Greetings Hivers, i am new to this forum, and i am currently working on a map in my free time.. i'm not very good at triggers, so some help would be appreciated.
My problem is as the title states, to give more details on the occurrence of the crashing i post a quick example of the trigger.
Event - Map initialization
Actions -
Melee Game - Create Undead starting units for Player 6 (Orange) at (Player 6 (Orange) start location) (Exclude Heroes)
AI - Start melee AI script for Player 6 (Orange): undead.ai
and the game crashes after a minute or two with an error popping up.

Hello King Valdezar. You could use these tags for posting your triggers here:

As for the units themselves, I think it has something to do with the behavior of the AI not reacting properly to the newly created units.
Nothing wrong here except with the attempt at integration with AI.

The Ai used is the default blizzard AI for each race, although the same actions work with no problem for all other 3 races(orc,human,elf) for the undead race the game just crashes as soon as it starts... i can't figure a solution, so any kind of information will be usefull. thanks in advance.

When you create the starting undead units, did you check if the race of the AI is undead as well? This could be one of the reasons why it crashes, or you can post the entire trigger here. This would help a lot in debugging.

Nothing seems out of the ordinary here.

Have you tried reading out the error message?
Have you checked if you have other triggers present? (They could be the cause of the error)

The error is bla bla bla "the memory could not be "read". My observations so far are that the game crashes the moment computer undead orders an acolyte to build his first structure, thus deleting the line "Melee Game - Set starting resources (for all players)" makes him gather some in order to start buidling which eventually leads to a crash, and if the line is not deleted game crashes instant because the normal blizzard Ai is scripted to start building(using the starting resources) as soon as the game starts.
The only other triggers in the map are Dota-like creeps spawned for other computer players, which don't use any AI.

Haha i accidently solved it by moving the undead start location and gold mine a few squares away , what an unexpected solution though !!!
MyPad thank you for your attention to this matter .
