Jass risk of fatal error?

[kruzerg]

1st try JASS and after configure it and use on my map , later my map unplayable anymore, caused fatal error (after removed the jass trigger my map back to normal)
from this abilities of jass http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...llpack-249340/?prev=search=jellal&d=list&r=20

is JASS really risk of fatal error or just that jellal ability is the one broken causing my map messed up

Just so you are aware GUI produces JASS when you save the map. WC3 triggers all run in JASS.

What is likely the case is that one of the JASS systems or abilities you use (from the spell pack) is doing something unsafe (crash prone). Such unsafe scripts should be able to be made safe (not crash).

 

[kruzerg]

so the reason my map crashed because of the jass coding is very bad in that jellal spellpack?

 

[PurgeandFire]

If the problem goes away when you disable the Jellal spellpack triggers, then yeah--the coding is bad. That resource wasn't approved.

Does it crash as soon as you open the map in warcraft 3? Or does it only crash when you use a spell?

 

[kruzerg]

yeah its crash the moment i open my map in warcraft 3, cant even get into game (if i test map its go to warcraft 3 main menu screen, not into the game)

the coding doesnt necessarily need to be bad per se, the problem, from the memory address could just as much be that he is trying to call Player native with index >15 or <0.

If your map crashes while you load it in editor, it has nothing to do with Jass, the Editor does nothing with Jass, so it is probably faulty model or skin.

If it is during loading, it is still not guaranteed to be jass tho, the Jass gets interpreted as the loading bar goes slightly after half, so if it crashes before, it is again some fault in the map itself(could be corrupted unit data for instance), but yes, more often than not, Jass is responsible for crashes

If you test the game with JNGP and it goes into main menu, it means the vJass code in the map is not parsed, and the game does quick validation check over the Jass code(probably because it is trying to convert it to bytecode at that instance), so if it sees something that is not valid, it will throw you to main screen instead.

Try using "save" instead of "save as" in newgen. Does that help?

 

[kruzerg]

so in other words my map have posibillity to unable to using jass because like you said the models not compatible with jass? so its will crash

zwiebelchen: its doesnt my friend

 

[Zwiebelchen]

Jass has nothing to do with the models. Check out some other spells. Does it still crash? If so, just don't use the spellpack. It's not approved anyway, so not guaranteed to even work.

 

[edo494]

no. If you have faulty model, and you place it in editor in the map, then when you save the map, close the editor and open the map via the editor again, chances are your map will crash even when loading in editor.

If the map crashes during loading however, it can be more, it can indeed be Jass problem, but it doesnt need to be(A lot of natives will crash the game when called on map initialization[even shit like I2S will crash, which si completly hilarious]), but it can just as much be some corrupted data, like some thing went wrong when you were setting life for a unit or something.

As Zwieb said, Jass and Models are completly disjoined fields

 

[kruzerg]

before using jass, my map never crash or error
and its crash not while loading but click the map
if i save the map and open it again, its not crash

 

[edo494]

sorry, but your information is too vague. We cant really boil it down with this much information

 

[kruzerg]

anyway this spellpack jass is not right from my opinion
next time if i use other approved jass but still fatal error, then its my map model or skin or other import thing is corrupted

 

[Dr Super Good]

The spell pack map was not built correctly. As such it crashes during load when you test it. If you re-build it (save again in JNGP) it gets in game.

In game I did not experience a crash when using all the abilities, however that does not mean that it is stable it could still crash rarely.

 

[kruzerg]

i tried another jass in my map (my 2nd and 3rd attempt to applying jass to my map)

its worked fine, no sign of fatal error at all, so the one wrong is that jellal trigger spell pack

but i like jellal.mdx model on jellal spellpack map and several spell import model and i took it on my map , just dont know how to making anime characters into warcraft 3
i heard it can be created from war3 model editor but i dont know how to use it hehe
