[Crash] Making map crash on demand

[sethmachine]

Hi,

What is the simplest trigger to make a map crash on demand for a given set of players (could be a single player or all of them)? (e.g. a player enters a certain command string)?

This is purely for scientific purposes.

I think infinite loops crash the game.

Player(99)

there are many ways.

no.

Player(99)

This is the most common way... I believe you can also feed a unit negative coordinates

What about for a specific player? Would not calling Player(99) just crash the game for everyone?

if (GetLocalPlayer() == SpecificPlayer) then
    call Player(99)
endif

create units outside of map bounds will also cause crash.

Generally crashing players on demand is considered an error in any resulting map as under no circumstances of play should a player crash. In a stable and high quality map all players should exit the game in an expected way.

These are...
1. Main menu then exit to score screen.
2. Atl+F4 then exit game.
3. Being defeated and exiting, either to menu or to score screen.
4. Winning and exiting, either to menu or to score screen.
5. Telling the program to close, usually from task bar or task manager.

The following methods of program termination are not controlled but of no fault or concern to the map maker.
1. Unexpected system shutdown, usually as a result of a power failure.
2. Critical hardware failure. Usually causing an unrecoverable process error.
3. Unrecoverable operating system error (BSoD) forcing a system restart.
4. Forced process destruction at an operating system level (task manager using end process tree).
5. Random bit flip error causing an unrecoverable process error.
