Error Message

[FroznYoghurt]

Hi i've been receiving error messages when testing my map, wouldn't be that big a deal if it wasn't for that it exits Warcraft. Most of the times it was when my casting unit attaked another unit after using a certain spell.

This is what it looks like;

Why does it appear? What should i do? Is the fault in my computer or is it in the map?

il be happy to + rep for a solution.

> is it in the map?

Yes.
Most likely some trigger that is doing weird stuff.
Disable them one by one until it doesn't crash anymore.

Well i guess that helps to know(+rep), but since it almost only happens from a certain spell i know what trigger it is, and it is a riddicilously simple trigger. Is it any certain things that usually makes this happen?

Edit: ' says i must spread rep before giving you.

Edit2: Think i got the hold of it, i was repeatingly destroying an allready destroyed lightning effect. Didn't suspect that would matter that much :O

Most common errors are:

A loop that runs endless (JASS)
Divide by 0 (BOTH)
Display message to player(-1) (mostly JASS)
Endless run a trigger (run this trigger) (BOTH)

Unfortunately, there's plenty of ways to crash the game...

Like using units that don't exist anymore.
Creating a unit that has a circular dependency.
Moving lightnings underground.
...

Though, if you already have the trigger, try posting it.

It's cool, i think i got the hold of it, i was repeatingly destroying an allready destroyed lightning effect. Didn't suspect that would matter that much.
Il take this as a lesson for future programming.
