Fatal Error problems.

[SkyXyden]

Theres someone wrong with my map. Whenever I fight this particular boss, mostly likely during the time the boss casted a trigger-based spell. It will cause a fatal error. It was fine before I added additional creep spawn to aid the boss. I also realise the fatal error happen near the area where the boss's creep spawn region but that my observation.



The error code might tell us something or two I don't know, I'm not pro in this field >.>

So.. can anyone help out? People keep getting this bug when I host the game.

Can you post the triggers for the boss's spells and the creep spawn trigger?

Supposed bugged skill, the boss will disappear and creates 5 copies of him around the real one(hidden), after 3 seconds it will cast a powerful froze attack in the circle.

Your triggers leak a lot.
You should clean that up!
-Search for a memory leak tutorial here, and you'll find what you need.

Hmm... Okay so I tried cleaning 1 spawn trigger up.

        Unit - Create 3 Berdark for Player 8 (Pink) at Temp_Point facing Default building facing degrees
        Set Temp_Group = (Last created unit group)
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in Temp_Group and do (Unit - Change color of (Picked unit) to Black)
        Unit Group - Order Temp_Group to Attack-Move To (Center of Left Lane 2 <gen>)
        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup (udg_Temp_Group)
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)

Hows it? Is there any leaks?

Unit Group - Order Temp_Group to Attack-Move To (Center of Left Lane 2 <gen>)

->

Set Temp_Point2 = (Center of Left Lane 2 <gen>)
Unit Group - Order Temp_Group to Attack-Move To Temp_Point2
Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Point2)

Edit: Oh, btw. Just realized that you shouldn't destroy any group set to Last created unit group (it's kinda like with All players).

> You should 'set Temp_Group' to a value, not (Last created unit group).
What's wrong with setting it to Last created group? Last created group is the only way to refer to the 3 created Berdarks. And you save one function call that way. \,,/

Leaks and error colored in red.
You should 'set Temp_Group' to a value, not (Last created unit group).
For example:

Set Temp_Group = (All units in (Playable Map))

Hey thanks for the info about the leaks, but does this really helps my fatal error problem?

 

[Exide]

It might.
Usually leaks only lag the game, but they might cause server splits as well.
Usually faulty JASS codes are the cause of crashes..
