If causing crash?

[corvusHaunt]

Alright. I am making a small system for a map I am working on. I started a new map and started writing in the custom script section. Then once I got done with the first long function, I decided to save, and World Edit crashed : (

It was about 20 if statement in a row.
I don't think the number of if's caused it, but could the fact that I didn't close them all up before I saved have caused it?

There is a limit on "numbers" though...

But, yes, the syntax checker in WE isn't the greatest exactly...

 

[corvusHaunt]

Okay, thanks.


>>There is a limit on "numbers" though...
How much?

 

[AceHart]

No idea.
I just hit it once, with some bad GUI trigger... a quick conversion to JASS fixed that.
But, they were all one inside the other... and GUI has no "elseif"...

Well, you really need to want it, because it gets real messy way before.

i've had several similar crashes associated with GroupAddUnit statements where i reversed the unit variable with the group variable. you might check to see if all your variable types were straight. because of this i have gotten into the habit of copying all my code to the clipboard each time i get to a save point. if it crashes i simply reopen it, paste my code back on and check for errors.

i suggest codding in JASS Craft, makes things much easier, quicker, and it dont crash if you write something wrong

If this is the thread execution time limit then I think it is something like 10k to 16k operations*, depending on how long time each one take ofc.

*Probably the wrong word.

No, that's quite litterally the limit on:

If
then
else
- if
- then
- else
- - if
- - then
- - - else
...

One shouldn't simply code like that

aha only u Ace

It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it.

I usually go to bed when I find that I have to do a code like that, and when I wake up I've totally forgot about it.
That's probably one of the reasons why I never finished a map.
