What things can possibly causing GAME CRASH

[8uY_YoU]

Woah, there are too many things can causing Game Crash, That i know there is 2 kind of Game Crash, 1st with Error Message and 2nd with no Error Message (The Game Turned off instantly), my question is what things can cause the first crash? because the second that i know is because the infinite loop in the trigger itself.

a unit going outside of playable map area....

hm :/ theres more but i dont remember

The first can be done with Illidan casting Metamorphosis, and then casting Mirror Image. Oh, and Mirror Image on an instant-cast item will crash. This function will probably just close the game when called.

function CloseGame takes nothing returns nothing
    return CloseGame()
endfunction

I don't remember if that compiles correctly, but I think I remember it doing so.

I had been using this function to cause the game crash when I playing my map and being defeated vr soon.

function CrashGame takes nothing returns nothing
   local player p = Player(S2I(aaaaa))
endfunction

Hehe.

 

[Azlier]

No, you want your crash function to be as efficient as possible, of course!

function OMGITCRASHED takes nothing returns nothing
    call Player(-1)
endfunction

 

[Viikuna]

Yea, Player( invalid number here ) will crash.
Also, units outside of map bounds can cause crashes.
ExecuteFunction used on some non existing function probably crashes too.

LoL...

Its good for leaked map..!!

Anything else?

 

[SpaceBar]

I have not tested it, nor know how to go about it but;

• Events
  • Player - Player red types -goldfuck as substring
  • Conditions
  • (Something here)
  • Actions
  • Player - Add X amount of gold

However, i doubt that would work, but you can try lol

 

[Azlier]

...Why would that crash the map?

 

[SpaceBar]

I can't fully remember the whole trigger, it was more advanced than that, but because "-goldfuck" is not known as a no. it crashes, unless i'm confusing myself with another trigger that i can't remember crashes

Hm.. i don't know Warcraft has system like that

Anything Else?

Some loops can crash.

 

[SpaceBar]

Making "metophosis" an item and setting it to no mana and giving it to certain units causes crash. Others, turn into a hero-like. Try it on Peon, Acolyte, Peasant and Wisp. Giving them more hp and mana, but still remains unit-type. Pretty cool actually. Base the item off "invul pot" and cooldown group "metophosis" and finally, change the invul to metophosis

 

[komapatient]

There has been a "fun map" around Northrend (europe server) which will instantly hang up the game resulting into a black screen.

It had one basic trigger... to add 10000 castles each 1 second of game time for each player.

It will not actually crash the game to windows, but it will force the user to alt tab and shut down Warcraft 3 completely!

Hey guys,i've found 2 again
> For Loop Integer A collided
> Spellbook
But i have no idea, why that 2 things making games fucked off?

 

[Romek]

Typecasting something to an invalid type would also crash.

function H2Item takes handle h returns item
   return h
endfunction

// ...
call RemoveItem(H2Item(WEAPON_TYPE_WHOKNOWS))
// ...

I also believe some event responses crash when they shouldn't be used.
For example, GetExpiredTimer() is one I remember off the top of my head.

There's always dividing with 0... if I remember it correctly, the game isn't very fond of that

Try it with a loop for example ^^

1) Also this type of trigger can cause crash:

• Trigger1
  • Events
    • A unit starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • Ability being cast Equal to X
  • Actions
    • Set Unit1 = (Casting unit)
    • Set Unit2 = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Trigger - Add to Trigger2 <gen> the event (Unit2 takes damage)

• Trigger2
  • Events
  • Conditions
    • (Damage source) Equal to Unit1
  • Actions
    • Unit - Cause Unit1 to damage Unit1 dealing X damage of type X and damage type X

2) Also, make a unit have an inventory, a NON-Hero unit. Then, have an item Tome of Experience and order it to pick it up. Game crashes and i can find no solution to this
You can't even disable the order if it comes to that specific item.

I had found Warcraft will crash when using 2D parabola function. ^^

function GetParabolaY takes real X, real int1, real int2,real int3 returns real
return (int1*X*X)+(int2*X)+3

Parabola in Maths : ax2+bx+c

It will instant crash when it start calculating this Big Number.

 

[kingkingyyk3]

Use this will cause the triggers stuck at this function.

function H2I takes handle h returns integer
    return h
    return 0
endfunction

Use TextTag as argument. Then u will see.
