Runtime error

[volum]

Hi,

Got this problem during battlewaves game, it only happened once, but what it might be?
this msg came to chat:
runtime error: [modes/shootmania/battle.script.txt : 214, 60] called from: 96, 42] invalid access to parameter (null object or elem not found in array) : pendingevents[0].victim>.curretnclan
Restarting match...

im not sure if it happened after team captured last pole, but match was stopped and map restarted
Any help?

Hi,

it seems that the script the server is running on has a mistyped currentclan.

If its your own server it can be easily fixed:

change curretnclan with CurrentClan

Sorry it was my typo In origina error msg it was written 'current',
Could there be other solutions? When does this type error can happen, is it when showing results or specific amount of wins?

[steeffeen]

if it would be the wrong written attribute the server wouldn't even start up

".Victim>" shows that this attribute is Null, that's why you can't access its attribute .CurrentClan
there is obviously a logical error in the script, are you able to post it?

You mean whole script or parts?

This is in line 214:
} else if (UseClans && Event.Shooter.CurrentClan == Event.Victim.CurrentClan) {

Script should be original and i havent changed it. Error came only one time and hasnt appeared in 30+ plays after

Use Code tags around your code, makes it much more readable.

thanks for posting the code!

but... actually... i'm... clueless...
i don't know how this could happen!

line 212 checks if the shooter attribute of the Event is null

Code: Select all

if (Event.Shooter == Null || Event.Victim == Null || Event.Shooter == Event.Victim) {

and if this is not the case the game goes into line 214 and accesses the shooter object

Code: Select all

} else if (UseClans && Event.Shooter.CurrentClan == Event.Victim.CurrentClan) {

that's why i have no idea why the game crashed in line 214 because the shooter object was null... it shouldn't try to access it after the check in line 212
anyone got an idea?

i also wonder why it says

called from: 96, 42

as the line 96 has nothing to do with the event (in none of battlewaves, battle and modebase scripts)
does somebody know which line is meant by "96, 42"?
