World Crashes if GetSpawn() fails to find NPC
Posted: Sat Aug 27, 2011 5:02 pm
Scat,
Just (accidentally) found a crash bug we should fix. In Beggars Court, there is a ZoneScript w/Proximity for the "muffled_voices" if you recall. Well since that spawn was never captured by Collector, we had to manually create it in Tess to finish that quest.
Now, due to the repop of all our zones, "Muffled Voices" is again missing, but the proximity check was still there. In ZoneScripts/BeggarsCouter.lua:
What happened was when I ran OUT of range, the world blew up.
Seems to be eating it here:
While I fixed it by simply adding the 1370123 spawn, anything that is a CRASH, I'd like to prevent.
Any ideas?
(btw, there is no "leaving" range event in the script)
