Post subject:  what crashes your game?

when you're modding CC, what generally causes the most crashes? misspells? accidental caps? or anything else?

+ do negative numbers usually crash? or numbers that are too high?

It's usually copies that get me.
Sometimes it's a misspelling of the instancename, sometimes I make it expect a different class/type of object, sometimes both.


Negative numbers sometimes crash, it depends on the variable. But a surprising number of things can work as negative. Negative material properties are particularly notable.

Ridiculously high numbers sometimes make the mod not load, and sometimes have some strange effects in-game. For example, if your starting funds are ridiculously high, sometimes you aren't even charged for orders, and you can't buy more expensive objects in BYOB.

Only problem I have that frequently is declaring a particle type that doesn't match what I'm trying to make.

Like, I'll hastily change the InstanceName on an emission, but not change the particle type.

Grenades crash my CC a lot. ._.

Usually just tiny errors, like a misspelt file path or a forgotten name change...
Or a number too much, in a few cases.
Pretty much the same as Grif though.

I keep misspelling the file names when I'm saving em and then spell them correctly when i'm trying to code them, it really messes me up when I just added like a space or something after a "001", cause I have to go through the whole sequence and check them all.

Deploying a troop who is holding a grenade when he comes out crashes mine a lot.

I do that too many times. :|

Occasionally I leave an old instancename lying around, but what usually crashes my game is ginormous explosions.
ie, a SCRAP hits a dropship it just shot 4 rockets at and everything explodes at once.
its most annoying.
