Post I've been wondering if these two things are related
I recently turned off GetsHitByMOs for the default brain, which in turn also turned it off for any mod including a brain that was a copy of it. After doing this, I've noticed that in the middle of me playing, my brain will just die. No gibs, no explosions. It just dies. I then fail the game obviously. Does turning off GetsHitByMOs cause bugs with the brain possibly?

Have you bought the game?

Yes, actually. 3 times. I've already activated the key.

If you're using the default brain, I'm not entirely sure what would cause it. However, one thing I can tell you is that when GetsHitByMOs is turned off, a brain no longer has an MOID. In Lua code, this means that certain functions think the brain doesn't exist. Maybe a mod is doing this to your brain because it thinks it's out of life?

Actually, TLB, it's helpful that you responded. I've been using your slow-motion brain. Do you think that's what's been causing it? I don't have any knowledge of lua so it would be hard for me to check.

In the brains-ini or whatever make a copy of regular brain, call it unhittable brain and set getshitbymos=0 on it, simple fix.

I can't think of anything in the slow motion brains that would cause that. It's also possible you're using too many actors, as that can cause similar problems to what you're describing.

Well, I usually only have about 1 actor on my team, but considering I'm not constantly killing the other team, they could get to a pretty high amount of people.

Edit: Was just playing a game. The brain dying happened when I was in slow motion for an extended period of time.

That could very well be a problem with the way slow motion is done (through the DeltaTime variable). Unfortunately, there's not much I can do about that.

Well, it's completely fine. I turned it back to getting hit, and now everything is fine. If you could lock this, it would be great.

TLB, you might want to put a little heads up in your mod letting people know that this will happen.

So there should be a large text disclaimer saying that IN THE EVENT THAT YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE MODIFIED YOUR BRAIN TO BE UNHITTABLE AND ALSO LIKE TO USE SLOW MOTION AN AWFUL LOT ON A PROBABLY NOT ALL THAT GREAT COMPUTER (BUT A COMPUTER STILL GOOD ENOUGH TO RELIABLY RUN CC) YOUR BRAIN MAY EXPLODE IRRATIONALLY

what do you work for, a US government safety board?

Uhh I'm not really good with computers but that sound reasonable to me. TLB's trademark crashes are really inconvenient and a heads-up letting me know that his mods are probably the cause would be nice. In fact I do believe TLB does warn people about crashes, so, you know...

Actually I don't know how the layman would be able to figure out the two are related at all, which is relevant as making unhittable brains is a fairly common personal mod.

Since this is the only guy who's experienced it, I'm pretty sure it was something involving a conflict with another mod, actually. That, or something computer-specific, which has also happened in the past. If other people say it's a problem, I'll put up a warning, but at this point it seems like it'll just confuse people.

It would probably be best to stick at the top of the forum this warning:
Random events involving exploding bodies, brains, and weapons may occur during normal gameplay without mods. The frequency and likelihood of such will increase if you add any mod, especially mods that involve copious amounts of Lua and/or TheLastBanana Awesome Extract.
