Re: mobcdmoc3's FRED Questions
Ummmm. Why do you think that particular SEXP is at fault?

Also what do you mean by a crash? No error message at all? Even in debug?

Re: mobcdmoc3's FRED Questions
There are a couple chained-events, but I can't imagine why they'd be causing problems. I've attached a picture of the chained events.

By crash, I mean that the screen freezes, and it forces me to my desktop. No error messages, aside from the obligatory windows message indicating that FreeSpace has stopped working. Debug doesn't spit out any messages either.

Re: mobcdmoc3's FRED Questions
Yeah but I still don't get why you're blaming those SEXPs? Does the mission not crash if you remove them? Which particular part of the event is causing the crash?

Re: mobcdmoc3's FRED Questions
The mission doesn't crash if I stop them from ever happening. I'll try to dig into which one of them is causing the problem in a couple of hours.

 
Re: mobcdmoc3's FRED Questions
I had the SEXP in question send a message upon returning true, and had the events chained to it do the same. The game crashed before returning any of the messages.

I've since worked around it. While it'd be nice to know what's going on, it's fine if nobody knows.

Re: mobcdmoc3's FRED Questions
SEXPS should never crash the game. They should always bow out gracefully if there is something wrong. The only way I can find out what was causing the crash though is if I can play the mission (or if you can make a simple test mission with the same behaviour).
