Internal Errors

[eva-251]

I've been working on a jumpjet unit that behaves similarly to a dog. So far, I have been getting nothing but IEs, and very random ones at that.

I have 4 Except.txts for the 4 IE encounters I have had. I have attached the most recent one, and below is the code for this unit.

Unless it necessary, I wont be posting the other Excepts, but here is a summary of what changes at each stage-

First EIP: 404E0000
Error occurred when I had them over a hoard of infantry. They were swooping down, killing them one by one. The inf were retaliating when they were at ground level, killing a few of the lungers. This is when the IE happpened.

Second EIP: 840F8C50
Error occurred when one was killed. I changed Crashable= to Yes and added a Tumble = statement to the sequence.

Third EIP: 0051C2D3
Error occurred yet again when one was killed. I added a proper AirDeathStart, etc to the sequence. I kept Crashable= at Yes.

Fourth EIP: See except.txt
Error occurred when the unit was killed, but only after it did a lunging. I killed three fresh out of the barracks with no error. I then built another and ordered it to kill something, which it did with no problem. When I ordered that one to be attacked, it IE'd immediately (the weapon was a insta-hit type).

Prior to this, I fixed some problems with the SHP itself, corrected the sequence accordingly and changed Crashable= to No

Last notes-
None of the weapons I used to kill the Lunger were powerful enough to kill it in 1 hit.
And the SHP doesn't contain much besides the thing floating. Its not a human.

All those excepts boil down to the game using an already freed pointer which leads to shishkabob being executed. I don't know where exactly it goes haywire, it is possible that only walk locomotor supports parasites properly. I can't really promise a fix for this.

Hmm, alright. Thanks for helping.
