TGEA 1.0.3 and Constructor 1.0.4 crashes off and on - why?
by Andy Hawkins · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 04/16/2008 (11:55 pm) · 5 replies
I load up TGEA 1.0.3 with DIF exported from Constructor 1.0.4 and they work one time, then I load TGEA 1.0.3 again and it crashes
-With no DIF's in the scene it nevers crashes
-When I do a debug from Visual Studio it never crashes.
-When I fly past DIF's the screen judders.
-When enemies fly past them, the screen judders.
Looks like I might have to drop back to TGE again while all these bugs are sorted out.
EDIT: Took out crazed rants that had nothing to do with the issue

I'm assuming my TorqueScript is calling this with invalid numbers.
Anyway any idea how I can track this in further?

Seems to boil down to this function...ConsoleFunction(getRandom, F32, 1, 3, "(int a=1, int b=0)"
"Get a random number between a and b.")I'm assuming my TorqueScript is calling this with invalid numbers.

Should getRandom even assert on these values? Shouldn't it sanitise the values?

I did this to sanitise it for now... on to the next bug(in engine\math\mathrandom.h)
inline S32 MRandomGenerator::randI(S32 i, S32 n)
{
if (i>n)
{
Con::printf("MRandomGenerator error '%d','%d'. Check your inputs - aborting function", i,n);
return 0;
}
AssertFatal(i<=n, "MRandomGenerator::randi: inverted range.");
return (S32)(i + (randI() % (n - i + 1)) );
}
