Need help with Game.World.Update Crash

SamNainocard · 05-28-2015 05:33 PM

When I create multiple of same objects (Game.World.objCreate) at same time, sometimes game would crash and call stack pointed to this error, from my knowledge this will crash when create object at invalid position (FLT_MAX) but the problem is my position are valid from debug, so I don't know what cause this.

Anyone have a insight on this?

You are making sure you are not creating objects in areas that aren't fully loaded?
if you want to create objects you should use objCreateNear(if it exists anymore) or you should use WORLD_FULL or just simply prevent objects from being created outside of active areas.

Also got to ask are you creating them in a separate thread(this can cause issues unless you sync the thread in which case the creation performance is probably equal or worse or even just tiny bit faster than doing it on a single thread due to the create is not thread safe to my knowledge)

SamNainocard · 05-28-2015 06:26 PM

Hmm, I used WORLD_FULL and 200 active range, objects are create not far from player/camera too much (~20m), so it probalby in active range, and I also didn't use thread. (I didn't learn it yet smile

)

But I have yet to try Game.World.objCreateNear, will see if it crash.

Edit: Still crash.
By the way I created 3-5 of same objects at same time around that position and offset a bit so they're not spawn inside each others.

i use this:
if(Kb.bp(KB_K ))
{
Game.ObjParamsPtr op = Game.ObjParamsPtr(UID(4207078662, 1144901524, 262883225, 3227955895));
Game.World.objCreateNear(*op, Matrix(op->scale3(), (Plr.pos()+Vec(2, 2, 2))));
}

and so far it never crashed or did any issue to me

I do likewise and have never experienced any problems:

Code:

// Get a pointer to the NPC model 

Game::ObjParamsPtr obj=Game::Objs.ptrRequire(modelUID);

// Create the new NPC object and return a pointer to it (This also adds it to the npcObjs collection by virtue of its type).  

Game::Obj* myObj = Game::World.objCreateNear(*obj, Matrix(obj->scale(), Vec(position.x,position.y+0.1,position.z)));

myObj pointer is subsequently cast to my npc class for my own internal use.

Hello,

I think it would be best if you could attach a sample project with the issue reproduced, this way we could figure out the source of the problem much faster.

SamNainocard · 05-29-2015 05:15 AM

I'm using something like these code.

PHP Code:

UID enemy    =UID(xxxx);
Vec pos      =Game::World.findWaypoint(xxxx).points[0];
flt cos, sin,  offset=RandomF(PI2);
size             =Random(3, 5);
      REP(size)
      {
         SinCos(sin, cos, offset+i*(PI2/size));
         Vec p=pos+Vec(2*cos, 0, 2*sin);
         pos.y=Game::World.hmHeight(pos.xz())+0.15;
         if (Game::ObjParamsPtr tmp=Game.Objs.ptrRequire(enemy))
         {
             Game::ObjParams obj;
             obj.base(tmp);
             // add a few custom params, like starting HP
             Game::World.objCreate(obj,Matrix(obj.scale(), pos));
         }
      } 

The problem is, it isn't always happens, sometime it crash on first object, sometimes it never happens even after 1k+ objects.

I'll use Game::World.objCreateNear() for a while and will try to narrow it down.

The code itself looks ok I think.

SamNainocard · 07-25-2015 06:22 AM

I still can't pinpoint of what cause this, it's rarely happens now though, but here's call stack if someone could help me.

This crash on changing world, in very rare case though.

Code:

Something about physics perhaps?

When using background loader, you need to make sure you have the code at start of the functions:

Code:

bool Update()

{

   if(BL.update())return true; // this needs to be at the start of 'Update' function

..

void Draw()

{

   if(BL.draw())return; // this needs to be at the start of 'Draw' function

Please see tutorial "19 - Loading Screen"

SamNainocard · 07-26-2015 05:07 AM

Because I have network, so I update Connection and ClientServer before BL.update(), do I have to move it somewhere? I think MMO source also update before BL.update.

Code:

bool GameUpdate()

{

   if(ClientServer.is()) ClientServer.update(); // host

   ServerConnection.gameUpdate();

   if(BL.update()) return true;

....

}

void GameDraw()

{

   if(BL.draw())return;

....

}

Edit: Perhaps because I put BL.start() in middle of other function, will try to move to the end of function.
