1.3.11 BETA Bug - Crashes when heath reaches 0

[Big-Boss]

I encountered a rather odd bug when my health reaches 0. I was doing some tests on my project and any time the player's health reaches 0 (whether it be from a sector that causes damage or an enemy) the game crashes. I then tried it using just the standard DooM2 WAD to make sure it just wasn't my horrible modding skills etc. Again it crashed the second my health hit 0.

Here is the bug report:

I can see where it crashes but this can only happen when your player class is badly defined. Can you at least post the DECORATE for your player class if you use one?

I tried it with just plain ZDooM and the problem doesn't occur.

The crash was in GZDoom specific code. But the only way it could happen is that the player disappeared into nothing. That's why I wanted to see the definition.

I added a check for this condition but I hoped your player class would explain why it happened. But it does not.

[Big-Boss]

I see. I am not having a go at you but it seems like perhaps you did something in DECORATE in relation to inheritance. Perhaps my new player class is having issues with inheriting values from the PlayerPawn class. I seriously doubt that even makes any sense, but it is just a rough guess based on what little I know of the engine.

[Graf Zahl]

No, it's not your player class. What I was expecting was a death state that makes it disappear.

If you want me to check the problem for real you can PM me the WAD that causes the crash.

[Big-Boss]

The WAD is of despicably shameful quality but yeah I'll PM it to you when I return home this evening. Which will be late night for you, so you'll get it tomorrow .
