.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Posted: **Wed Oct 25, 2006 9:30 am**

Today I bring you a bug

, in itself that may not be very exhilarating but mind you this gotta be one of the fanciest bugs ever

Note: It only happens when you have developer on (developer 1).

All you have to do is make a .scr file in the global folder, name doesn't even matter, and put in it:

Code: Select all

uhm:
	println "scary eh"
	self.health--
end

Then start a game of mohaa... nothing will happen at first, but it gets interesting when you restart or start a new map

Note: you're gonna need task manager to kill off the mohaa process lol

Lol! Interesting, seems like they overlooked a potential pointer crash.

basically the scripting doesn't take into consideration that there may NOT BE a "self". Which is interesting, because any other variable (when undefined) yields a simple text error and continues on it's merry way.

I guess self is just passed when the thread is called, there's no self and it's not a required argument...

interesting.

Yah but it's a lot stranger than that

If you remove the println line, it won't crash.
If you replace self.health-- with self.health = self.health-1, it won't crash.
