Guest | Okay.. so I have making a hero that can shape shift into a wolf, lizard, and phoenix. The wolf and lizard work fine as far as the changing goes, but after you run around with them for a little while my program shuts down and I get a fatal error that says is can't read some referenced memory. I've tried rebooting and making sure there are no other apps running that would cause a conflict. When I use the default spell for the DH no error occurs. As for the phoenix, whenever I morph I instantly turn into an egg and then I get the same fatal error as with the wolf and lizard… The error never occurs at the same time, so I can't figure out what could be causing it. Here is what I am doing… I make a new custom unit Make custom spell based off of the metamoph Give it three levels Change the unit it morphs into from demon to “new custom unit� Edit the strings and levels and mana and duration and all that. As for the phoenix I do the same except I take away the natural abilities that make it die and rebirth. |

Have you looked in you error subfolder of warcraft III ? when wc3 crashes, it usually leaves a text file there with details. Also i don't really see what you did wrong. This said, i've always been told that there were problems with the metamorph spells. As i haven't tried them yet, i can't really help you furthermore. This said, i think i heard that other meta spells like crow form now do work properly when changed (no more issue with flying morphed unit, for example). Maybe it would be a good idea to try to base your spell on another one (though i understand its not the smarter way of solving a problem, at least it could let you continue developping). Also when exactly does it make a fatal error ? Is it randomly or precisely at a certain time after the morphing ? Regards |

Guest | The error always says something about referenced memory and not being able to access it. It happens randomly with the wolf and lizard, but right away (like a few seconds) with the pheonix I'll try the crow form spell, thanks for the reply |

Well, that "Warcraft III can not read..." error happens when you edited stuff that Warcraft III doesn't like. You get similiar errors if you make custom text triggers that have no syntax errors, but don't work in the game. |

I just had the same issue. The reason for it was that i changed the race of the spell accidently to neutral passive (commoner). Have you changed the race of your spell ? If not it could just be an incompatible field. Also have you tried your spell in a blank map ? I noticed that crashes can be due to many reasons, like removing the pathing map (completely) of some buildings. Tell me if you found out. Regards |

Guest | What do you mean removing the pathing map? |

Its one of the fields in TFT unit editor. Its dedicated to buildings. Advice : don't remove them completely. Regards |

Guest | What does the pathing do though....? I am not sure if I have removed it or not... Some of my buildings make custom units |
