You know it's badwhen Sal's got a problem

[Salmo]

Now that catchy title's got you attention, I have a script problem. M script is throwing a "null exception" error. The script still runs OK but I'd like to track this one down for & capture & eliminate it for tidiness sake. I'm having locating the exact issue though. Here's my server log file, any assistance woud be appreciated ...

Server: Time Remaining In Mission: 04:00:00
Server: Pilot of a Bf 110 C-7 () (AI) was killed.
Server: Gunner of a Bf 110 C-7 () (AI) was killed.
Server: AI in a Bf 110 C-7 () collided with terrain.

Good luck with that. For the rest of us, we're all going to be running around screaming "the skies falling down" now you've been revealed to be fallible.


Looking at it (how do you get the server log by the way?) I presume that it's something stemming from either tickgame or actor died? Is there some sort of dictionary holding aircraft names/players etc in play here? I have a similar error thrown from my onplayerenter code, but only when I test the mission from FMB.

[9./JG52 Hans Gruber]

I have noticed these errors too occasionally when new AI spawn. It does not seem to effect the mission.

[Nephilim]

Looks like OnActorDead, or OnAircraftKilled issue as its called straight after Actors dead....

What parameter is causing null??? Very often I caught my self with having (AiActor actor) as null...

Can I see full script and what is going on starlight after exception is being re thrown....

Maybe I couuld help then....

[SoW Reddog]

Did you ever find the issue? I came across a bunch of these exact same errors in the log of my new mission. They seemed to only occur when a 110 died. Interesting that I see that the same was the case for your sample. Wonder if there could be something in the 110 plane code specifically which is throwing the errors.

[Pitti]

I've also notied these Exception quite a lot recently. First I tought it is a problem in the mission script but also without any script the exceptions are thrown when a multi engine aircraft crashes. So these are coming directly from the game and not a script.

[9./JG52 Hans Gruber]

I also found another cause for these errors relating to a player trying to switch sides. Just last night I was doing some testing and could see the error being thrown in real time as I tried to switch teams.

[DD_FT]

Yeah, I know this is an old thread.

Just wanted to add that I see this happen as well whenever a MultiCrew aircraft uses the bail out option.
Well, haven't tested them all, but it happens for the 110, the Blenheim and the Stuka.
Not on single crew a/c, like Spitfire, Hurricane.

The annoying thing of this is that it's not just one error message, but a whole string of 'm, and it causes stutters in online play.
(I assume it's because the sudden lot of exception messages are being sent to all clients?)

Anybody know of a way to suppress the errors being sent to all clients? Well, that is - if my assumption is correct
