This set-up has a roach walking on to a pressure plate. The plate will activate the fire trap with the powder keg, causing an explosion that kills the roach and hits the orb. This crashes the game if the orb is BOTH cracked AND toggles the same fire trap that triggered the explosion.



Using this set-up, the game will NOT crash if the orb is not cracked, or if the cracked orb toggles another fire trap while ignoring the trap that caused the explosion.

Attached is a quick one-room hold that shows the four cases of cracked/uncracked orb toggling each of the two fire traps. On my computer the game only crashes in the 4th case (cracked orb toggles the fire trap that contained the powder keg.)

I am running windows 7, running The Second Sky version 5.0.1.6060

Attached is the error data immediately after the crash when running through the above hold.

It gets a bit stranger. In the editor, wait several hundred turns before stepping on the case 4 pressure plate. It doesn't crash, but then undo a few turns and it crashes.

I can confirm with great despair and sadness that this issue is not correctly fixed in 5.1.0.1007 but instead manifests itself differently.

In 5.0.1.6060 the hold in the OP forces the game to close in Case 4. In 5.1.0.1007 both Case 2 and 4 cause the game to freeze up! Nothing is written to the error log in 5.1.0.1007.

Bump because it must be done for 5.1

Mike, I will be fixing this bug today. Along with the other two that will be all I feel we need to fix for 5.1 .

Yay! Thank you. It looks like this week could very well be the week that 5.1 goes live!

I have tested this in the latest dev build of the game, both debug and release and it works fine, so it must've been fixed in the meantime .

Confirmed, the scenario above does not crash the game in 5.1.0.6462.

The only thing to note is that the multi-use pressure plate is still considered "held down" after the keg blows up the roach until you move again (and won't activate if something steps on it immediately afterwards). I'm not sure if this qualifies as a bug or if it's just a weird quirk of pressure plate rules, either way I'm just noting that's what happens.

I'll investigate and give you an answer

This is intended behavior, because the plate-depressing stage happens before firetraps' stage.
