Loading datablocks

by Jon Uhal · in Torque Game Engine · 10/04/2003 (1:58 pm) · 4 replies

I am trying to load a script through the console. When I run the exec command on the script, it says that it is loading, but immediately seg faults. There is no messages, so I have no clue what is not working.

This is not a complicated script, but the tutorial I am using doesn't give me anymore than this and I can't find an answer within the other scripts in the engine.

Here is some of the code and results I am getting:

% exec( "fps/server/scripts/datablocktest.cs" );
Compiling fps/server/scripts/datablocktest.cs...
Loading compiled script fps/server/scripts/datablocktest.cs.
% Segmentation fault

datablock PlayerData(NewPlayerData)
{
    //bla = 5;
    //runspeed = 10;
    splashAngle = 30.0;
};

%p = new Player(){
    dataBlock = NewPlayerData;
};

Have you tried looking the console.log to see if there are any errors?

Strange though, unless I'm missing a glaring problem in the script you posted above (cause it is early in the morning ;p) I dont see why it would seg fault =/

I've also got this error from my /var/log/messages file (IP address changed on purpose, it wasn't 127.0.0.1):

It seems to be starting the dedicated server correctly, and when I try to exec the command, it just stops. Of course, I'm running this on Linux and not Windows, but that shouldn't make a difference...

Here is the end of my console.log file:

There is something weird here...

I noticed that the end of the console file stopped like it did above. But my output shows differently. The end of the output I received at the command line was:

Sending heartbeat to master server [IP:216.116.32.49:28002]
% exec( "fps/server/scripts/testPlayer.cs" );
Compiling fps/server/scripts/testPlayer.cs...
Loading compiled script fps/server/scripts/testPlayer.cs.
% Segmentation fault

This is confusing me cause it looks like it is loading in the datablock properly, but it throws the seg fault after I have loaded the compiled script (with no errors). Is there anyplace to look at the core output error messages?
