Crashing when throwing barrels

[dademargot]

Hi guys,

I am not sure what the vm execution error means but it was working fine till a couple of weeks ago. All I did was change few video settings and voilà now I can't throw barrels anymore or picking up the power ups that transform you into a baron of hell or a revenant without crashing the game every single time. I am running project brutality 3.0 with gzdoom 3.7.2.

Any help?

Please post your code. It's a scripting error that wasn't detected in older versions but to point you to a fix we need to see what you did.

I am sorry I don't know how to do that .. can you tell me how to post my code?

Know error for PB.
Barrel was made as usable actors, and some specific monsters, which after pressing use o it give to player weapon "barrel/zombieman/etc.man thrower", which, obviously, throw barrel/etc.man after being used for attack.
After throwing weapons take itself from the player inventory, and then in next state try to a_lower() self, which lead to gzdoom BSOD.
Note that this is become crash after PB step on the zscript rails. In decorate it was ok, AFAIK.

strange thing is that I could throw barrels no problem (toxic or fire) until a couple of weeks ago, also demonic morph rune were working, now it crashes every single time

"Used" picked barrel and barrel picked by punching it by bare hands is two different weapons.

During berserk I pick up a barrel, hold in my hand, throw it in the air at distant enemies, upon impact the game crashes, not sure if that's what you meant but this is what I am experiencing right now

Try this one, choose fists, give to self berserk, summon explosive barrel and punch it with fist. You pick it.
Press fire key and doom guy throw barrel without any crash.

Whit fists it works, it's "use" that triggers the crash
