Oregon Shutdown

[+Tequila]

A friend did one of my Wherigo's today and his OR just died part way through. This is a cartridge that lots of people have used without any problem. In fact, he was able to start over and it ran fine.

 

Here is the last five lines of the log before it died.

Any ideas????

Just noticed that he stepped out of the zone and then back into proxmimity of the zone. Not sure why that would cause a shut down.

 

The zones are fairly small in this cartridge. It was my first attempt and I was afraid to make many changes after I got a working version.

The error is on this line:

"MessageBox:Callback - [button1] No script to execute"

 

Did you have a button or something on the message box?

[+Tequila]

Yes. The Character has a "Talk to Tequila" button.

 

However, that message "No script to execute" shows up several times in the log.

 

When the player enters a zone, I move the character to that zone and make the character visible.

 

In this case, the GPS moved out of the zone because I created very small zones. This would cause the zone to become invisible but still active.

 

Here is the entire log.

This Wherigo cache will take you for a walk around a Markham Park where you will collect information. At each zone you will be asked a question about a landmark at that location. When you input the correct answer, you will be given your next set of instructions. At the end, you will be guided to the actual cache location where you can sign the log book and complete the cartridge by providing a special code contained inside the cache.

Here is a zip that contains the source and the log if anyone cares to look at it.

 

This was my first cartridge and I have learned lessons since. I would not code it the same way. And I know to make the zones bigger.

 

Just curious as to what sequence of events led to this crash.

Walk_In_The_Park.zip

[+cantuland]

Did you find a solution to this one?

 

Just a guess, what if you renamed the ZoneNumber variable to something else that didn't start with the word Zone? Is the program looking for a zone called Number and not finding it? Can the variable ZoneNumber be confused with a zone called zoneNumber? Maybe the capital Z makes it different enough and the problem is something else. That's my first guess.

I did find the problem.

 

The zone is not very large and the GPS signal that day was a bit flaky. The player entered the zone, but by the time they went to answer the question, the GPS had "moved" out of the zone. Even though they had not moved.
