Server crashs when spawning props outside of the world.

Details

Server crashs, when spawning props outside of the world.

Steps to reproduce

Spawn a prop like 100,000 units outside of the world.

[mcNuggets1]

This is still present, is there any news or a way to fix this?

[Kefta]

Why are you spawning a prop that far out of the world limits, anyway? And shouldn't crazy physics already bound this if you have the convar enabled?

[mcNuggets1]

Normal Gmod Spawn behaviour in sandbox can lead to that. Stacker however either and easier.

I clamped stacker, but I can't clamp the gm_spawn function to just spawn props in world.

Crazy physics does remove it within like 7,600 units aways from the map, but if it goes above that limit, it just crashs or completly fucks up the physics leading to a crash.

[Kefta]

You can, actually, if you wanted to override it to check, but I still don't get why you're spawning props out that far.

[mcNuggets1]

It is quite a heavy crashbug which is actually used to crash several servers and there is currently no real fix out there.

In 90% cases it is the fault for crashing my server, so actually it is quite a problem for me.

[robotboy655]

And why I can't even reproduce it? Post crash logs from said crashes?

[mcNuggets1]

Well wow lua_run e = ents.Create("prop_physics") e:SetModel("models/pigeon.mdl") e:SetPos(Vector(0,0,999999999999999999999)) e:Spawn() e:Activate()

[Kefta]

Yeah, crashed my game in single-player on main branch.

[mcNuggets1]

If this is going to get fixed, then I guess I'll have to visit my favorite servers one last time.

Yeah, I know that I am a scumbag, but that people deserved it, really.

[robotboy655]

That specific case should be fixed in Dev.

[mcNuggets1]

Still happens, but different.

lua_run local e = ents.Create("sent_ball") e:SetPos(Vector(0,0,99999999999999999999999999999999999999)) e:Spawn() e:Activate()

This lead to a very weird crash, after some time.

gm_construct. Use the same code and spam it like 25 times. The balls then fall from the sky in the size of 1.

Wait 1 minute. Leads to a crash.

Tested on sandbox without addons.

Game just closes or closes with a weird error message saying something with TPS or TVS.

[robotboy655]

nothing happens even with hundreds of them.

Hopefully this can help you.

[robotboy655]

It's a generic physics crash that cannot be analyzed or fixed.

[mcNuggets1]

So it is not really fixed, just fixed in specific scenarios. Maybe just remove the entity entirely, when spawned outside of the map? Why keeping Size 1 Balls floating around the ap crashing the game?

[robotboy655]

That's what crazy physics stuff is doing. The entities get removed.

[mcNuggets1]

Why do these entities then spawn and getting higher indexing numbers, when it says it got removed?

[robotboy655]

Because you fucking manually create them there??!!?!

[mcNuggets1]

When they get removed, why do they still exist, then? They should not be spawned outside of the map, should they?

[robotboy655]

They don't jesus christ

In your crash log only 1 entity was outside of the map, and it got removed. The other ones were never removed because they were never moved outside of the map due to safeguards in Entity.SetPos.

I am done here.

[mcNuggets1]

Still happens when resizing a prop with "Prop Resizer" tool and moving it outside of the world.

Tested on devbranch.

[robotboy655]

That's an entirely different crash inside vphysics, nothing can be done about that.

[mcNuggets1]

Sad story.

I actually wanted to use that tool someday.

Well, anyways thanks for the new shit next update. I appreciate your work.

[thegrb93]

Non-english speakers probably think you're calling the next update shit fyi.
