Crash when biters are killed not by player #93

Closed AndyScull closed 3 months ago

AndyScull commented 5 months ago

I was checking if maybe if would be possible to add Armored/Frost/Explosive/Toxic biters to the mod. Frost biters leave a damaging cold cloud after their death, which can kill vanilla biters if they run through it. If the biter dies in this way, crash with error, I suspect the mod tries to add kill count to non-existing force.

The mod Alien Loot Economy (1.4.5) caused a non-recoverable error.
Please report this error to the mod author.

can you try with 1.4.7?

Did you commit it? The repository shows 1.4.6 as current. So far, I managed to disable this with killcount check, not very foolproof but it allows me to test other things with these biter mods

if (event.entity.type == "unit" and event.entity.force.name == "enemy" and global.killcount[forceName] ~= nil) then
