Hey Emiel I've had the exact same problem as you did once. I've traced the problem down to the creation and deletion of entities (and thus the modification of their vphysics?) while during hit-detection code. To solve this I've setup flags for "delete me" or "create me" for entities that had this problem and had them tested on think, pre-think, or post-think.
I'm not 100% sure this is the right fix (probably not), but it certainly stopped the crashes from happening. ~M Message: 3 Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2008 17:58:27 +0100 From: "Emiel Regis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [hlcoders] Crash in VPhysics on suicide To: "Discussion of Half-Life Programming" <hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; delsp=yes; charset=iso-8859-2 Hey, I am getting a crash randomly when a player sucides, I tracked this down to creation of ragdoll - however sometimes it crashes and sometimes it doesnt.
