easy to repeat, just try to change anything on the forcefield, or remove it, it crash the game

if field.health ~= nil then
	if forcefieldTypes[field.name]["maxHealth"] ~= nil then
		if field.health >= forcefieldTypes[field.name]["maxHealth"] then
			  table.remove(emitterTable["generating-fields"], k)
		end
	end
end

deathEntity = "forcefield-death-damage"

Shegar wrote:Just fix it by youself, in "control.lua" (s.862) just wrap that compare in two checks:

Code: Select all

if field.health ~= nil then
	if forcefieldTypes[field.name]["maxHealth"] ~= nil then
		if field.health >= forcefieldTypes[field.name]["maxHealth"] then
			  table.remove(emitterTable["generating-fields"], k)
		end
	end
end

Shegar wrote: There is another bug - purple field will throw an exception when destroyed, but it can be fixed by removing

Code: Select all

deathEntity = "forcefield-death-damage"

in beginning of the same file. That removes main feature of purple fields, but prevent further exceptions.

Here is a quick fix version.

Force Fields_1.0.4 crashfix

Same, I'm also noticing that the original post has not been updated since 2014, has the file in the download link been updated?
