Ok by some freak accident in one of my levels...well you can see what happenned here:



Everything was going as planned. First 1 slug came out at a time for when i had 10+ crystals...and then 2 slugs when I had 20+ crystals...but then randomly HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of slugs started coming out and attacking my base...it was like a horror movie...the rock raiders did their best...but no crystals survived the attack...

Wow. Like a horror movie indeed. Did the level at least have a recharge seam?

It has one far off Recharge Seam...there was no chance...

I've tested my map before, and it worked fine, I've just made some changes to the height map, and suddenly this starts happening. I'm going over the NPL file and I honestly can't see anything wrong with it. There must be a feedback loop of some sort happening...

Wow. This must be some huge bug in the code. What did you put as the emerge rate?

Emerge rate does not affect slugs. All of the slug stuff is in the NPL code. And Slimy Slug holes are put in the Dugg file, 03 for in open caverns, 04 for in hidden caverns.

I think it may have had to do with the fact that I had some repeating lines, I've fixed it up a bit, I'll try testing it and see how it goes.

Let us know if it works. Could you tell us what you had written before and after? That way we won't make the same mistake.

I fixed the problem, but I've kept a crazy version of the script for the Bonus version of the map in the tutorials section just for fun.

AI FAIL. :P

That's weird. So they just came out of their hole, moved around a bit then dug themselves in again?

yeah that's a common bug with a slug setup that is based on the rock raiders teleported count, rather than crystal count. It happens on Rock Hard a lot

Well, at least you don't end up losing a lot of ECs due to power being drained.

If only you could have recorded it in a video... the ULTIMATE Abbridged Series.

Cyrem, you should set up a Rock Raiders Role Play! here's a good role play example.
