Crash issue related to PocoHud

[Malidictus]

I know this isn't BLT-specific, but I'm listing it for completeness' sake. Crashed out of nowhere. Got the following crash report:

---

Application has crashed: C++ exception

What's in there is a simple function that I'm not really clear on the... Function of:

function TPocoHud3:AddDmgPopByUnit(sender,unit,offset,damage,death,head,dmgType)
if unit and alive(unit) then
local isPlayer = unit:base().upgrade_value
if not isPlayer then -- this filters PlayerDrama related events out when hosting a game
self:AddDmgPop(sender,self:_pos(unit),unit,offset,damage,death,head,dmgType)
end
end
end

Yea, I'm guessing this is to do with the crimefest lua changes. PocoHUD will have to be updated.

I suck at text formatting on GitHub... Yeah, this is a Poco issue, and I've already posted it to PocoMods, as well. I'm just hoping it's something I can disable temporarily. Thank you for the reply :)

That's interesting because I'm running PocoHud without an issue on the newest version. Could there be a setting that's causing it?

We sort of tracked the issue down to the Aftershock truck, which I believe is what caused my own crash - another player attempted to drive it and crashed me out. Someone else reported seeing this with the Meltdown forklifts. Seems to be vehicle-related. My blind guess is Poco is attempting to parse vehicles as players and crashing when they don't have the necessary functions or some such. Poco's maker suggested a few temp fixes for the moment, specifically replacing:

local isPlayer = unit:base().upgrade_value

with:

local unitTweak = unit and alive(unit) and unit:base()._tweak_table

but others are reporting crashes in other places with this fix. I've not run vehicle-centric maps since then - I didn't think of it.

This is a PocoHud issue, not a BLT issue. Report it on the PocoHud GitHub instead.
