BTW, to force a break in your code just call interupt 3:

__asm
{
int 3h
}

MSVC has an easy way to do this...
DebugBreak();

[sPlOrYgOn]

yea already did that but break points don't seem to help...
so commenting code out for now..

guys, you are doing to much work on this bug. Just comment out parts of code (PARTS, not 1 line). Make sure you just revert back changes, even when they do not seem to have anything to do with it! THen slowly test it. I KNOW it is a pain in the ass to wait to get it compiled and a new server started up but its the only way to do it right.

if BotDoWaypointNav()'s code is commented out and always returns false...
this error stops

Get on AIM so i can chat with you there i am always on there

Well i know that the NUM_FOR_EDICT Error: Bad Pointer error isn't just caused by heave fire. I placed 11 bots and myself on a LAN server and it still crashed with the same error with Peace Mode on (which means they ignore enemies)
