Release/cleanup vehicle - error

[AggrorJorn]

I am trying to figure out why my game is crashing so often everytime I try to reset my car. I think I have found something but it also leaves with the question whether I am disposing my vehicle correctly.

 

The test script attached is only a slight modification from the Leadwerks vehicle API.

1. Create a new map with terrain
   
2. Create a camera
   
3. Creae a pivot
   
4. Attach script to pivot:crashtest.lua
   
5. Press R, Vehicle is reset correctly
   
6. Press R again, the game crashes with the output seen in the screenshot:

Crashes trying to release self.chassis. I put in self.chassis:Hide() as a test and it appeared to function okay.

That is what I use in the game that is currently in the game launcher. However that might be the reason the car becomes so glitchy when trying to load a new car level. That said the error above does seem like a bug. If not than there should be documentation on how to properly dispose of a vehicle/chassis.

 

Setting vehicle to nil first and then releasing the chassis wont work.

No bug in Linux, so this is Windows only. But game stops at second R hit.
