ReturnFloat() crashes

I'm trying to use ReturnFloat() but for some reason, it crashes. Are there any specific reasons it would crash? Probably something common that I don't know about.

If you want some of the code I got plenty here. I get no warnings or errors on compile.

You need to set the flag first. I'm using this:

// Set the "Float" flag
rdPtr->rHo.hoFlags |= HOF_FLOAT;

// Return the float
float fResult = 0.2123;

return *((long*)&fResult);

rSDK ReturnFloat() sets the float flag.

Yes, I am using the rSDK, sorry I forgot to mention that.

I'm using the rSDK as well.

So you mean I should avoid ReturnFloat() and instead do it the way you posted?

Mokhtar, I did it the way you suggested, but it did not make any difference. It still crashes, same way, same spot.

I made a test expression that was just a ReturnFloat(0.123456789); and it did not crash; it worked fine. (It returned 0.123457)

So why else would it crash?

Maybe it's not the return that's causing this. Perhaps you're accessing an array index out of bounds?

I think it must be corruption. I put debug messages and it doesn't crash until the ReturnFloat() line, so I must be giving it some bad data. I haven't changed the code much since the pastebin I linked above..

Is this the PC of yours with the bad ram? Because bad ram can cause some really fun errors...
