Recently I've been trying to get to the bottom of the freezing bug in Planet Wars.

I'm suspecting it's something to do with the movesafely object, as it seems to happen the most with the shotgun, which uses 5x movesafely objects to simulate the shotgun spray.

Removing a courrupt active object seems to of helped somewhat (thanks Francois). Before, when it froze, xcode didn't throw up any error messages and it tended to do this a few minutes into the action-heavy level I am using to test.

Now it lasts a bit longer. It still freezes, but xcode is displaying an error this time:

Fixable?

Question : do you think you destroy the object used by movedsafely somewhere in your game?

No, it doesn't get destroyed, but I think I've solved this problem (and the freezing in planet wars).

I hadn't used the movesafely object before this project, and I didn't take note of the 'release all objects' event. It might of been something to do with me adding the bullets to the movesafely each time they were created (I assumed you had to do this for each instance of the object)... Leading the 'protected objects' to pile up throughout the length of a game, and perhaps overloading something eventually and casuing the freeze.

Either way, a simple event 'releasing all objects' when there are no bullets seems to have fixed my problem
