isKinematic = false makes unity executable crash

So here’s the thing. I’m making a destructible house that when you click on parts of it, chunks get removed and fly around. It works perfectly in the editor, it flys around and looks a bit like Age of Empire 3 (which is GOOD).

Problem is, every piece is set to isKinematic = true at startup and I give the isKinematic = false with a script to unlodge them and make them fly around. Like I said, in the editor it works, but the second I do that in an executable BAM it crashes and gives me this pretty little log :

== [end of error.log] ==

So, I have Unity free and no plugins whatsoever, just pure javascript and 3ds max models with textures and a terrain. When I remove that kinematic line from my code it works in the executable but well, the chunks don’t get removed which is pretty dumb and not what I want at all.

Should I file an error report directly to Unity or am I doing something wrong here?

I don’t know enough to help specifically, but I’d find exactly where in your code the application crashes. For example, is it when when game object load, get drawn to the screen, when the code hits one of your kinematic objects, or when it hits something related to your objects. If you find that you might be able to program around it or it might give more info for resolving rather than the error log.

That’s quite an old version of Unity, why not upgrade to the latest (4.5.3 I believe) and see if that fixes your problem? There’s a good chance that if this is a bug, it’s been fixed in the dozens of versions between yours and the current one. :slight_smile:
