Odd bugs/hacks
zmaster:
I was messing around on DAProg's server (dedi) and though "hmm, I should make a brick that makes me small even after I die"
So I did using VCE and a relay.
onRelay->self->fireRelay
onRelay->self->ifValue 1 == 1
onVariableTrue->player->setScaleBetter 0.1 0.1 0.1
then I clicked the brick.
I shrank really fast as expected. But then I grew really fast
Blockland locked up and crashed.
I rejoined the server to find that at least half the people crashed.
I then sought a way to fix this. I tried to replicate it on my server and succeeded. but with one difference: I locked up for a few seconds but did not crash.
Knowing a few console commands I fetched my player's properties. then i found this:
--- Code: ---...
==>$z = findPlayerByName("Zmaster");
Posting to rtb server
==>$z.dump();
Member Fields:
canSetIFLs = "0"
dataBlock = "PlayerStandardArmor"
rotation = "0 0 1 182.77"
scale = "1.#INF 1.#INF 1.#INF"
...
--- End code ---
Anyone know the reason this happens or has other odd bugs/hacks

Once again, using events like these are not hacks, there is no such thing is hacking on blockland.

when i said hack I meant it loosely in this context (event abuse etc).
and hacking can be done even in Blockland be very experienced programmers (Exe replacing by decompiling DLL replacment etc).

Blockland is currently running Torque, which is impossible to be hacked, we already had recent discussions like this.
Treynolds416:
The problem is scale
Somehow you made torque try to divide by 0 or get the square root of a negative number or something equally impossible.
