[LOGGED] Izzymap within user actor crashes

barneybroomer

Hi all,

When I nest a projector in a user actor and set Izzymap as user input it crashes when I trigger it. When I enter it within the user actor it works fine. Anyone else got this problem on Izzy 3.2.5? Running on Big Sur , M1 Mac mini /16gb

Cheers, Barney

I just tried your patch, and although I did not crash (running on Windows - UPDATE: bug confirmed on PC as well), I see how this configuration might lead to a bug (I will test further on mac to confirm - UPDATE: this is a confirmed bug on Mac).

Since the projector inside the user actor has not been changed to a Projector with a mapping yet, additional steps are required when this trigger is clicked.

I would recommend opening IzzyMap for the projector (this will change the type of the projector actor) and then updating the User Actor so that the user actor contains a Projector with the mapping Icon rather than the standard projector icon.
This will make the process run when the external trigger is clicked much simpler.

@dusx Tried out your suggestion but that does not change it. I am nesting several virtual projectors that need to be calibrated while running the program, so this setup is rather important like it is now.

I did some more testing, and I was able to successfully open IzzyMap in this way when it is 3 User Actor levels in, but only sometimes.
@Woland reported to me today that they were unable to reproduce the issue when doing a quick test.
I have LOGGED the issue, I am sure it will be prioritized for a future release, but I don't think I can offer any workaround or fix at this time.

What type of calibration are you having to do?
I've created tools for calibration in the past that used the Control Panel to make adjustments and would read the settings in from a Text file on startup. Perhaps there is some solution to the problem that doesn't require opening Izzymap from within User Actors.
