New animal pirate (EE4) Problem with this unit

Hi everyone. I have successfully created a "bandit" animal with is heavymounted unit. But I have having troubles with a "pirate" animal which is heavyinfantry, perhaps because of complexity of musketer attack or otherwise. I adjoin code, though I think the problem could be in dbcombat.csv (I haven't changed this csv file). Any help would be vey much appreciated. The problem is when this unit shoots or is shooted the game crashes...

Code: Select all

UnitType Pirate
{
	parent = LandAnimal
	properties {
		moveType = kUnitMoveType_Mounted
		displayName = tx_utn_Pirate_name
		hitpoints = 20
		verboseTooltip = vtt_unit_Pirate
	}
	abilities = [
		Attack { damage = 14; range = 10; reloadTime = 3; applyDamageTime = 0.2; missileName = "MusketBullet"; WeaponType = LightProjectile; PackTime = 2.00; UnpackTime = 2.00 }
		LOS { range = 10 }
		Move {speed = 1.7250; angSpeed = 720}
	]
	fullMapOverlay { sprite = spr_fullmap_smallunit ignoreOrientation = 1 }

}

UnitModel PirateBase
{
	Parent 		= BaseLandAnimal
	DefaultModel 	= prussianmusketer.nif
	UIRenderingParams {
		xOffset = 3.16
		yOffset = 2.96
		zOffset = -2.32
		scale = 1.87
		angle = 52.11
		rotationSpeed = 0.00
		pitch = 20.01
		lightAngle = 30.00
		lightPitch = 90.00
		lightDiffuse = [50 50 45 255]
		lightSpecular = [0 0 0 255]
		lightAmbient = [40 40 40 255]
	}
}


UnitModel Pirate
{
	Parent		= PirateBase
	ChildNames 	= [ UnitShadow Muzzle_Musketeer ]
	States 		= [

As first verify what is the reason - UnitType or UnitModel. Simply temporary rename Pirate UnitModel to something else, and copy Bandit UnitModel in that place (keep naming). If it still crashes then UnitType is the problem, otherwise something in UnitModel.

Hi Leader, thank you. The problem is in attack ability, the game seems not to accept packing/unpacking attack for an animal...

Could be a missing/incorrect packing/unpacking animation as well.

Added after 43 minutes 6 seconds:

What if it's not "Pirates" unit that crashes, at all?
