Grimrock

I was trying to make a trap where you flip a switch to send a monster plummeting to their deaths and it worked, but immediatly the game crashed and gave this error log:

I managed to reproduce the crash by placing a pit to a dungeon with a single floor only (the user needs to add an extra level below for the monster to fall into). The editor needs to be able to handle the erroneous situation better (eg. no crashing! ).

Thank you for the report!

Thank you for the quick response.

So it should be fixed if I add another floor? Does it need to have a room for the beast to fall into?

Adding a floor fixes it. A room is not absolutely necessary but recommended.
