All of the things listed here can and usually will cause ''[[StarCraft]]'' to crash. If your [[map]] is crashing and you can't figure out why, read through this list and make any fixes necessary.

== Unit-/sprite-related crashes ==
*Setting a building's max HP to zero. (Windows-only)
*Setting a [[Units|unit]]'s build time to zero and viewing the unit production bar while the unit is being trained. (Windows-only)
*Placing certain units on the map.
**[[Independent Command Center]], [[Cantina]], [[Cave]], [[Cave-in]], [[Jump Gate]], [[Kyadarin Crystal Formation]], [[Mining Platform]], [[Ruins]], [[Protoss Marker]], [[Protoss Unused]] (both of them), [[Unused Terran Bldg]] (both of them), [[Terran Marker]], [[Alan Turret]], [[Duke Turret]] (both of them), [[Goliath Turret]], [[Tank Turret]] (both of them), [[Unused Zerg Bldg]], [[Unused Zerg Bldg 5]], [[Zerg Marker]]
*Placing certain [[sprites]] on the map. (Examples: [[Psionic Storm]], Grenade Shot Smoke, White Circle)
*Placing certain [[Units#Extended units|extended units]] or extended sprites on the map. (buffer overflow)
*Placing units for [[Players#Extended players|extended players]]. (color-related buffer overflow)
*[[Set Doodad State|Disabling]] certain units.
*Selecting [[Flag]]s with high-index (extended) player colors. (buffer overflow)
*Selecting extended units. (buffer overflow)
*Selecting [[Units#Unit sprites|unit sprites]] with negative HP.
*Selecting a unit with 8388607 HP and a nonzero HP flag (the small box next to HP box).
*Giving units from one player to another just as they hatch or are finished building.
*Placing certain disabled unit sprites on the map. (Examples: [[Protoss Archon]], [[Protoss Pylon]], [[Terran Siege Tank]], etc.)

====List of units that crash StarCraft====
*Independent Command Center
*Cantina
*Cave
*Cave-in
*Jump Gate
*Kyadarin Crystal Formation
*Mining Platform
*Ruins
*Protoss Marker
*Protoss Unused (both of them)
*Unused Terran Bldg (both)
*Terran Marker
*Alan Turret
*Duke Turret (both)
*Goliath Turret
*Tank turret (both)
*Unused Zerg Bldg
*Unused Zerg Bldg 5
*Zerg Marker

== Map-related crashes ==
*Creating a map in which both dimensions are non-standard sizes. (Standard sizes are 64, 96, 128, 192, and 256 tiles.)
*:This only crashes when there is no data in the [[terrain]] and mini-map buffers from a standard-sized map. In other words, play a normal-sized map before playing a odd-sized map in order to avoid the crash.
*Setting an active player's race to an invalid one. (buffer overflow)
*Setting an active player's controller to an invalid one. (buffer overflow)
*Setting an active player's color to an invalid one.
*Invalid terrain. Can happen when making picture maps.

== Other crashes ==
*Attempting to use the Play [[WAV]] [[trigger]] action with [[strings]] that don't exist in the map. (String pointer is beyond max strings (default: 1024).)
*Displaying text that is mapped to a non-existent string. (String pointer is beyond max strings (default: 1024).)
*Initiating non-existent triggers. (buffer overflow)
*Displaying illegal/invalid portraits. (buffer overflow)
*Placing non-existent terrain tiles. (buffer overflow)
*Running conditions that read as a buffer overflow and reach non-readable memory.
*Saving the game when playing a map in which any player owns more than 65534 triggers.
