I was hoping that someone could tell me if there was a LUA function that forces people out of an armed building with positions. Because when I destroy it, the map crashes, and I'm pretty sure it's because I have AI in there and I placed it in Zero Editor (and therefore is not treated like an ordinary vehicle - also it is, by definition, a building, not a vehicle). So anyway, I'm trying to make it so that the people inside are either killed or ejected before I destroy the thing. Possible?

Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. I mean, I want them to be one-time vehicles, but there must be some way of making it behave like a destroyed vehicle when it is brought down(mainly killing everyone inside).

What explosion effect are you using? If the game can't find it it will CTD.
Try commenting out the explosion effect in the ODF and see if that makes a difference

Actually, it didn't have an explosion. So I made one, refrenced it, and tried again. It exploded fine (I saw the effect happen), and then it crashed. Before the effect was finished, but I saw it start. I'm not sure I know what that means.

Here's the odf for the armed building:

And here is the code that calls the KillObject functions in the conquest LUA:

Hidden/Spoiler:

OnFinishCaptureName(

	function(post)

		if GetCommandPostTeam(post) == 2 then

			KillObject("jug1")

			DisableBarriers("jug1")

		end

	end,

	"cp4"

)	

OnFinishCaptureName(

	function(post)

		if GetCommandPostName(post) == 2 then

			KillObject("jug1")

			DisableBarriers("jug1")

		end

	end,

	"cp5"

)

ETA: There were no meaningful errors in the error log. And even if there were, I don't have enough room to post it here. It's rather filled with a lot of localization warnings and such
