I_SignalHandler 8 error

[CrazyDoomguy]

I do decohack doom tools and see this error. What does this mean?

I tried make barrel because my old dehaked took original barrel and replaced to cacodemon, now i want barrel back. Fix old dehacked is not easy and take many time, so better create new thing

auto thing Barrel "Barrel"

Your code and resulting patch is missing Mass 100 of the original barrel, so it gets a 0 and crashes, presumably trying to calculate movement.

Thank you! indeed, it miss mass. Now it works!!!

I'd just like to add that this error is not specific to modern source ports: even vanilla Doom with plain DeHackEd will crash if a zero-mass object is hit by a shot or explosion. ("Signal 8" here specifically signals a math error - in this case, division by zero when calculating how much the object should be pushed back when hit.)
