Alright, so I'm trying to make an SCV build a nexus. I have it in the Advanced Buttons section in slot one (everything else was moved up 1 slot). The button works, and he started building, but it crashed at around the time the building frame would change, so I gave it large terran construction frames. Now, it crashes halfway through. If I play and DON'T build a nexus, it still crashes after a period of time. Anyone know why this might be a problem?

Would you mind posting your MPQ?
Although you gave it frames for the half-constructed state, is its iscript set up properly to use those frames?

I knew I was going to have to edit the iscript 
I suck with iscript. But I'll try. Thanks, Voy

My advice would be to figure out where the Terran CC uses it's half-built frames, and then just copy it into the Nexus' iscript.

That's what I had planned to do... Its all I'm really capable of at this point. I'll try this when I have time, and will post what happens afterwards 
Hopefully it will work.

Ah yes, that's right, I remember now. One of the frames of each Terran building is an image of it partially constructed, and it's referenced in the iscript. Yes, you do need that. I don't remember Protoss building construction animations, but you've got the idea. Just look at other buildings to see what they do.

That's probably why it crashes... I'll have to edit that.

it prolly crashes because your protoss "scv" has the same scripts as a normal scv, therefore the scv is ordered to wait near the building untill it finishes. This must be your problem.

No, its not. I have it fixed except for one problem which I'll fix later.

Well, my problem now is that I added a factory's construction frame to the nexus, and edited the iscript, but it crashes when it gets to that point. I think I might've changed the wrong thing... What was it that I was supposed to change?

some one should make a tut on this: changing buildings graphics, also the crash for no reason happens alot in my mods to, and i have completly no idea what it is

It's all figured out! Special thanks to Voy
I just have to fix the bitmap for the factory frame, and I'll be done! See, the problem was I didn't know I had to edit the .ral file. Again, THANKS VOY!!!

if would post just MPQ file, then u have to tell about exactly when crashed within middle of playing ur mod
so i could find or guess to cause of crashing ur mod
do you know perfectly well what I mean ?

Yes, I understand. It happened when I was testing the cannon's attack, it happened when it was about to attack the third time.
Attaching files... I attached the .pat file, the MPQ and the MemGraft patch.

allight, I just tried playing that a moment ago and i had playing without memgraft work
first, ur buttons set is no mistake, because when i did with MPQDraft by ur mpq file
that happend same crash
so i think, maybe that problem is unit/weapons but i'm not try check that yet
if i found something then i'll answer
Addition:
hmm i find out what it is wrong with ur mod
first, ur script of photon cannon is not right, in Attack orders there are many against the rule
when i will fix it done, i would answer detail
ADDITION:
ok~! here is fixed up iscript.bin
i did change that scripts without against the rule
try put this iscript.bin file then u will like it
and i can't tell u about what is right the rule now,
i got to so many works to do this time
so when if i get one's leisure, i'll reply to here
enjoy~!

Thank you I'm no good with iscript editing, so that's why I screwed it all up.
