my friends map had a bug in it so that whenever you would click on a particular firebat your sc would crash. It was a firebat in a madness map where the firebat was a hero to be chosen. Whenever any1 would click on it to see the damage they would all crash! whats up with that?!

Post the map so that we could see the problem.
If the firebats had like insane upgrades and damages thats your problem.

Then why do you need to know?
It could of been an unused unit or had some bad flags checked or something, impossible to tell really specifically now.

Units don't crash because of damage. If the firebat had a positive hp over a negative hp, it would crash. I know that...

Just place firebats it doesn't happen normallly, he must have done something else for that to happen.

I think it's funny how there is a big warning that says "When making a new topic for help, the topic title should be about your problem and not about "I need help" or "I don't get this". Your topic WILL be deleted if it doesn't have a discriptive title!" but we still get "whats up with this?"

Nothing.
Well I think this thread is done, problem solved. Just place a firebat normally and it'll work.

negative life doesn't crash, i tried to make a medic defense like that but couldn't get it to work.
and if he didn't have a program that could place sprites he oculdn't put health like 7/4.
Maybe somethign just got corrupted, I duuno.

Highest possible dmg for a firebat...
5,119,488 I think thats a bit too high... wouldn't it crash if it was higher than 65355(I don't rememebr exact number)
someone test this, I can't right now

The highest it went was 65374, and that was when I put 65355 and higher in starforge in the damage box.
I didn't crash or nothing.
The number oyu can put is messed up since if you try to go and type like 100000 it won't let you but if you put 65355 and change the numbers within it will go higher.

Don't you mean 65535?
I've had units with in excess of 200,000 damage due to upgrades and they didn't crash.

I didn't test with upgrades just normal damage and the highest I could get was that number there, I don't htink SC can crash becuase of damage.

Maybe he had some weird combination of ASCII characters in the Firebat's name.

When i compress and protect a map with proedit it 
s up all the stings and it crashes when you click on some units. That could be it.
If you make a unit that does too much damage it will always hit for 1/2 a damage for some reason. I guess SC dosent play with numbers that big
