what this script should do is add 1-3 little cubes to each side of a specific object (torus in my case for testing). then for each cube a random face within a section of the torus gets choosen and the upper 4 vertices of the cube are getting moved to the vertices of that face and a hook is applied. so far it's working for one side, but as i modify the function for the other side by adding arguments, blender crashes. i am almost sure to say this is due to memory issues. i am not into memory handling in python at all, therefore i tried del for every variable at the end of the function, sadly without success. so how do i free enough memory? or is there another approach? sorry if this code is hard to look at.. i'm a beginner. edit: hope i got the indentation right now

  • $\begingroup$ You must be using a version of blender that is older than 2.73 else you would be getting ensure_lookup_table errors. Maybe this helps you (i'm not saying this is how I would code this..) but with a few modifications it runs on Blender 2.76 gist.github.com/zeffii/4d3bec9c16c7a6b05b0e $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ it's worth updating to Blender 2.76 - because several potential crashes in scripted BMesh manipulations were fixed since your version was released ( 2.71) $\endgroup$

i finally found the solution to my problem. i had a while loop that was set for outdated testing purposes, wich ran infinitely for the right side. thanks zeffii for pointing out updated blender gets ensure_lookup_table errors.
