I create a prop_vehicle_apc and name it, and give it an npc_apc driver. And it works, it drives around the path_corners that were assigned, it shoots rockets and the machine gun, but when i kill it i get a memory read error and hl2 crashes. the apcs usually crash when they're moving, because if they arn't moving it sometimes lets you kill them.

Anyone else experience this, and know how i can fix it?

Perhaps you should change your map design around this bug then, and
make the prop_vehicle_apc invincible or don't let the player kill it.

Add an output to the apc to kill the apc_driver when the apc dies, I think that there is some kind of internal conflict between the driver and the blown up apc.

but i thought that the apc driver is what makes the apc explode violently when you kill it.

meh, i'll give it a shot, thanks
