For example, I want Shelob to Spawn an Egg which after a short time will die and spawn 1 spiderling thus theoratically over time you can produce an army of single spiderling units simply by having Shelob on the Battlefield. 

 

I have attempted to code this MANY MANY MANY times, however in all cases, it works for the Human player without issue but after one or 2 spawnings from an Ai controlled Shelob, the game abruptly crashes to desktop with a Runtime Error.

 

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Post some code

This is how i would do this

 

Have Shelob spawn an invisible object , then that dies into an egg ,then that dies into a spidering

test at each stage , by checking the spawned items i.e replace the final item by with Aragorn  and see if that is where the crash is

Make the invisible object visible by giving it a model for testing 

 

Here is a bit of code for the invisible object 

 

Then you would  have make your OCL's in the necessary way

 

Nice idea BTW
