Setting vehicletype on script_vehicle causes game to crash on load in Modding

I'm trying to get projectiles to launch out of a volcano and into the playable area.

So far I've tried doing this in two different ways: following UGX's Airstrike tutorial, and using code from BO2 Nuketown's method of having random perks come from the sky. In UGX's airstrike tutorial, it instructs me to set vehicletype to "corsair". This caused the game to crash upon loading:

Other vehicletypes cause it to crash too.
When I remove the vehicletype KVP, the game throws an error:

When I remove the script_vehicle and all related ents from the map completely, the game loads fine.

Originally I had a bunch of script_origin ents linked to each other and had the projectile MoveTo() each node, but it looked ugly as fuck because it moved to each node in a straight line, and paused for a split-second before moving to the next node, so just looked horrible.

Codmoddd1234 has fixed this issue, he sent me a couple of things via PM. I asked him if I could post the code here in case others have the same issue:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#include common_scripts\utility; 
#include maps\_utility;
#include maps\_zombiemode_utility; 
#include maps\_vehicle;
#include maps\_anim;

#using_animtree("generic_human");


setupvehicles_preload()
{
	build_acustom_vehicle( "rubber_raft" );
}

build_acustom_vehicle( type )
{
	model = undefined; 
	death_model = undefined; 
	death_fx = "explosions/large_vehicle_explosion";
	death_sound = "explo_metal_rand";
	health = 1234;
	min_health = 1233; 
	max_health = 1235;
	team = "axis"; 
	turretType = undefined; 
	turretModel = undefined; 
	func = ::blankpointerfunction;  //vehicle.gsc needs this for nothing

	if( type == "rubber_raft" )
	{
		model = "makin_raft_rubber";  //boat steers different than jeep
		death_fx = undefined; 
		death_model = "makin_raft_rubber";
		health = 1234;
		min_health = 1233; 
		max_health = 1235; 
		team = "allies";
		func = ::blankpointerfunction; //vehicle.gsc needs this for nothing
	}

	maps\_vehicle::build_template( type, model ); 
	maps\_vehicle::build_life( health, min_health, max_health ); 
	maps\_vehicle::build_treadfx(); 
	maps\_vehicle::build_team( team ); 
	maps\_vehicle::build_localinit( func );  
}

blankpointerfunction()
{
}

Code Snippet

Plaintext

// Base script (boat loops around)
// For building on in future

main()
{
	veh = getent("launch_test", "targetname");
	start_vehnode = getvehiclenode( veh.target, "targetname" );

	while (1)
	{
		veh attachPath( start_vehnode );
		veh StartPath();
		veh waittill("reached_end_node");
	}

	wait 5;
	veh setmodel( "woodthrone" ); // PLACEHOLDER MODEL
}

Added to mapname_patch.csv: rawfile,vehicles/rubber_raft
then put maps\setupvehicles::setupvehicles_preload(); before maps\_zombiemode::main();

I'll probably make a tut/download later on for this, too.
