ccess violation reading location 0x0000000c When Running Code

selimi02 (6)
I've started creating mods for an open source game titled Liberal Crime Squad and have come across a error that I can not bypass. Every time I debug the program I get "Unhandled exception at 0x773615de in crimesquad.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000c" from my research I have come to the conclusion that it has something to do with a pointer. The code modifies the interrogation setting to allow the player to release hostages, I've used the Kill code since it's similar to the Free code. I've tried switching the names of the two functions and yet the modified code intended for releasing still works when it is switched to kill but the code meant to kill doesn't work for Freeing. Also the code works fine if the target is freed and the Kill function still works.

Below is the main area of my code. I added the TECHNIQUE_FREE, changed all the parts that say for(int I = 0; I < 7; (originally 6) I++) and bool techniques[6].

Boy, I sure love to look at walls of code and not knowing what the type or value of anything is or where an error is occurring.
selimi02 (6)
I'm sorry, I really don't know where the error is...

If you are using 0-6 as indices, how many elements must the array contain?
selimi02 (6)
Well, It was originally 5 so added another to hold the new element, Free
That's what I tried doing but I think your on the right track
