script suddenly stops

(sQynor) #1

My script suddenly stops o.o

When i press button it says O then 1 and then moves my script mover…
but then it stops O.o

I’ve looked this over like 10 times now… but i don’t see any mistake…

Ah, maybe you fell into the same trap as I once did: when you call a trigger, it does not return to the caller when the mentioned trigger contains any statements which “wait” or if there is an “resetscript” statement.

So basically, you call the “timer_on” trigger which calls trigger “number_1” in turn. Seeing how the latter contains a wait statement, the script stops.

You’ll have to rewrite your script. I don’t know in which context this script will be used, so I cannot give any advice yet.

can u highlite the WAIT u mean? or underline is ?

this doesn’t work either =(

Hmmm, it’s not that i’m a noob at scripting… but everything should be alright… but isn’t… and i can’t find any mistakes…

I want to make a counter that counts fomr 0 to 9 and then over and over… so i can make it count to 100… i made it before with 30! func_static… each containing a number 0 - 9 … so it could count to 999 atm.

Now i’m trying this… it’s more fps friendly because u only have 1 brush instead of 10… ( if it works i make 2 new timers )

Not just the “wait” statements are the culprit - also the “faceangles” commands incur waits (gotmarker by default doesn’t, unless you add the “wait” parameter)!

Here’s one way to keep it counting:

game_manager

	spawn
	{

		wm_allied_respawntime 1

		accum 0 set 0
		facenagles 0 0 0 1
	}
	trigger move_on
	{
		gotomarker counter_01_forward 5000
		faceangles 0 0 0 1
	}

	trigger move_off

		gotomarker counterBack_1 5000
	}

	}
}

}

(Note I stripped of all the “move_on”/“move_off” things as I was confused about their purpose.)

Thanks i got it working :> but now the problem is… what was the exact fault why it didn’t went going… ?

(kamikazee) #6

As I said: any statement causing the script to wait for just one moment will stop the script from returning to its caller. The script engine is made that way.

Statements to look out for are faceangles, gotomarker (with a wait parameter), wait, resetscript, followspline (with a wait parameter) and followpath (with a wait parameter).
Just try some simple script with any of these commands and you’ll see the script will stop unless it has chained trigger calls.
