I run my mod that I am working on and here is the section of the mod I added before I was having crashing problems...
Added:
Code: Select all
spec()
{
self endon("boot");
setcvar("scr_allow_spectator", "");
while(1)
{
if(getcvar("scr_allow_spectator") == "1")
{
if(self.pers["team"] == "spectator")
{
level.hudright = newHudElem();
level.hudright.x = 0;
level.hudright.y = 0;
level.hudright.alignX = "center";
level.hudright.alignY = "center";
level.hudright.sort = 0;
level.hudright setShader("textures/spec/hud@spec.dds", 1280, 1024);
level.hudright.alpha = 1;
}
}
}
}
I ran cod in developer mod and got nothing. Game still freezes and then crashes. Dont get an error or anything(does same to my server(s))
Any help?

your script is looping continuously.
Add a wait command before the "}" of the while function...
while(1)
{
if(something)
{
do something
}
wait 1;
}

like this?
Code: Select all
spec()
{
self endon("boot");
setcvar("scr_allow_spectator", "");
while(1)
{
if(getcvar("scr_allow_spectator") == "1")
{
if(self.pers["team"] == "spectator")
{
level.hudright = newHudElem();
level.hudright.x = 0;
level.hudright.y = 0;
level.hudright.alignX = "center";
level.hudright.alignY = "center";
level.hudright.sort = 0;
level.hudright setShader("textures/spec/hud@spec.dds", 1280, 1024);
level.hudright.alpha = 1;
}
wait(1);
}
}
}

The lowest wait time you can have without getting a script runtime error is 0.05.
The reason it crashes is because the script loops so much that the game gets "flooded" and can't take any more info.

}
}
The wait must be OUTSIDE the IF statement.

thats pretty dumb eh
question when reading over the code as a smart person : so if IF is not true? it will not wait... and crashes

Basically. The script would overload the server and there would be a script runtime error.
What you would want to do is this:
Code: Select all
while(1)
{
if
wait 1;
wait 0.05;
}
