Crash using ()near_point

This simple script crashes the game just after the loading bar reaches full and the screen fades. I've tried changing the co-ords, wait time, if it checked to see if the player was defined, radius etc. and no luck. I was using this on a previous scm and it worked perfectly.

Is another one i tried and that still didn't work. I have no idea what is wrong, i've changed $PLAYER_ACTOR to $PLAYER_CHAR and it still doesn't work.

 

Thanks.

Did you create the thread in the new scm?

[deltadude]

I'm not that stupid It wouldn't compile if i hadn't.

 

Do you think it could be something to do with the starting cut scene and missions removed? Everything still works perfectly, no intro, shops/parachute etc. working. I don't see how that could effect that line of code though? PLAYER_ACTOR and PLAYER_CHAR are set still.

LOL! Actually, it would.

 

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see anything wrong with that code (using $PLAYER_CHAR isn't right however, this is an actor opcode, and will probably cause a crash, but you said you tried $PLAYER_ACTOR too). Well yeah, see if the game still crashes without it (or try it in a stripped SCM), it may crash because of other things. Should note though that the ":CODE_3" line declaring a new label label is useless, remove it.

Huh? When i forget to create a thread my builder won't compile until i do.

 

I'll include what i did to the Intro mission here, other than that i just removed all of the Storyline missions and edited the DEFINE bit at the top.

I'm sure this or removing the missions has done something to it just to stop this single line working just at this single point just so none of my mods has worked but all the other ones used in the script do (()near_point that is) .

I wasn't trying to imply that you were "that stupid"; with the barest of information given, I was just checking all possibilities.

 

If you WANT me to imply it though, I'd be happy to.

 

Anywho, what's with this line, yo?

 

 

02A8: $439 = create_marker $441 at $459 $460 $461 

 

 

Are all those vars defined still near the top of your code, or did you lop that off too? Because that might cause a crash as well.

 

And like Bigun siad, try it in a stripped SCM and see if it works.

I'll include what i did to the Intro mission here, other than that i just removed all of the Storyline missions and edited the DEFINE bit at the top.

 

 

:INTRO_103A4: name_thread 'INTRO' 016A: fade  1 (back)  1000 ms...

 

As implied by ceedj as well, you simply ignored my previous post. I didn't say to post your other modifications here. Hell, your problem can be any random line you modified by mistake without noticing it, don't post your whole SCM for that, eh? Do what I asked in my previous post, see if it still crashes after you remove the initially posted thread OR see if the initially posted thread causes a rash in a stripped SCM.

Thanks.

First of all, change player_char back to player_actor.

Second. where did you add your thread? It has to be inserted right below the main thread iirc.

Third. Like the others already said. Try it in a stripped script. Insert it in the main section, just before end thread.

 

(Fourth. IIRC, double pound signs (££) can only be used in the main section of the code. Im not sure if it applies to threads to tho, and i cant check it right now)

 

(Fifth. From the code your showing us, you only use one create thread command, "004F: create_thread ££A_TERM_1". Does that thread exist? Do you create Code_1 somewhere too?)
