$player in a global file?

I'm (still) doing some mods and I'm busy with some stuff that needs to work for all levels, so in some global script.

There is just a problem, when I try to use $player in that script (for example DMprecache.scr) it goes horribly wrong.

Is it possible to use $player (or something else that lets me scan trough all the players) outside the map script?

u should be able to make ur own script and exec it in the map script....i wouldnt try to put it in the dmprecache but make ur own then exec it in the maps scripts u want......that how alot of fixes work without having to mod all the maps...just put exec global/urscriptname.scr and there ya go

hope this helps ya

I tried DMprecache and my own script, but that didn't work.

Apperantly $player can only be used after waittill spawn.
Makes sense, but DMprecache is before that and you can't use waittill spawn anywhere else than the mapscript.
So, i moved my script to after waittill spawn (just an exec) and it worked fine

Now I can finaly make changes to that in 1 place in stead of every map
