Huy all!
Make alarm mission (read Mohaa/main/global/alarmer.scr). Question:
can somebody say, why when i turn on alarm my game is frozen or someelse my mission didn't loaded (write's

ERROR: Level::AllocEdict: no free edicts

).
What's a problem?

Is this for MultiPlayer or SinglePlayer?

MultiPlayer:
/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1908
/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9437
SinglePlayer:
/t.php?id=50

I would put that error in the search and see what you get

It means too many entities have been spawned

Most of the stock scripts are very poorly coded. I wouldn't be surprised if it's another bug in this script.

Listen your answers and:
1) I made a Singleplayer map;
2) doing everything in article
/t.php?id=50;
3) when game is frozen & unloaded/ it writ's:ERROR: Command overflow. Possible infinite loop in thread.
Some reasons to decide this?

Probably a bug in your own script. Post it, please.

Down is the script file of my alarm system:
main:
level waittill prespawn
exec global/alarmer.scr
level waittill spawn

$player item weapons/thompsonsmg.tik
$player ammo smg 1000
$player useweaponclass smg
end

alarm_player_reset:
thread global/alarmer.scr::alarm_player_reset
end

Hmm. There are a couple of potential breakpoints in the script. Get us a whole logfile and we may be able to trace it down.

Sorry, i forgot that i am using maps without prefix test
i.e. I made my own *.tik files and loaded them by mymapname_precache.scr
[Loading mymap with prefix 'test' didn't work too]

P.S.: all need sounds are loaded in my *.tik files.
Don't know what it want and why it didn't work.
Who work with Singleplayer maps without prefix 'test', but with all need sounds, please, say how decide this problem.

cache models/vehicles/t34_cannon.tik

That is a spearhead model you should have said it was for spearhead . There is a syntax problem with the global/alarmer.scr and spearhead . It has been some time since I had used it I use to have a fix for it but can't find it all I can find is a MP version of it . The MP version might work for single player too not sure you can try it if you want

alarmer_MP.zip

you will have to extract it and not rename it to pk3 for it to work , put the .scr in the global directory .

That's weird, the only difference between the AA and SH script is that canseenoents is being used in SH instead of sighttraces.

Like I said it has been a while but I think that the alarmer.scr was never used in spearhead and it was this part that didn't work

while ($alarmspawner)
{
local.ent = waitthread global/spawner.scr::spawner_create $alarmspawner[1]
local.ent.targetname = "alarmspawned"
}

in the alarmer_mp.scr I notice I had changed it to this

for(local.i=1;local.i< $alarmspawner.size+1;local.i++)
{
local.ent = waitthread global/spawner.scr::spawner_create $alarmspawner[local.i]
local.ent.targetname = "alarmspawned"
}

I think that was all that it was but you will have to test that . In spearhead mods must be in a pk3 to over write the stock files so you might want to make a .scr of a different name to test this theory .

Great thanks bdbodger

I put alarmer_MP.scr in the global directory, used it in the script and

IT WORKS

Thanks all
