OK, this is the first map i have ever made and I based my script off of the Objectives tutorial by AL. It keeps telling me I have an infinite loop because I have:

Code: Select all

main:
...
thread test_enter
...
end

test_enter:
while!(isTouching enter)
{
wait 1
}
$light show
end

but the only problem is I know f no other wa to code this because if I take out the while loop then it only checks it once and never again. Is there anyway to do this without the While loop?

Hmmm I'm quite surprised that code does anything at all

, but there's no possibility of an infinite loop in there....

i think it does because

"!"(regardless of argument)

so how would I code that then, I have the dynamic light set up and I have the $light hide set up, i just want it to show the light when I enter a certain room... how would I do this then?

Take a look - The light is fully scripted to enhance the map. the trigger, the switch model and the light is all scripted.

the hanging lamps are mapped but you could script those too.
