taking flak need some help

[ViPER]

this is part of the last one of my sh tow to dm conversions where im trying to make everything in tow work in dm. the flak gun in ardennes switches back and forth when controlled by teams.

the Problem - its working ok its just with each switchover the bombing events are increased. that is -

first control switch - 1 bomb every couple seconds (like it suppose to)

second control switch event - 2 bombs every couple seconds. and so on, and so on and on.

the togglegun thread is the switch part of my script and the flak cannon fire thread and down is mainly from the stock script and i dont understand it fully enough to figureout whats happening. any ideas?

Code: Select all

togglegun:

while(1) 
{ 
// wait for trigger event 
while(1) 
{ 
$guntrg waittill trigger 
if(parm.other.dmteam == allies || parm.other.dmteam == axis) 
break 
}

local.gun_trgteam = parm.other.dmteam
if(local.gun_trgteam == allies)
{

	//$obj_flak.ControlledBy = 0

	if( level.flakfire != 1 )
	{
		level.flakfire = 1
		level.abort_shot = 0

		//Fire
		$flak thread flak_attackdm $flak_allied_target

		iprintln "the Allies have control of the Flak 88!"
		wait 1
		iprintln "the Allies have initiated bombardment on Axis target!"

		if(level.nodynahud != 1)

i think i got it - i still not sure whats going on with the flak fire threads but i changed my switch - Rather then switching targets, it ceases fire - then a second press switches the target - and all seems to be reset.
