Doesn't the name give it away? Reloadmap => reloads everything including bsp whereas, restart => restarts the scripts & respawns everybody (you could say, refreshes the map)

For some reasons not all scripts start!! I wonder why, its seems impossible but i cant play mission again without reloading whole bsp file... its a bit unfair because one computer load map faster than second, so players cant start in one moment...

Hmm, odd, maybe singleplayer works differently on this matter. Although, it shouldn't.

I never saw the words "multiplayer" and "mission" used together in an affirmative sentence nor anyone referring a multiplayer game with the word "mission". Do you use the word "mission" as a synonym for "objective"?

I have no idea what you're doing with your game/scripts, you seem to run into a lot of (weird) errors, I never had nor ever heard of. But in my game restart works splendid when I make some ingame adjustments to my scripts.

And if you don't reveal any scripts, then I cannot say whether it's the restart function that's causing the problem or your scripts. Or at least, say what script isn't starting, what makes you know for sure it's not working...

Mission. I mean mission.
Neverming, is there any diffrence between waitexec and waitthread ??

Waitexec is for external executions where no label within the external script is specified (so it just executes the first label it encounters in that script) and it pauses the label where this command was executed till the specified script('s first label) is done.
Eg:

Code: Select all

waitexec global/myscript.scr

Waitthread is for the executions of labels in the current script or a specific label in an external script and again it pauses the label where this command was executed till the specified label is done.
Eg:

Code: Select all

waitthread global/myscript.scr::mylabel
waitthread mylabel

Then again, since MoHAA's rules are so "elastic" (phrased by rookie :p), it waitexec works for specified labels in external scripts as well.

Well... after restart game crashes to windows bug report... but after reloadmap everythings still right.?!

That doesn't mean a thing if the game crashes under any circumstance, then there IS something wrong with your script/map.

Admittedly I'm getting a bit dusty

, but let's see if I remember this correctly...

If you restart, the game kills all existing script threads and the script is rerun from the 'level waittill spawn' line onward (this explains why you may have only one such line in an entire script). This means that if you start certain threads before 'level waittill spawn', they will not rerun if you 'restart' from console.

Not that it would explain a game crash though.
