~~script error: cannot cast 'NIL' to float
wait self.waittime (global/friendly.scr, 1172)
~~script error: cannot cast 'NIL' to float
while (isalive self) (global/friendly.scr, 228)

Can you post your map scripts?
Do you have any infinite loops in scr, like
without 'wait' cmds inside?
...or try setting waittime to float, on initialization, eg:
$myaliedsoldier.waittime = 5 //see m3l2.scr for correct value

xec global/auto.scr
level waittill prespawn
level waittill spawn
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
main:
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
waitthread InitPlayer
end
level.friendly1.targetname = friend1
level.friendly2.targetname = friend2
level.friendly3.targetname = friend3
thread FriendWait
end
$friend1.destination = $player
$friend2.destination = $player
$friend3.destination = $player
// Sets the type of friendly soldier
$friend1.friendtype = 1
$friend2.friendtype = 1
$friend3.friendtype = 1
// stagger how far away they keep from their destinations
$friend1.distance = 175
$friend2.distance = 225
$friend3.distance = 250
// setup the friendlies to follow the player...
$friend1 thread global/friendly.scr::friendlythink
$friend2 thread global/friendly.scr::friendlythink
$friend3 thread global/friendly.scr::friendlythink
end
----------------------------------------------------
there dosent appear to be any loops but the computer dosent seem to like the last part of the script, apparently that loops, u know more about this than me.
write back asap

$friend1 thread global/friendly.scr::friendlythink
$friend2 thread global/friendly.scr::friendlythink
$friend3 thread global/friendly.scr::friendlythink
end
I think that would be better?

Do you have any triggers near that room?
Remove'em...
and replace exec global/auto.scr with exec global/friendly.scr

Just realised, at the top you said you have 1 ally, this script is for 3 allies lol. Thus "friendly1 2 3" etc...
You need to have 3 and give each ally a targetname of friendly.
I.E.
Key:
$targetname
Value:
friendly
Then you need to set their
#fnum, you can also set their
#friendtype.
I.E.
Key:
#fnum
Value:
1
Key:
#fnum
Value:
2
Key:
#fnum
Value:
3
Otherwise you'll have to edit the script again for just one ally.
exec global/auto.scr
level waittill prespawn
level waittill spawn
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
main:
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
thread FriendInit //or waitthread FriendInit
end
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FriendInit:
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
level.friendly1.targetname = friend1
$friend1.destination = $player
// Sets the type of friendly soldier
$friend1.friendtype = 1
// stagger how far away they keep from their destinations
$friend1.distance = 175
// setup the friendlies to follow the player...
$friend1 thread global/friendly.scr::friendlythink
end
Give him an #fnum of 1 and the $targetname friendly.

You can use your own script to control soldiers... this should work for you, of course you have to change $cappy to your soldier targetname
Code: Select all
main:
level waittill spawn
wait 1
$cappy thread follow $player 1000 5
end
follow local.player local.distance local.wait:
self.destination = local.player
self.distance = local.distance
if (self.distance <= 10)
{
self.distance = 50
}
while (isalive self)
{
if !(vector_within self.origin self.destination.origin self.distance)
{
self runto self.destination
}
wait local.wait
}
end
ps:
dude, I'd like to see your map and scr file to find out what cause crash....
