Multiplayer assassinate script

Hey guys,
I am almost finished a multiplayer map where the Allied object is to kill an Axis officer. When I load the map, I can kill the officer but the map does not finish. In the console I am getting a Null listener error on the waittill death line. Here is part of the script, what am I missing? My bot model has a targetname of $leader. Thanks a lot for any help, Goat
main:
exec global/ai.scr
level waittill prespawn
level waittill spawn
level.defusing_team = "axis"
level.planting_team = "allies"
level.targets_to_destroy = 1
level.dmrespawning = 1
level.dmroundlimit = 15
level.clockside = axis
thread axis_win_timer
thread leader
end
leader:
$leader waittill death
thread allies_win_kill
allies_win_kill:
if(isalive $leader)
{
if(isalive $leader)
teamwin allies
}
else
waitframe
end
axis_win_timer:
level waittill axiswin
end

K, got rid of the Null listener error but the map still will not finish after the officer is killed. Thanks, Goat

put an end at the end of the leader thread
if not post back
and also put in your script
iprintlnbold_noloc "is he dead" //after the $leader waittill death line just to see if it's reading the script
and remove the second if (isalive $leader), u only need the 1st

Thanks Nuggets!!!! I did the changes you suggested. It printed the 'is he dead' but still didn't finish. I then took out the whole 'isalive $leader 'section and just had teamwin allies for that section and now it works. Much oblige, Goat

$chappys_name exec global/disable_ai.scr //chappy's name to be defined
$chappys_name runto $wp1 //and again and place a waypoint in there to move to called wp1

Use a pathnode instead of waypoint. AI use pathnodes, not waypoints.

Hey Goat, if it's not to much to ask, do you think I can borrow your script for my map? If you don't want to send it out... that's fine. I just think that it would go great with my map

Sure man, it is on it's way. I will only include the assassinate part as the script is huge. It also has elevators, gondolas, trucks, stuff that you don't need. Cool?
if/while

An "if" statment only runs once, so the waitframe stopped the game from ending. You should of made it a "while" statment so it would keep checking to see if the officer was alive.
You can also use:
level.targets_destroyed ++
to add one to the number targets destroyed.
while(level.targets_destroyed < level.targets_to_destroy)
waitframe
