.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I have this statement for a teleport trigger that I want a player to activate by using the use key.

while(1)
			{
			local.player = parm.other
			local.teletrigg waittill trigger
			
			if(local.player.useheld == 1)
				{
				local.start_snd playsound beam_off
				local.player tele ( local.teleporter.end )
				local.dest_snd playsound snd_b_zing8
				local.teletrigg nottriggerable
				local.beam scale 1
				local.hum stoploopsound
				wait 25
				local.teletrigg triggerable
				local.hum loopsound beam_on
				local.beam scale 25
				}
			waitframe
			}

Everytime I test this out, the very first time I trip the the trigger or try to, I get this error in console:

Code: Select all

*Area51*G3mInI_2LT has joined the Allies
			if(local.player.useheld == 1) (global/g3mini_teleporter.scr, 59)
			if(local.player^

^~^~^ Script Error: Field 'useheld' applied to NULL listener

			if(local.player.useheld == 1) (global/g3mini_teleporter.scr, 59)
			if(local.player^

^~^~^ Script Error: Field 'useheld' applied to NULL listener

The trigger does work everytime and the player does teleport. The next time I go to the trigger, there is never anymore errors. This error only appears the very first time I try to use the trigger after the map is loaded. Any ideas why ?

"local.player = parm.other" should be after the trigger event.

isn't parm.other the last person to have tripped the trigger? if not, what is?

That did it. Thank you sir. Am now error free in the console. It's a pretty rare event for me, so I am going to celebrate!

Cheers,

Yes it is lizardkid, but he had it before the trigger was fired. So, "loacl.player" was NIL (no value).
