Hi,

I'm working on a small project that requires some data initialisation following each new level that is loaded. However, despite the fact that the Lite-C documentation says scripts continue following the level_load instruction, this initialisation doesn't take place when the player model leaves the initial level.

The code I'm using is:

function Main_loadLevel(STRING* strLevel) {

level_load(strLevel);
wait(2);

DebugOutputPanel_addToLog("qwertyuisxcvbnm");

Global_entCharacter = ent_create(NULL, NULL, CharacterBehaviour);
Character_calculateArmour();
Character_calculateDamage();

STRING* temp1 = "";
str_for_num(temp1, Global_vecPlayerLocation[0]);
DebugOutputPanel_addToLog(temp1);
str_for_num(temp1, Global_vecPlayerLocation[1]);
DebugOutputPanel_addToLog(temp1);
str_for_num(temp1, Global_vecPlayerLocation[2]);
DebugOutputPanel_addToLog(temp1);

Global_entPlayer = ent_for_name("entPlayer");
Global_entPlayer.x = Global_vecPlayerLocation[0];
Global_entPlayer.y = Global_vecPlayerLocation[1];
Global_entPlayer.z = Global_vecPlayerLocation[2];
Global_entPlayer.pan = Global_numPlayerPan;

// Initialise level entities to saved states
IO_loadLevel(Global_strLevelToLoad);

// Set the level name and character info component text
HudPanel_setLevelName();
HudPanel_setCharacterName();
HudPanel_setCharacterHp();
}

It works fine when the game is first loaded but doesn't work when a new level is loaded - none of the debug text is displayed within the log.

Thanks in advance!

Try if it works if you add the following line of code at the top of your function:


comment:
functions have a my pointer, if they are called from an entity it points to that entity.
If a level_load happens, all functions which have a my pointer unequal to NULL will be terminated.
So this could be the problem here. (just a guess)

edit: thanks lukas, didn't watch my typing here ;-)

Yes, null must be NULL in Lite-C, because it's case-sensitive.

Nice one, guys! It's working now - it wasn't the only problem (there were other bugs I had to track down) but it solved the initial error of the script ending.

Much obliged to you all...

Jim
