Heya!

I'm having troubles with empty pointers after level_load...namely within these lines:
Code:

---

mtl.skill1 = pixel_for_vec(vector((d3d_fogcolor1.blue*ent_terrain.terr_fogcol_fac)+ent_terrain.terr_add_blue,(d3d_fogcolor1.green*ent_terrain.terr_fogcol_fac)+ent_terrain.terr_add_green,(d3d_fogcolor1.red*ent_terrain.terr_fogcol_fac)+ent_terrain.terr_add_red), 100, 8888);	
mtl.skill2 = pixel_for_vec(vector(ent_terrain.terr_amb_fac*150,ent_terrain.terr_amb_fac*150,ent_terrain.terr_amb_fac*150),100,8888);
  

---

A "while(!ent_terrain){wait(1);}" after the level_load diden't help in this case.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Ok...I found out that if I set "material.enable_render = on" instead of "material.enable_view = on" it works. But meterial.enable_render slows down the fps

Is there a workaround to "reload" mtl.skills (in conection with entity pointers) after level_load...without having to use material.enable_render = on ??

Thanks!

I think you can add this line "while(!ent_terrain){wait(1);}"
at the start of the function that causes error,instead of
placing them after level_load.

That won't work....not for initializing a material as event in the material script

oh I see...how about placing this line "while(!ent_terrain){wait(1);}"
just before you attach the material to your entity..like

..
while(!ent_terrain){wait(1);}
my.material = mtl;
..

cheers
