I am a programmer making a simple sci-fi action game with lite-c.
I have a very strange problem...
my bad guy is using the action below:
action ufo_stuff()
{
ufo = me;
var ufo_in = 0;
while (1)
{
c_move (my, vector(0*time_step, 0.7, 0), nullvector, GLIDE); // move the ship right
ufo_in += 1;
if (ufo_in >= 6000)
{
ent_create("g_laser.mdl", vector (ufo.x, ufo.y, ufo.z), e_fire); //create space junk
}
wait (1);
}
}
yet for some reason the variable "ufo_in" causes my game to freeze but I don't know how or why.
if I watch the variable "ufo_in" the watch says that it stays at "0".
The reason that that doesn't make sence is that after a specific amount of time the game freezes.
That has to be connected to the viable because if I make:
if (ufo_in >= 6000)
larger it takes longer to freeze and vice versa.
I am so confused as to what to do, please help.

var ufo_in not reset, ENTITY created every frame after ufo_in at 6000+? var ufo_in addition is frame-rate dependent? c_move right-directional movement is frame-rate dependent? Unnecessary multiplication of time_step and 0 in c_move call? No check against NULL for ufo ENTITY pointer in ent_create call?
action ufo_stuff()
{
ufo = me;
var ufo_in = 0;
while (me != NULL)
{
c_move (me, vector(0, 0.7 * time_step, 0), nullvector, GLIDE); // move the ship right
//ufo_in += 1;
ufo_in += time_step;
if (ufo_in >= 6000)
{
ent_create("g_laser.mdl", my.x, e_fire); //create space junk
ufo_in -= 6000;
}
wait (1);
}
}
