@Petra: Try it, load a level and use ent_create after it without a wait(3). You will get an error...

Read my post; that's what I said, but aparently in A7 this is no longer an issue, even the manual doesnt say anything about it anymore...

Here's the proof; http://manual.3dgamestudio.net/beta.htm
"The level_load function is now executed directly and undelayed, thus a wait() after level loading is not required anymore."

Yep. Widi, just look into the tutorial, already the very first lesson shows how to load a level. Level loading does not "take a few cycles", it is just one command.

http://www.conitec.net/litec/work01.htm

So lets all agree not to suggest that wait to newcomers as a solution anymore, ok?

Whoops, my bad. I missed the transition from A6 to A7 back in the day, so I didn't catch that fix.

But this is only a *hmp, don`t need more than one frame. If you use a bigger *.wmb, then you have to wait.

You test it yourself? I already do it and it is how i say... Trust me.

EDIT: And i use the newest version.

Well, it wouldn't hurt to try it.

I also use WMBs and never need any wait. Look in the tutorial, there are also many WMB levels.

Besides, when you say you need a wait and the manual said you don't, then obviously either you or the manual is wrong. Maybe you should contact Conitec to fight that out.

I'm sorry Petra but wait(x); is very important under some circumstances (e.g. multiplayer/online, invalid pointers), you may have not encountered such situations yet.

OK, you don`t will go to test it...

Let's stop the discussion here...
I think Petra and me made a valid point showing multiple reference's from conitec that a wait after a level_load is no longer needed.
The original post has been solved as well, if anyone feels like they need to have another discussion about it, i'd say do it over PM's

this has gone way off-topic.
