Hello everyone,

I have problems with my code and I can't find a solution to my problem. Maybe I suck at searching, but I don't really know how to specify my question.

I have the following code-example:


It is supposed to create some empty object, delete it again, wait one second and keep doing this. But I keep getting a crash.
I thought that ent_remove would completely remove the entity so I can create it again. The vector would be different later everytime in case you wonder.

Did I overlook anything? Thanks for any help.
Yours,

well the problem could be, that you delete the entity immediately after creating it

Thanks for the help,
but even if I add more wait()-commands inbetween,
it crashes every time after the first loop.

Edit: with ptr_remove() it does not seem to work aswell

maybe the name dummy is used by something else

Thanks for the reply,
I changed the name but still get a crash

when I try the code it works perfectly.

the mistake must be somewhere else.. :S

Thanks for all the help so far,
I tried the code and as Kartoffel said, the problem is somewhere else.
I did not include the following because I thought it would not be important.

This Entity that I want to create every loop, shall after it is created do a c_scan to scan for other entities.
Like the following:



When I remove the c_scan, all of the rest works fine.
With the c_scan enabled, the loop will trigger my event one time and crash the next time.

Edit: There are other Entities around so the event gets triggered, they have nothing to do with this script.

the code I gave you would help you out in determining the problem because it should help only executing code when the entity pointer's empty/exist ..

since you only provided the code that "is not the problem" , there is nothing to find in it which "is the problem" from our side , therefore the most logical effort I could give , I already gave ..


if you want help , you must try narrowing it down to where the problem is , and provide that also .

Okay I understand, thanks for your replay Wjbender.

I used your code, implemented it 1:1 and added my 3 lines of c_scan-code


but I still get the same error.
The entity gets created, then I hear the beep (which means it got deleted) and then it crashes.
When I remove my 3 lines of c_scan-code then I hear multiple beeps, so the entity gets created, deleted, created, deleted and so on just fine.

So I narrowed it down to my 3 lines of c_scan-code I think,
which work only the first time, then they crash.

The c_scan is supposed to detect entities around my dummy (which are placed there by another function, they are nothing special, but are in reach of my c_scan)
What I expect to happen would be:
My dummy gets created, he scans, sees entities around him and triggers my c_scan_event (message on screen with printf) and then the dummy gets deleted.
Right after he gets deleted he will get created again and all starts over.

I hope I am not too confusing, I have not coded for a loooong time
