Maybe you didn't add the "player = my;" line of code to your player script. As an alternative, you can comment the "while (player == null) {wait (1);}" line of code from Molotov's script.

okay I thought of that too now I´ll try

question Molotov...i used your script and i get an error when i am on the level. when i press l, it says: Empty pointer in flashlight: (player.flash_light==on). am i missing something?

You did put the following lines in your script;
"define flash_light skill96;"
and have this "player = me;" in your player code.
and do still have this line in the beginning of the flashlight code,
"while (player == null) {wait (1);}"

the code i am using is the plbiped01 code. i added the "player = my;" in the line of code. but i still get errors when i press L to turn on the light. i used the code exactly as you wrote it, with the "while (player == null);. should it say "player = me;?

Hey Blink, changing player == my in to player == me, doesn't really change anything. When I'll have some time I will try to see if I can get plbiped01 to work with my flashlight code. In the mean time maybe placing a proc_late inside the flash function would work.

thanks, i discovered no change when i changed me and my,lol. where do i put proc_late?

here is the flash function:


function flash()
{
var temp2;
while (player == null) {wait (1);}
my.passable = on;
my.invisible = on;
my.lightred = 250;
my.lightgreen = 250;
my.lightblue = 170;
while(player.flash_light == on)
{
my.lightrange = 100;
temp.x = max_dist * cos(player.pan) * cos(player.tilt) + player.x;
temp.y = max_dist * sin(player.pan) * cos(player.tilt) + player.y;
temp.z = max_dist * sin(player.tilt) + player.z;
trace_mode = ignore_models + use_box;
vec_for_vertex(temp2,player,711);
my.skill1 = trace (temp2, temp);
if (my.skill1 != 0)
{
temp.x = (my.skill1 - 30) * cos(player.pan) * cos(player.tilt) + player.x;
temp.y = (my.skill1 - 30) * sin(player.pan) * cos(player.tilt) + player.y;
temp.z = (my.skill1 - 30) * sin(player.tilt) + player.z;
vec_set (my.pos, temp);
}
wait(1);
}
my.lightrange = 0;
ent_remove(me);
}
{
proc_late(); // not sure if this is right lol
...
}

No, proc_late should be about here;
function flash()
{
var temp2;
proc_late;
while (player == null) {wait (1);}
........

But don't know if it works.
Anyway do you also have placed "define flash_light skill96;" at the top of the script?

it didnt work, still the same error. i am not sure whats causing the issue. have any other ideas?
