My map freezes everytime after the first few seconds from the game start from an 'infinite loop', now I've had this before and usually it's caused by a typo on one of my KVPs, however I've checked every KVP and in my scripts and I can't find any? The strange thing is the freeze only occurs on solo (co-op is fine) and if I pause and restart the game it no longer happens?
Anyone have any ideas?

Try using developer and developer script. It might give you a better idea of whats causing the issue.

Add any scripts? One of them may have an infinite loop, like using a while() loop with nothing to make it wait for amount of time or event. (like wait 0.5; or waittill("<notified_event>"))

example:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

example_loop() //INFINITE LOOP
{
	while(1)
	{
		iprintln("Hello");
	}
}

Code Snippet

Plaintext

example_loop() //NOT INFINITE LOOP
{
	while(1)
	{
		wait 0.5; // Needed wait timer (or waittill can be here)
		iprintln("Hello");
	}
}

No I used the UGX script placer, the weird part is that the freeze only happens in solo though, so I think it's gotta be related to something unique to solo mode? The only thing I can think of is Quick Revive but it's been in the map longer than the freeze and I haven't changed it in any way.. ???

I've had a similar issue when adding the random solo starting character. Did you add that to your map?

Yes, but I'm pretty sure I added the wait that you mentioned on that topic...but I will double check anyway

I did make the timer too long (caused a dumb delay when buying perks), and make sure the wait timer is at the top

Code Snippet

Plaintext

get_player_index(player)
{
    wait 0.05;
    assert( IsPlayer( player ) );
    assert( IsDefined( player.entity_num ) );
    
    players = get_players();
    
    if(players.size == 1)
    return player.entity_num_randomized;
    else
    return player.entity_num;
    
}

Did you possibly call a function instead of threading it? A function that may run for the time of your delay, or is infinite and times out, and then get back to business?
Example:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

self myfunction();
//versuses
self thread myfunction();

myfunction(){
    while(1){
        iprintln("This never stops");
        wait(.1);
    }
}
