Title: Undefined is not an array, string, or vector
Post by: Bigbeard2000 on May 13, 2019, 09:00:30 am

I am getting a weird error message in my console after I build my map.

Console Text

******* script runtime error *******
undefined is not an array, string, or vector: (file 'common_scripts/utility.gsc', line 463)
while( !level.flag )
*
Error: called from:
(file 'maps/_zombiemode_firstroom_sealer.gsc', line 92)
flag_wait("all_players_connected");
*
Error: called from:
(file 'maps/_zombiemode_firstroom_sealer.gsc', line 7)
thread sealDoors();
*
Error: called from:

maps\_zombiemode_firstroom_sealer::main(); // inits first room challenge
*
Error: started from:
(file 'maps/house.gsc', line 9)
main()
*

For some reason it looks like level.flag isn't initialized, but I don't know how this would be possible considered that it should be initialized within the official scripts, as opposed to my own. I assume this means that

Code Snippet

Plaintext

flag_init() // found within raw\commom_scripts\utility.gsc

is never called for some reason. I am trying to revive an old map of mine so I am a little rusty.

Try to run it without developer

I have seen the same suggestion on other posts, but I don't really think that fixes that problem (more like just ignoring it). If possible I would really like to find out what is causing the problem and fixing it, so that I don't have to leave developer mode to further develop my map.

From what I see the script is not recognized in maps/_zombiemode_firstroom_sealer.gsc

Have you tried to add:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

#include common_scripts\utility;

at the top of the script?

It shouldn't be happening on a new script placer map.
//
That error comes from using a command like
flag_wait "all_players_connected" before
flag_init "all_players_connected"
If you have developer 1, developer_script 1, and logfile it should tell you the exact file and line the flag is called from.

All of my scripts that use flag_wait have:

#include common_scripts\utility;

Where would I call flag_init "all_players_connected". I would assume the system would do this because I assume that the system is the one that sets the all_players_connected flag when the game starts.

I think I see the problem.
Go to maps/house.gsc and scroll down to line 122.
There you will see this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

maps\_zombiemode_firstroom_sealer::main();

I think that should be placed under this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

maps\_zombiemode::main();

	maps\_soul_chest::PreCache_soul_chest();
	thread maps\dw_fx::init();

	maps\_zombiemode::main();

gympie is probably correct and your calling a custom script with a flag_wait in it before the flag is defined. Moving it under zombiemode or load would ensure that the flag was defined.

Yep that did the trick. Thank you very much
