Well title says it all, anyone know what this function does (it can be found in _zombiemode_perks.gsc)

electric_perks_dialog()
{
	self endon ("warning_dialog");
	level endon("switch_flipped");
 
	timer = 0;
 
	while(1)
	{
		wait .5;
 
		players = get_players();
		for(i = 0; i < players.size; i++)
		{		
			dist = DistanceSquared(players[i].origin, self.origin);
 
			if(dist > 70 * 70)
			{
				timer = 0;
				continue;
			}
 
			if(dist < 70 * 70 && timer < 3)
			{
				wait .5;
				timer ++;
			}
 
			if(dist < 70 * 70 && timer == 3)
			{
				players[i] thread do_player_vo("vox_start", 5);	
				wait 3;				
 
				self notify("warning_dialog");
				IPrintLnBold("warning_given");
			}
		}
	}
}

Looks like an old function that warns the player to turn the power on. Probably used in verruckt/Shi No Numa/Some other test map.

Is there a sound alias vox_start in your map? If not that may be why.

But from the looks of it the code does the following:

-sets timer to 0 as the default value.

-if the player is less than 70 * 70(4900) units away, add one to the timer variable and if the timer variable is less than 3

-if the players is less than 70* 70 and the timer equals 3, play a vox, wait, send out a notify, and print something on the screen.

-if the player is farther away than 70 * 70 units then reset the timer variable to 0.

I see no reason why it wouldn't work, but the logic is a bit redundant.
