Thi is my script:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

gamemode_load()
{
	iprintln("^7text goes here");
  for(;;)
 {
	self waittill("zom_kill");
	 iprintln("test");
	//self thread maps\_zombiemode_name::main();
 }
}

the purpose of this script is to do another script when you kill a zombie, but when i kill a zbag, nothing happens. I commented out the actual script to test and see if it was that script, but it wont even say anything if i kill a zombie
This is how i call it:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

players = getplayers();
	for(i=0;i<players.size;i++)
	players[i] thread gamemode_load();

PS: i asked my friend about it and he says it should function perfectly, but it doesnt and we dont know whats wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think "zom_kill" is defined in any of the zombiemode scripts. and because it isn't defined it won't work, so your scripts pausing at that place and doesn't get to your test message.

ah crap i meant notify not define but same thing, your scripts waiting for a notify that isn't set.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

level notify("zom_kill");

You need to place this somewhere where the _zombiemode scripts tracks when a zombie dies (atleast i assume you want your script to run everytime a zombie dies)

_zombiemode_score tracks when a zombie dies for scoring, maybe you can add it there?

Code Snippet

Plaintext

		case "death":
			points = level.zombie_vars["zombie_score_kill"]; 
			points += player_add_points_kill_bonus( mod, hit_location );
			if(IsDefined(self.kill_tracker))
			{
				self.kill_tracker++;
			}
			else
			{
				self.kill_tracker = 1;
			}

a notify called "zom_kill" does already exist within the _zombiemode_spawner.gsc script. Call it on a player and it will wait until that player kills a zombie. No need to re-define the notify.

Because you probably are calling it before the game starts, call it after the game state line. I just tested exactly what you posted and it works fine for me.
