Started a new map recently, and I am that type of person that wants to remove those SRE's even in developer (as you got from my last thread about this lol), since my knowledge has increased I can fix most them no problem, but this one is bugging me.
If you want the script it's a stock _zombiemode_spawner.gsc, mine did have modifications by me for Harry perks, but they made no difference, since a stock file does the same thing.
From what I've gathered overflow = too much? I would appreciate help, as I do need developer 1/2 for other debugging, etc.
Was going to tell you to post your code but the function but then i looked at the function and realised that Treyarch called the same function inside itself.
Can? Sure. Should they have in this instance? No, because it doesn't help in any shape or form. If the spawner isn't targeted by a blocker then it won't magically be true when you call the function again.
I recommend complete removing this:
Code Snippet
Plaintext
result = is_spawner_targeted_by_blocker( targeters[i] ); if( result ) { return true; }
Edit: just to clarify, the reason this is happening all of a sudden is probably because a spawner is being targeted by an entity that isn't a blocker.

That is the issue. Its a bad recursive call because of Treyarch's shitty logic. The function knows that the spawner is being targeted by something but it isn't a blocker so it does a recursive call, which then repeats again and again until it causes a runtime error.
Script instance 1(first call): Spawner is targeted by something, not a debris, run logic again(recursive call)
Script instance 2: Spawner is targeted by something, not a debris, run logic again(recursive call)
Script instance 3: Spawner is targeted by something, not a debris, run logic again(recursive call)
Script instance 4: Spawner is targeted by something, not a debris, run logic again(recursive call)
etc. Its a never ending spiral of shitty logic by Treyarch.

The function is not called on the same entity every time. The first call is on the entity; the second, on one of the entity targeters; the third, on one of the targeters' targerters; etc.

Nope. The targetname, how the function gets the array of entities, of the ent would be the same, so its actually getting the same array of entities every time.
I'll try removing that, in the off chance it works, however if it doesn't work, how much of an effect would this have on the map? Like I said I only get that error with developer 1/2 enabled, but if it doesn't effect normal game (which I haven't seen a major effect, but I don't want to release only for there to be issues) then I can debug any other scripts in another small map which doesn't give the error.

Let's say the initial ent has targetname - A, so in this line targeters is getting the array of entities that are targeting "A". I mean, it's getting all the ents with the KVP target - A because "A" is the targetname of the first entity. Then, unless one entity is targeting itself, it should be aright. Hope I explained it clearly.
