Code Snippet Plaintext Copy fizz_grab(owner, perk) { self endon("fizz_timedout"); self endon("fizz_player_bought_perk"); self endon("fizz_player_downed"); self endon("fizz_player_perk_limit_ran_out"); IPrintLn("looking for " + owner.playername); for(;;) { IPrintLn("chsdjfsiuhfajd"); self waittill("trigger", player); IPrintLn("chsdjfsiuhfajd"); if(!IsDefined(player)) { IPrintLn("activated but player is undefined"); continue; } IPrintLn("found " + player.playername); if(player == owner) { self notify("fizz_grabbed"); break; } } self thread fizz_give_perk(owner, perk); } [close]

What is self and is it defined?

Edit: defined = exist in the map.

self is the trigger (<trigger> thread fizz_grab(<player>, <perk>)

anyways it was the endons some how, i just changed it to endon on a reset notify sent after the player grabs, it times out, etc and it works now there must be a limit to the amount of endons you can have

If you show the function that is threading this function, and the part where you are waiting for the notify, I think this will get answered quicker. As well as the prints, which I assume if you say it is working, it would be something like:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

looking for playername
chsdjfsiuhfajd

//trigger

chsdjfsiuhfajd
found playername

i would add a print after the notify, and before the break to make sure that is running, but is seems as if it is, and dd's suspicion about self is the answer.

Edit, k, nevermind, while writing this you selected your answer.
