*Before I start i'm not too educated in c++ or c so something basic like this is a problem for me*
I am trying to setup my perk in the _zombiemode_weapons.gsc file since it edits the box price.

This is the code I currently have in the treasure_chest_think function.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

boxUser = undefined;
BoxBoozeTrigger = GetEnt( "BoxBoozeTrig", "targetname" );
BoxBoozeTrigger waittill( "trigger", boxUser );
while( boxUser hasPerk( "specialty_gpsjammer" ) )
{
	cost = 700;
	self set_hint_string( self, "default_treasure_chest_" + 700 );
	self setCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );
}

However when I check if the player has the perk in a while loop I get an error saying cost is uninitialized, but when its in an if statement its fine.

boxUser = undefined;
BoxBoozeTrigger = GetEnt( "BoxBoozeTrig", "targetname" );
BoxBoozeTrigger waittill( "trigger", boxUser );
cost = 950;                                                      // also put it outside the loop / if statement
while( boxUser hasPerk( "specialty_gpsjammer" ) )          // If this is not true, cost wont be intialised
{
	cost = 700;
	self set_hint_string( self, "default_treasure_chest_" + 700 );
	self setCursorHint( "HINT_NOICON" );

        wait 0.1;                                       // Always put a wait in a while-loop, or the game will break the loop on launch ('potential infinite loop - killing thread' error )
}

Not sure if you need a while loop here? If the player has the perk, the function will basicly get stuck in the loop till the player loses the perk..

I've fixed it now, not entirely sure what my problem was but the reason I decided to add a while loop was because it was taking a while to update the first time one the player got the perk for some reason.

I'm doing it with just an if statement now and it seems to be working fine.

Looks like it was a one time thing.
