Showimg + NPC Weapon = Frozen Graal?

Xaviar · #1 12-30-2001, 06:44 AM

Ok, I'm kinda stumped on this one...anybody have any thoughts on why an NPC weapon, running on timeouts and showimging works perfectly fine offline, but causes graal to stop redrawing the screen online?
(non-p2p, but it shouldn't make a difference--NPC weapon)

Bad coding.

It works for me.

Well obviously bad coding =P, but I need more insight as to what exactly went wrong, as I don't want to rescript the whole 8k of it

Note to everyone: Don't script big stuff until you know what you're doing...It's a pain in the ass later =P

erm . it must be something else..
try checking wait for vertical blank in options.. or give us example and we try and see if it breaks

You'll need to give a better description of the problem if you want help. I can't think of any answer that would help you out unless I knew more about what's causing the problem.

Be happy you've only got 8K of script to fix. In no time you'll be rifling through 12K in a couple hours, and be very familiar with a 70K+ script.

A 70K script would be huge... what the hell would be tha long kyle... It would lag as hell also wouldn't it (unless it was linear and extreamly well done....)

It used to be over 80K...doesn't lag once it loads
