How to use pick up items in your title packs

[steeffeen]

i have no idea why it's happening but sometimes items stop working properly on a server
it happened on an ingame match and also on a dedicated server

after many hours of fine matches with the same pickup item all of sudden it stops working

on server launch the item id is retrieved

Code: Select all

ItemId = ItemList_Add("Object.Item.gbx");

and on map begin there are the needed objects created with this ItemId

Code: Select all

ObjectDestroyAll();
for (Index, 1, 1) {
	declare Object = ObjectCreate(ItemId);
}

why is this happening?

(sorry for the rage on the screenshot xD)

Do you see any chance to reproduce it, perhaps to show the count of the items, or a history of the ItemId?
Could it be some kind of stack (or memory allocation) overflow?

[steeffeen]

well there is no history for ItemId because it never changes, it's retrieved on server start and that's it
i can't really reproduce it because it seems to happen randomly

[TMarc]

and what about the index?
I presume the Index is increasing with every new item.
How many items do you have on the map btw.?
Anything related to usual known IT array boundaries?

@TMarc
that's the syntax of a usual for loop in maniascript

Code: Select all

for (Index, 1, 1)

just means it's only executed once (from 1 to 1)
(one-time loop because there might be more items in the future while currently there is only max 1 object available all the time)

Btw, steeffeen, this is my map and I think that it's only happening on it

Ah, ok, I originally did not think it was that simple and that close to regular for loops like c or perl

nope, it also happens on other maps ^.^

Okay

To use items in a game mode you have to create a TitlePack with a custom mode script.
First you must load the items you want to use at the beginning of your script.

Code: Select all

ItemList_Begin();
declare ArmorId = ItemList_Add("SMCommon\\Pickups\\Armor.Item.gbx");
declare RocketId = ItemList_Add("SMCommon\\Pickups\\Rocket.Item.gbx");
declare LaserId = ItemList_Add("SMCommon\\Pickups\\Laser.Item.gbx");
declare NucleusId = ItemList_Add("SMCommon\\Pickups\\Nucleus.Item.gbx");
declare ArrowId = ItemList_Add("SMCommon\\Pickups\\Arrow.Item.gbx");
ItemList_End();

I did what it has been said in this quote, but whenever I try to open a server with my script I get this:
