You could open a new thread in 'Generals', I guess, by linking this thread.

Any moderator, can you split and move this away?

Was there any specific reason for DWaitingCommand to be a DThinker?
The waiting commands could be stored in something like a TArray that would be iterated through in C_Ticker instead, that would solve the problem described here.

Waiting commands are stored in regular thinkers, so if the game isn't thinking, they can't do anything. And like regular thinkers, they also get destroyed when you move to a new map.

I'm not surprised. Since the playsim isn't running, neither is the game ticker.

[<1551-4343]'wait' doesn't work in console when there's intermission or just after the program is loaded

Original report from zandronum.
Try this in console in these situations:

Code: Select all

say blablabla;wait 35;say still blablabla
It'll display "blablabla" message but won't display "still blablabla" like in the game. It happens with the other commands, too. I tried to change mouse_sensitivity after 'wait' but didn't work.
