Weapon freezes game. Help!

Post by Gunsym »

So I've been working on a weapon and every time I test it out it freezes the game. It's every time that I try to equip it. If anyone knows anything about that let me know!

Thanks!

Without being able to see your code, the one thing I can think of is your state durations. Does the Ready state have at least one tic of length?

Maybe your rise/ready states are with 0 tics, this happened with me before
(example: TNT1 A 0 A_WeaponReady/A_Raise)
Try changing the rotations to 1 if so
(TNT1 A 1 A_WeaponReady/A_Raise)

A select state with a zero-length A_Raise loop should just instantly go to Ready, shouldn't it?

(but yeah, there's no way to solve a problem like this without seeing the actual code causing it - however obvious it is once seen, while unseen it could be anywhere)
