Hi there all

I had a fully working drowning and no-prone script for COD 1.

Now I need to port it to COD2

however, it doesn't work,

The line in BOLD is where I get an Script Compile Error ( Uninitilised Variable 'looper' )

Any help on what this means and how to cure it, also if anyone sees any further bugs relating to COD2 in this script, I would appreciate the heads up.

Cheers.

Like I said this worked fantastic in COD, just hope We can get it to work for COD2.

i MIGHT be mistaken... but try this line instead:

looper = spawn("script_model", (self.origin));

CoD2 requires you to explicitly declare variables and because the first instance of "looper" appears in an IF statment it's not explicit meaning it might never be defined. So just add:

looper = undifined;

at the top of the method outside the WHILE loop and that should fix that particular error.
