   |
|
An odd thing started yesterday. No idea why.
I have a setup script coded to display some messages the first time its run and sets a global variable to true.
Second time its run, it sets the glabal variable to "DONE" and then does a set of messages and script calls.
Third time and after, its supposed to do nothing.
I added a new script to the 2nd run section yesterday, and now the 2nd section messages are sent every time you load, but the scripts are not being rerun.
Why would messages get continually resent when the rest of the code is obviously not being run ? (I can tell because they involve station creation and there are no duplicates).

Its these 3 messages that continually post when the game starts.

Ok, I found the problem.
It was Bounce. If you start bounce inside a setup script after sending player messages, the messages get repeated every time the game loads.
But when I changed it to call a controller script on the 3rd load, which sent a message, called bounce and then sent another message, it works as it should.
*begin rant* There is something seriously wrong somewhere in the game that an intensive process run with other tasks buggers things up like this. *end rant*
