Hello,
so I just see technical errors with infinite loop glitch, what is the best troubleshooting method for finding the source?
I have custom dragon movement devices in the game + raycasting for movement, I assume one of these would be the cause, but I have no idea how to pinpoint that, any ideas?
Error:
Map code:
2601-9029-8468
do you have Sleep in that update loop?
Not in this one afaik, its movement based script, so it would probably cause lags.
Can you show your MoveTo loop ? I’m thinking you’re setting a negative duration inside the MoveTo somehow
You’re not expecting me to read this ? 
Thought it might be easier to just paste whole code to seach and in case of follow up questions.
This is the move loop:
MoveTheDragon(FC:fort_character)<suspends>:void =
MoveLimitSq := 2048.0 * 2048.0
loop:
Print("Dragon movement L00P")
Sleep(0.1)
if(IsActive?):
SaddlePos := TamableDragon.GetTransform().Translation
PlayerRot := FC.GetViewRotation()
var MoveVector : vector3 = vector3{X:=0.0, Y:=0.0, Z:=0.0}
# Calculate forward, right, and up vectors from the player's rotation
# Calculate forward and right vectors from the player's rotation
ForwardVector := PlayerRot.GetLocalForward()
RightVector := vector3{
X := ForwardVector.Y,
Y := -ForwardVector.X,
Z := 0.0
}
# Up vector, which points upwards in the Z direction
UpVector := vector3{
X := 0.0,
Y := 0.0,
Z := 1.0
}
# Down vector, which points downwards in the Z direction
DownVector := vector3{
X := 0.0,
Y := 0.0,
Z := -1.0
}
if(MovingForward?):
PitchedRotation := PlayerRot.ApplyPitch(32.0)
set MoveVector = PitchedRotation.GetLocalForward() * 512.0
if(MovingBack?):
set MoveVector = MoveVector + ForwardVector * -256.0
if(MovingLeft?):
set MoveVector = MoveVector + RightVector * 384.0
if(MovingRight?):
set MoveVector = MoveVector + RightVector * -384.0
if(MovingUp?):
set MoveVector = MoveVector + UpVector * 384.0
if(MovingDown?):
set MoveVector = MoveVector + UpVector * -384.0
var MovePos : vector3 = SaddlePos + MoveVector
var PathClear: logic = true
if(A := MaybeOwnerAgent?):
DragonForwardPos := SaddlePos - vector3{X:=0.0, Y:=0.0, Z:=500.0}
MaybeHitLoc := MorituriRaycastDevice.RayCastForAgent(A, transform{Translation:=DragonForwardPos, Rotation:=PlayerRot, Scale:=vector3{X:=1.0, Y:=1.0, Z:=1.0}})
if(HitLoc := MaybeHitLoc?):
set MaybeFireballHitsPosition = option{HitLoc}
DistSq := DistanceSquared(HitLoc, SaddlePos)
if(DistSq < MoveLimitSq):
set PathClear = false
else:
set MaybeFireballHitsPosition = false
if(PathClear?):
spawn{TamableDragon.MoveTo(MovePos, PlayerRot, Speed)}
if(A := MaybeOwnerAgent?):
FireballStartT := FirebreathRoot_Prop.GetTransform()
FireballForward := FireballStartT.Rotation.GetLocalForward()
FireballStart := FireballStartT.Translation + FireballForward * 500.0 + vector3{X:=0.0, Y:=0.0, Z:=200.0}
set MaybeFireballHitsPosition = MorituriRaycastDevice.RayCastForAgent(A, transform{Translation:=FireballStart, Rotation:=FireballStartT.Rotation, Scale:=vector3{X:=1.0, Y:=1.0, Z:=1.0}})
if(P := MaybeFirebreathVFX?):
var T : transform = FirebreathDamageZone.GetTransform()
spawn{P.MoveTo(T, Speed)}
else if(not IsActive?):
break
And this is the moveto / follow loop on pets:
pet_data := class<concrete>:
var CurrentProp : ?creative_prop = false
#var MaybeParent: ?custom_pet_device = false
StopSignal : event() = event(){}
#Init(Parent: custom_pet_device):void=
# set MaybeParent = option{Parent}
RunFollow(FortCharacter : fort_character, PropAsset : creative_prop_asset, Offset : vector3)<suspends>:void =
SpawnedProp := SpawnProp(PropAsset, FortCharacter.GetTransform())
PropInstance := SpawnedProp(0)
if ( Prop := PropInstance?, not CurrentProp?):
set CurrentProp = option{Prop}
race:
RunFollowInternal(FortCharacter, PropAsset, Offset)
StopSignal.Await()
RunFollowInternal(FortCharacter : fort_character, PropAsset : creative_prop_asset, Offset : vector3)<suspends> : void =
if ( Prop := CurrentProp?):
loop:
Transform := FortCharacter.GetTransform()
Rotation := Transform.Rotation
OffsetVector := Rotation.RotateVector(Offset)
GoalTranslation := Transform.Translation + OffsetVector
GoalRotation := Transform.Rotation
RotatedGoalRotation := GoalRotation
Direction := (GoalTranslation - Prop.GetTransform().Translation)*10.0
ForwardVelocityPoint := Direction + Prop.GetTransform().Translation
#if(Parent := MaybeParent?):
race:
Prop.MoveTo(ForwardVelocityPoint, GoalRotation, 3.0) #original was 3.0, and 0.3
Sleep(0.5)
StopFollow() : void =
StopSignal.Signal()
if(Prop := CurrentProp?):
Prop.Dispose()
set CurrentProp = false
I think it’s the pet one, maybe the MoveTo call gets canceled immediately if the target location is the same as the previous location for example, try to add a Sleep(0.0) atleast in your loop
I think this sleep part does that no?
#if(Parent := MaybeParent?):
race:
Prop.MoveTo(ForwardVelocityPoint, GoalRotation, 3.0) #original was 3.0, and 0.3
Sleep(0.5)
No, if MoveTo resolves instantly, then the Sleep() is canceled, that’s the purpose of race blocks
and then when your prop is already at target position there’s no sleep for the parent loop
Btw. Wouldn’t the “overtime” parameter as the 3rd argument of the MoveTo function force the MoveTo to atleast stall the thread execution for that amount of time?
I don’t think so, MoveTo can fail and get canceled as well, you just need to change your code
Do you think this should fix that?
pet_data := class<concrete>:
var CurrentProp : ?creative_prop = false
#var MaybeParent: ?custom_pet_device = false
StopSignal : event() = event(){}
#Init(Parent: custom_pet_device):void=

RunFollow(FortCharacter : fort_character, PropAsset : creative_prop_asset, Offset : vector3, MoveToTime : float , MoveInterruptTime : float)<suspends>:void =
SpawnedProp := SpawnProp(PropAsset, FortCharacter.GetTransform())
PropInstance := SpawnedProp(0)
if ( Prop := PropInstance?, not CurrentProp?):
set CurrentProp = option{Prop}
race:
RunFollowInternal(FortCharacter, PropAsset, Offset, MoveToTime, MoveInterruptTime)
StopSignal.Await()
RunFollowInternal(FortCharacter : fort_character, PropAsset : creative_prop_asset, Offset : vector3, MoveToTime : float , MoveInterruptTime : float)<suspends> : void =
if ( Prop := CurrentProp?):
sync:
Print("PET STARTED FOLLOWING PLAYER")
loop:
Transform := FortCharacter.GetTransform()
Rotation := Transform.Rotation
OffsetVector := Rotation.RotateVector(Offset)
GoalTranslation := Transform.Translation + OffsetVector
GoalRotation := Transform.Rotation
RotatedGoalRotation := GoalRotation
Direction := (GoalTranslation - Prop.GetTransform().Translation)*10.0
ForwardVelocityPoint := Direction + Prop.GetTransform().Translation
#if(Parent := MaybeParent?):
Sleep(0.01)
Print("Attempting to move pet to location: {ForwardVelocityPoint} with rotation: {GoalRotation}")
race:
Prop.MoveTo(ForwardVelocityPoint, GoalRotation, MoveToTime) #original was 3.0, and 0.3
Sleep(MoveInterruptTime)
StopSignal.Await()
StopFollow() : void =
StopSignal.Signal()
Print("Stop signal received")
if(Prop := CurrentProp?):
Prop.Dispose()
Print("Pet prop disposed")
set CurrentProp = false
Hopefully fixed even tho I would need more discovery time to know for sure.
