Pickup Script

[nerdiiii]

Hello,

I'm trying to set up a Pickup script which made by IzNoGod and I'm getting the error

******* script runtime error *******
type undefined is not a vector: (file 'maps/mp/gametypes/_pickups.gsc', line 10)
    self.pickpoint=spawn("script_origin",self.origin);

The script:

		pickups()

    self endon("killed_player");
    self endon("spawned_player");
    self endon("spawned");
    picked=undefined;

            }
        }
        wait 0.05;
    }
} 
	

Any help? thanks

How do you actually call it in your script? E.g. player thread pickups();

[nerdiiii]

Hey kung! Thanks for replying!

I'm calling it from my SD.gsc like this

thread maps\mp\gametypes\_pickups::pickups();

[Polat]

thread dummy();
self thread pickups();

call it like this and should work, if not, try thread pickups();

[vanfreddy]

the code says self endon("spawned_player");
self endon("spawned");
so put it in the spawnplayer function and it should work "after the notify spawned/spawned_player is called
"

[Polat]

Or just self waittil("spawned_player");
