Little problem with wait - 11/23/12 13:26

Hey guys

Ive got a problem and stuck now over 2 days. I have a simple function in my game, and I call it to respawn people. When I call the wait(-10) or any other wait, the function is terminating itself o_0
So before wait is an error box, after it nothing happens. Yes, Im using proc_kill in my game, but just with function pointers and not in my netcode at all. Please help me

Code:

function net_respawnPlayer(var time, var id)
{
	createWeapon(id);
	
	wait(-time);
	
	pHealth[id] = 100;
	pPlayer[id].health = pHealth[id];
	enet_sendto(&(pPlayer[id].health), sizeof(int), BROADCAST);
.......

A negative number in wait indicates seconds.
Are you sure you have waited that many time seconds before taking the desicion that the functions never continues??
Are you sure that the value you to time is not something 100 or 1000 or so??
Did you try wait(-10); once??
Can you please give the arguments that you give to the function
An Example Working Code(Extract from my app):

Code:

PANEL * Splashscreen =
{
	bmap = SplashscreenImage;	
	alpha = 100;
	flags = TRANSLUCENT;
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
void VideoStartup ()
{
	video_mode = 10;
	video_screen = 1;
	mouse_mode = 4;
	master_vol = 100;	
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
int main ()
{
	VideoStartup ();
	wait_for(VideoStartup);
	var time = 5;

	wait(-t1ime);
	Splashscreen.scale_x = screen_size.x / bmap_width(SplashscreenImage) - 0.04;
	Splashscreen.scale_y = screen_size.y / bmap_height(SplashscreenImage);
	wait(-time);
	while(Splashscreen.alpha > 0)
	{
		Splashscreen.alpha -= 5;
		wait(0.01);	
	}
	reset(Splashscreen,SHOW);
	bmap_purge(SplashscreenImage);
	return 0;	
}

I just fixed this :|
It was a wrong set my-pointer, IDK why it paused my wait instruction.
And yeah, I was sure about the wait. I even tried wait(1) and it didnt work.
However now its working, thanks for your help

BTW: Someone has got a nice zombie model?

I don't understand what caused your function freeze in the middle of execution

The scheduler will automatically unschedule all functions which my pointer becomes NULL. That's why the wait never "returned".
