Gamemode causes add-ons to be loaded infinitely

[Treynolds416]

I've been trying to package a small gamemode, and for some reason when I start it, the "Loading Add-Ons" stage of loading repeats itself infinitely

gamemode.txt attatched, console looks like this:

One of your mods is probably modifying the local variable %i in the global scope.

One of your mods is probably modifying the local variable %i in the global scope.

Sure enough, that was the problem. I didn't know not to use %i outside of a function scope because it doesn't affect regular loading, just that within a specific gamemode

[Greek2me]

it doesn't affect regular loading, just that within a specific gamemode

It does. It affect client and server add-on loading.

[Port]

Rule of thumb: Never use the % character outside of a function.
It can even crash dedicated servers when using exec from a console entry.

It does. It affect client and server add-on loading.

Only for those who also use local variables outside their scope. I mean it doesn't affect default loading as far as I can tell

Now I know

[Zeblote]

Only for those who also use local variables outside their scope. I mean it doesn't affect default loading as far as I can tell

It does, because appearantly %i is used to set which add-on is loaded.

To see this, create a useless add-on called something line client_blah with client.cs containing echo(%i);, and another useless add-on called client_blahblah with the same client.cs.

%i will be one higher for the second loaded add-on.

[Greek2me]

If only there were a way to discover what the rest of those variables in the loading function are...

[Swollow]

If only there were a way to discover what the rest of those variables in the loading function are...

call trinick or computermix

[Advanced Bot]

Just make a function and at the end of the function call it.

That's what I did because this happened to me a few times.

[Treynolds416]

Just make a function and at the end of the function call it.

That's what I did because this happened to me a few times.

Or just change it to an isolated global variable

Rule of thumb: Never use the % character outside of a function.
It can even crash dedicated servers when using exec from a console entry.
