(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The following code works but it freezes quickly when it is active. Can you tell why? I really don't get why some scripts have weird side-effects. I froze 3 times because of this so clearly it must be messed up somehow

    toggleStalking(player)

{

	self.stalking = booleanOpposite(self.stalking); // Custom helper function

	printToggleState("Stalking", self.stalking); // Custom helper function



	if(self.stalking)

	{

		self thread stalkPlayer(player);

	}

	else

	{

		self notify("stopStalking");

	}

}



stalkPlayer(player)

{

	self endon("disconnect");

	self endon("stopStalking");

	

	while(true)

	{

		if(isAlive(player))

		{

			ownOrigin = player.origin + (0, 0, 150);

			self setOrigin(ownOrigin);

		}



		wait 0.1;

	}

}

Instead of setting your own origin over and over again, you could always make a struct at the position over the players head and use playerlinkto to link yourself to the object. Then just have a script to move the object if the player isnt at the same spot.

That's a great suggestion but can you also assist with some code please? I also wrote a basic script below to illustrate the idea to make it easier for you but it's not complete I believe. Thank you

    stopStalkingPlayer()

{

	self notify("stopStalking");

	self unlink();

}



stalkPlayer(player)

{

	self endon("disconnect");

	self endon("stopStalking");



	stalkingPosition = spawn("script_model", getPlayerStalkingPosition(player));

	self setOrigin(stalkingPosition.origin);

	self linkTo(stalkingPosition);

	

	thread onPlayerSpawnedContinueStalking(player);

	

	while(true)

	{

		if(isAlive(player))

		{

			stalkingPosition moveTo(getPlayerStalkingPosition(player));

		}



		wait 0.1;

	}

}



getPlayerStalkingPosition(player)

{

	return player.origin + (0, 0, 100);

}



onPlayerSpawnedContinueStalking(player)

{

	self endon("disconnect");

	self endon("stopStalking");

	

	player waittill("spawned_player");

	wait 0.1;

	

	self setOrigin(getPlayerStalkingPosition(player));

}

I would set the player angles to match the angles of the person you are stalking. So that way they are looking forward.

Well, it didn't do anything:

    self setPlayerAngles(player.angles);

Maybe because of

    moveTo()

Anyway, I got the code working. It's nice but I'm not happy that I can't look down and shoot the stalked person. If anyone knows how to fix this, it would be great

    toggleStalking(player)

{

	self.stalking = booleanOpposite(self.stalking);

	printToggleState("Stalking", self.stalking);



	if(self.stalking)

	{

		self thread stalkPlayer(player);

	}

	else

	{

		stopStalkingPlayer();

	}

}



stopStalkingPlayer()

{

	self notify("stopStalking");

	self unlink();

}



stalkPlayer(player)

{

	self endon("disconnect");

	self endon("stopStalking");



	position = getPlayerStalkingPosition(player);

	stalkingPosition = spawn("script_model", position);

	self setOrigin(stalkingPosition.origin);

	

	thread onPlayerSpawnedContinueStalking(player);

	

	while(true)

	{

		if(isAlive(player))

		{

			self linkTo(stalkingPosition); // Preventing unlinking when dying

			position = getPlayerStalkingPosition(player);

			stalkingPosition moveTo(position, 0.01);

			// self setPlayerAngles(player.angles);

		}



		wait 0.1;

	}

}



getPlayerStalkingPosition(player)

{

	return player.origin + (0, 0, 100);

}



onPlayerSpawnedContinueStalking(player)

{

	self endon("disconnect");

	self endon("stopStalking");

	

	player waittill("spawned_player");

	wait 0.1;

	

	position = getPlayerStalkingPosition(player);

	self setOrigin(position);

}
