(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); How do I get the amount of entities currently spawned of one kind or in total to make sure a limit isn't exceeded? I'm having the problem of crashing the lobby with an error message when I spawn too many care packages or attack dogs. What would you suggest to make sure it doesn't happen? I'm looking for a You must login or register to view this content. and not something like "You can only call the function x times" so it's fine if older entities are deleted. Thanks

    shootRealDogs()

{

	self endon("disconnect");

	self endon("stopShootingDogs");



	while(true)

	{

		self waittill("weapon_fired");



		dog_spawner = getEnt("dog_spawner", "targetname");

		level.dog_abort = false;



		// No dog spawners

		if(!isDefined(dog_spawner))

		{

			return;

		}



		direction = self getPlayerAngles();

		direction_vec = anglesToForward(direction);

		eye = self GetEye();



		scale = 8000;

		direction_vec = (direction_vec[0] * scale, direction_vec[1] * scale, direction_vec[2] * scale);

		trace = bulletTrace(eye, eye + direction_vec, 0, undefined);



		nodes = getNodesInRadius(trace["position"], 256, 0, 128, "Path", ; 



		// No nodes found

		if (nodes.size == 0)

		{

			return;

		}

		

		node = getClosest(trace["position"], nodes);



		maps\mp\killstreaks\_dogs::dog_manager_spawn_dog(self, self.team, node, 5);

	}

}

    shootFakeCarePackages()

{

	self endon("death");

	level endon("game_ended");

    self endon("stopFakeCarePackageBullets");

	

    while(true)

    {

        self waittill ("weapon_fired");

        

        forward = self getTagOrigin("j_head");

        end = self thread vector_scal(anglestoforward(self getPlayerAngles()), 1000000);

        SPLOSIONlocation = BulletTrace( forward, end, 0, self )["position"];

                M = spawn("script_model",SPLOSIONlocation);

        M setModel("t6_wpn_supply_drop_ally");

    }

}



vector_scal(vec, scale)

{

	vec = (vec[0] * scale, vec[1] * scale, vec[2] * scale);

	return vec;

}

Edit:
Okay, I fixed the dog spawning issues

    maximumSpawnedDogs = 30; // Do not go higher



currentlySpawnedDogs = maps\mp\killstreaks\_dogs::dog_manager_get_dogs();



if(currentlySpawnedDogs.size == maximumSpawnedDogs)

{

	// Make sure we don't cause a spawning error

	currentlySpawnedDogs[0] delete();

}

I think it would be great actually that you wait 1 or 2 day before posting a thread in the help section in-case you find out yourself what you need.
Just like you did partially for this thread.

Exelo, I disagree. If I don't post anything, others who wonder the same will not be helped so I'm doing this as well for sharing my knowledge with the community. I could also wait and post this as a release, then nobody would complain. Besides, in programming terms, launching an additional thread (the community) besides a single thread (which is me) is more efficient. Especially since it most likely is of other people's interest as well lol.

look at my forge menu

You're allowed to ask questions, but please not five every day...

I'm fine with just 1 per day on average xD
