when i get into a battle im told this:
Infinite loop suspected--switching proc to background.
If it is not an infinite loop, either do 'set background=1' or set world.loop_checks=0.

i tried everything i can think of, but im a newbie, i need help. I dont know how to fix this.

The error is because its Continuassly doing somthing, by using The sleep() proc it should stop this error from occuring

put this at the start sleep(rand(1,5))

that should get rid of the error hopfully

Yeah that should do fine.

Wouldn't it be better to put spawn() instead? Also Lazyboy it would be best for you to put it somewhere in your battle system, considering that's when you're getting the error. It's probobly because you are calling some proc over and over again.

what do you mean? "that should do fine." that doesnt make any sense to me. i still dont know where to put the thing to stop the infinite loop

At the begining of The Code
Oh, wait. The code dosn't exist. Well, put it at the top of Your Code. Even though I don't know what good a sleep or a spawn would do.

Uh... I mean put spawn instead of sleep.

what error was that?

I don't think it would be an error. I just feel that useing spawn() for some reason is better them sleep. Sleep stops the entire code (which you sometimes want) while spawn stops whatever is indented in front of it. So I feel spawn is better :)

sleep() overflows the stack. spawn() doesn't.

It would make the infinite loop slower? Kind of like the difference between bleeding to death and getting your head crushed instantly.

what is spawning?

goto dreammaker help and look up spawn

In response to Lazyboy
can i use spawn and still be able to have random combat or do i have to have the enemies running around on the map?

.... the spawn() proc wont affect what you have coded there for it would still be the same and you wouldnt need your "Monsters" On the map running around

if the spawn() proc doesnt affect my coding wouldnt i still get the infinite loop when i get on a battle turf?

....Do you even know why the error is coming up or do you know what the Spawn() proc does? Search it up click on dream maker, press f1 and search for spawn() and read about what it does, that will fix the problem.
