I have a loop that starts running when the map is loaded (map autorun), the script loops while a specific tag is off, and I have a step on NPC that sets that tag on and terminates the loop. An indentical NPC shares the tile with every door on the map, the idea was to terminate the autorun loop, so it wouldn't pile-up under the loop for the next map, but it doesn't work, because it appears to read the NPC, then the door, then the last "final" tick of the loop once it has reached the next map. Where it is terminated.

If that map has an autorun script of it's own, it never gets to the last tick, and the old code never closes properly. It still functions fine, but if the player created enough dead scripts, I figure the game will lock up.

Does anyone know a good way to fix this? I need the script to terminate instantly or between maps, as opposed to what is is doing now, terminating 1 click into the next map (or not at all if another loop autoruns on the next map). I plan on using this script for several maps, so I'd prefer to avoid coordinate specific or map specific commands, or anything that would have to be massproduced, unless I absolutely have to.

here is a code example:

I messed around with this script a while longer, I found out that if a text box is right before it, it will create a delay, and also it works fairly well triggering it with a touchable NPC placed next to the entrances (chasing) instead of an autorun loop. Both of these methods work, but are kinda mickey-moused, so if anyone has a cleaner method, I'd love to hear it.

James replied to a similar request in your post in the hamsterspeak suggestion thread; try that.

break, and exit script I believe it was.

is there some kinda updated plotscript dictionary or hamsterspeak specification I can use for converting my code to work in the nightly? I have been using the current stable build, which is really old at this point, the only thing I can think of is to use the readme to figure out all the changes in syntax, which sounds like hell on earth. I'm am not sure which commands need to be changed, I know alot (if not all) of the define commands are broken now, so if there's some kinda reference to help with the conversions, that would be awesome. I apologize if the answer is obvious, it just seems there are alot of official OHR sites, which gets confusing. Thanks for the help, I'm excited for the transfer as this will fix all of my current known bugs.
