Having trouble making a script that gives the player Unlimited sprint on player spawn.

[Xerxes]

You have to call your function on the player entity. Like welcome.

[Unfunny_Umi]

Xerxes Thank you. Could you give me an example?

[Resxt]

Unfunny_Umi "like welcome" so just do the same
In code there is always two steps:

• Declaring a piece of code to make it available
• Calling that piece of code (function) to actually use it

Right now you're declaring the unlimited_sprint function, it exists, but it is never called/used on any entity.
It just sits there but it's never used. Declaring a function doesn't do anything more than making it available.

You added thread unlimited_sprint() but you don't thread on any object.
You need to call the function on something (the level, a player etc.)

So move this below player thread welcome() like Xerxes said.

for (;;)
{
    level waittill("connecting", player);
    player thread welcome();
    player thread unlimited_sprint();
}

This way you are saying "when a player connects thread the unlimited_sprint function on him on that particular player

Resxt You guys are the best. Genuinely, thank you so much.
I got it working! Much Love!

Unfunny_Umi hey I've tried using your script but it did not work here is the script can you tell if it's correct I
have no experience with coding

init()
{
thread unlimited_sprint();
for (;;)
{
level waittill("connecting", player);
player thread welcome();
player thread unlimited_sprint();
}
}

unlimited_sprint()
{
self waittill("spawned_player");
self setperk("specialty_unlimitedsprint");
}
welcome()

{
self endon("disconnect");
self waittill("spawned_player");

}

Eleven111 the guy was asking for help coz his script didn't work so copy pasting it will obviously not work. Read the answers

[Eleven111]

Resxt I understand but you helped him with the code and he said it worked for him that's why I was asking him about it, because I tried using the code and I added that correct code that u mentioned and still did not work. any help would be appreciated

[Resxt]

Eleven111 the code you've shown does not contain the modified code

[Eleven111]

would you please help with the code. I'm illiterate when it comes to coding

[Deicide]

Eleven111 I myself was confused from the jump as to how OP got the beginning code he posted. Most .gsc contain three main functions and they call like such.

init()
{
    level thread onPlayerConnect();
}

onPlayerConnect()
{
    for(;;)
    {
        level waittill("connected", player); //waits until you are connected to the server, before you spawn in.
        player thread onPlayerSpawned();
    }
}

onPlayerSpawned()
{
    self endon("disconnect");
    level endon("game_ended");
    for(;;)
    {
        self waittill("spawned_player"); //anything after this happens after you spawn in. You cannot set perks on a player that is not spawned in yet.
    }
}

Simply set the perk after said player spawns in. That's really where your problem lies.
