(Question) How to unattach script from itself?

[Rinart73]

When I'm trying to do something like this in script that I attached earlier:

-- MyScript
function initialize()
    local entity = Entity()
    if someCondition then
        entity:removeScript(pathToMyScript)
    end
end

server just crashes with error "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION".

 

So.. how to removeScript from itself?

just use terminate() instead ... it sets the script to invalid and removes it automagically on the next ocassion!

Thanks, I just found it myself in the API Reference :)

(I probably shouldn't create so many threads..)

i ran into this crash too when i was trying to be crafty and have a script reload its own source lol.
