A weapon that i made has a game braking bug...

[Melonpizza]

hello, while i was making a replacment for the plasmagun, i stumbled across a problem.

when it goes to ready (not exactly, but still..) it creates big lag (90% from 25gb of ram in 15 seconds), and therefore i thought you guys can help me.

This is the weapon with its nessesary components, if needed:

(the "fire" state is a nightmare, but you will undersdand it if you code in decorate)

My guess:

At end of Bowlfire1:

GFTL B 0 a_overlay(-3,"bowlfirebubble",false)
wait

You have "wait" after a 0 duration frame.

Wait does repeat that frame, and since it has duration 0, game will probably get infinitely stuck here.

You need to set that frame duration to higher number, or change the "wait" to something else.

One more thing, the transprency thing isnt working (pspf_renderstyle aswell as a_overlayrenderstyle are shown as plain text in slade)

PTBR B 0 a_overlayflags(-4,pspf_addweapon,true)

GFTL B 0 a_overlayrenderstyle(-2,STYLE_Translucent)
