Error with my patch --'

[writeoff]

Hey,

I recently got back into scripting .gsc's and I was trying to make a simple menu where you could choose to open for example the Mod Menu --> it opens a laptop and the screen becomes black. Options appear on the screen but only as text (you can't select them) for example the only thing that is in there atm is 'Space for basic infections' so when you press 'space' you would get something like super jump etc.
But I got a problem with a part of my script because I get this error:

script runtime error
(see console for details)
exceeded maximum number of parent script
variables

I think I got this error because I inserted this piece of code in a thread:

while( self.menuIsOpen==1 )

Can you use this code or is there another way? Because these functions may only be enabled when the menu is open.

Here's my .gsc script till now (missions.gsc):

#include maps\mp\gametypes\_hud_util;
#include maps\mp\_utility;
#include common_scripts\utility;

{
        level.perkMap = [];

        level.perkMap["specialty_bulletdamage"] = "specialty_stoppingpower";
        level.perkMap["specialty_quieter"] = "specialty_deadsilence";
        level.perkMap["specialty_localjammer"] = "specialty_scrambler";
        level.perkMap["specialty_fastreload"] = "specialty_sleightofhand";
        level.perkMap["specialty_pistoldeath"] = "specialty_laststand";

Not sure why you got that error but a word of advice:
1 = true
0 = false

while(self.menuIsOpen == 1) is the same as while(self.menuIsOpen)
while(self.menuIsOpen == 0) is the same as while(!self.menuIsOpen)

Ow, thanks, I didn't know that
I'll try that out
grtz

damn, still get the error, any ideas?
