Errors from deleted entity.

[Shoopdawhoop3]

Hello,

I've created some scripts that allow a user to write some code, have it compiled into a script and put in a sandboxed fenv, however the issue is when the user codes in a timer.

For example: user codes in a looping timer that constantly moves a box on the screen, the box is moved with a function tied to an entity, when the entity is removed; the function is also removed, so now I have sandboxed code, trying to run a function that does not exist anymore (because the entity was deleted), my question is; is there a way I can stop these errors from appearing if the entity was to be released, sure it could be coded into the users code; but I don't want to trust the player all the time.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Check the entity they're using is still valid before executing the function.

Or use this hook to manage their timers: [url]https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/EntityRemoved[/url]

Thanks for the reply :D

I managed to sort something out before I saw your post, basically just pcall'd it in another function

local safecall = function() pcall(finalfunc) end
