I'm looking for some help working out an issue with my SF script stalling. I've been writing a blindside script for my Thief which includes the following section:

melee:
put hide
match backstab Roundtime
match melee …wait
matchwait

The section is set up to run after my character closes to melee. After doing so he hides and either goes on to back stab the target or attempts to hide again. 99% of the time it runs start to finish without issue. Around once every 10 or 15 minutes the script executes the "hide" command and my character will successfully hide with a Roundtime: 6 sec. but then the script stalls and won't continue. It doesn't actually terminate or give an error. It just stops running right at that point. Nothing seems to be able to fix it. The repair also seems times based as I've tried logging out and back in, restarting the script, making sure no other events or text is happening etc. Other times I've just walked away for a few minutes and come back. Regardless of what I try it just seems like the script will "fix" itself after a couple of minutes and run fine again for another 10 or 15. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Sauva,

Thank you for your suggestion. I made the structural change to all of my arguments and may have discovered the cause while testing them. I ran into a new stall point when the script tells my character to skin the target. The script stalled twice and I noticed it happened when the target decayed away between the script telling my character to skin the target and the actual execution. The text is below:

advance rat
The ship's rat is already quite dead.
>skin rat
A ship's rat decays away.
>
You can't skin something that's not dead!

Even though I have a trigger set to handle the event "A ship's rat decays away." the script stalled. I'm guessing it's because the target of the original command disappeared and SF couldn't handle transitioning to a new one in the middle of executing the action.
