my server players are complaining that their game freeze whem they try to execute a looped alias like this :

alias disco "sm_light 255 0 0;wait 100;sm_light 0 255 0;wait 100;sm_light 0 0 255;wait 100;repeat"
alias repeat "wait 100;disco"
bind F12 disco

when they try to execute the disco command their game freeze and they have to restart their whole computer to get back into their operating system.

i tried myself to diagnostic the cause of the freeze, i moved my plugins folder to another place as a backup and i installed a fresh copy of sourcemod 1.11 with only the base plugins and the freeze still happens, then i started to disable the base plugins one by one to see which one is causing the freeze.

i found that basecommands is the plugin resposible of that freeze. when i disable it, the above disco loop alias works as intented without any freezes..

at first sight i thought that maybe there is a settings in sourcemod that prevent clients from executing multiple command at once, but i didnt find any config or cvar that is related to the delay between the commands that a client can execute, except that one located in sourcemod.cfg which is related to anti-flood :

sm_flood_time 0.75

i tried to change it to 0 but it doesnt make any change, the client game still freeze.

i dont want to disapoint my server players with the bad news that they cant use disco light anymore,because it is working in other servers and also it works before in my server a long time ago but i dont remember what sourcemod version or build i waas using at that time
if there is anything i can do or should i just pass the bad news

maybe is some issue with logging actions, if the commands are logged to a file, it may become big or frequently updated causing "lag".

in the binding command example, your clients are calling sm_light running around 10x per second.

also should be better adding the "disco" option as a plugin feature instead.

I'd say you have the value sv_allow_wait_command 0. This at least will cause infinite stack recursion with looping scripts.

What game? Some games have the wait command forcefully disabled like CSGO iirc. Depending on what the command does you can just rewrite the plugin logic to be automatic server-side

i just searched for the disco plugin and it looks good, i might use it as a solution. thank you
