Code:
mob/proc/
        Mob_TimerTick()
        {
            Proc_DebugOutput("Mob_TimerTick() - [src]");
            Mob_SendServerTimeToClient();

            spawn(600)
            {
                Mob_TimerTick();
            }
        }


Problem description:
I've got a function which calls itself once every 60 seconds. If the user logs out, this looping function continues to run and src continues to appear valid. I thought I had this scenario covered by performing a del(src) at Logout() but the del(src) appears to be causing a crash. Maybe this looping function is related to this crash?

Regardless, I wanted to get some best practice feedback for how to handle an infinite loop and users logging out.

try putting it in client/Del()

while(src) instead of a recursive loop?

If src is remaining valid, and you can't delete the src in Logout(), perhaps check src.client/key.

Nope.
