**Scripts that contain #using_animtree( "animtree" ); will compile but crash upon loading**
**7. Scripts that contain #using_animtree( "animtree" ); will compile but crash upon loading**
Unfortunately, for certain scripts #using_animtree( "animtree" ); is required for the script to function so scripts containing it will crash on start/while running
There is a workaround using script names such as maps/mp/gametypes_zm/_globalentities and naming an extracted but not decompiled script
**8. You cannot use variable defined notifies/waittills**
EXAMPLE:
```
var = "connected";
level notify( var, player );
level waittill( var, player );
WILL COMPILE BUT
```
The notify/waittill won't work.
