Very nice, thanks.
I noticed something in the script: Your functions pick1() and pick2() both thread your build() function, so essentially you have 2 of the same build() functions running in parallel, and build() won't break if you only have 1 part, because the first line wait's until the variable level.allParts equals 2.
Does this explain why some custom maps are playing the power up sound twice for players when you hit the power switch?
The way you have it set up is perfect, but instead of threading build() two times in the pick1() and pick2() functions, just thread build() once before pick1() & pick2() are threaded, and it will only execute once after the variable level.allParts= 2. Then of course remove the "thread build()" line from pick1() and pick2().
Maybe i'm reading it wrong or something, but just thought I would give some potentially helpful feedback. Thanks again, this is very useful.

You are correct, from what I see there is also no need to use a while loop inside the build function since waittill only needs to be called once and it will continue to wait.
I believe this was the first script he released so its safe to assume that it might have errors.

You're getting an unresolved variable, which probably means the .gsh file in which PAP_WEAPON_KNUCKLE_CRACK is defined isn't getting parsed or included somewhere. Or simply that PAP_WEAPON_KNUCKLE_CRACK isn't defined. In my script I did it differently, like this and in that script at the top I put I may be wrong, but good luck.

You are somewhat right, but the real reason is that he didn't follow the guide properly: (https://www.ugx-mods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F7jDn8xZ.png&hash=e7bbc41c810725c834cd91c80361fca552dd35c0)

That's cool, how did you crop that part of his tutorial in your reply?
