I solved the problem (with a bit help), so I thought I'd post the
solution in case anyone has a similar problem.
You must point to GetLocalPlayer() every paint (or think, in health's
case), or else the pointer becomes invalid (I think it may be a scope
issue). So by adding
if(!local){
local = C_BasePlayer::GetLocalPlayer();
m_fNewSpeed = 0;
}
else{
local = C_BasePlayer::GetLocalPlayer();
m_fNewSpeed = VectorLength(local->GetAbsVelocity());
}
to my paint() function, I retain the pointer, and it doesn't crash out.
Hope this helps someone :)
