scripting?

BlitzTorque

how do you use the schedule(); script?
and how do you end it...

Krash

If you need to schedule a function to run after a certain period of time, you could run something like:

%obj.timer = schedule(%timeinms,0,"functionname",%args,%moreargs);

and stop it before it completes with

cancel(%obj.timer);

BlitzTorque

what if im not using %obj.timer = schedule();

if i am just using schedule(blah, "functionblah", %blah);

would i just use cancel(schedule)?

Krash

If you knew the ID of the schedule, you could.
Of course you could set the schedule on a $global variable as well if you're not using it on some object or whatever.

i still cant get it to work... what am i doing wrong?
it works in which if you go outside the mission area it will kill you, but i cant get it to turn off...

maybe if i do $area instead of %mission?

and what is the second number for schedule(Timeinms, whatsthisfor, "function", %args, %otherargs);

     }
}
function lookforplayers(){
   for(%i=0;%i<ClientGroup.getCount();%i++){
      %client = ClientGroup.getObject(%i);
      //schedule(500, 0, "lookforplayers", %client);
      if(isObject(%client.player)){
         if(%client.outOfBounds){
            %client.player.scriptKill($DamageType::OutOfBounds);
            messageall('AdminForce', "\c3"@%client.namebase SPC "\c2walked stepped outside the safe-zone");
         }
      }
   }
   %mission.timer = schedule(500, 0, "lookforplayers");//schedule(500, 0, "lookforplayers");//, %client);
}

Krash

Well for starters, the %mission in your lookforplayers() function is undefined.
If all you want to do is make a regular schedule loop stop, all you had to do was stick something like "if (!$LockedArea) return;" at the top of the function you had looping.

It seems like you're taking the nasa route for something that would otherwise be just a simple add, sticking a bit in DefaultGame::leaveMissionArea

function DefaultGame::leaveMissionArea(%game, %playerData, %player)
     {
        if(%player.getState() $= "Dead")
     	  return;
        [b]if ($LockedArea) {
     	  %player.scriptKill($DamageType::OutOfBounds);
     	  messageall('AdminForce', "\c3"@%client.namebase SPC "\c2stepped outside the safe-zone.");
     	  return;
        }[/b]
        %player.client.outOfBounds = true;
        messageClient(%player.client, 'LeaveMissionArea', '\c1You left the mission area.~wfx/misc/warning_beep.wav');
     }

BlitzTorque

wow... i did all that for nothing... hahaha

BlitzTorque

i want to know something thought


i tried a $lockarea instead of $lockedarea but instead of putting if(!$lockarea) return;
i put if($lockarea = false) return; why didnt that work?

Krash

Your operator was wrong, you'd need to use == instead of =.

BlitzTorque

oh... lol thanks

gotta love logic and booleans
