Author Topic: Looping Schedules in TS (Read 799 times)

TeeJay · January 16, 2013, 05:32:46 PM

Im looking to make these chat lines repeat occasionally, and also delay in between each one.

1. Am I doing this right? Its my first time with schedules.

2. If a "loop" is what I'm looking for, how would I do it?

Quote

function delayannounce()

{

schedule(1000, 0, "announce("You need to have 5 points to buy a gun! Use !buy for the menu!");");

schedule(3000, 0, "announce("We hope you guys are having fun, and thanks for joining!");");

schedule(5000, 0, "announce("Type !rtd and try your luck!");");

}

Not quite. First, %foo isn't defined. Second, announce isn't a method of any class. Third, you've got the syntax a bit wrong.

So, just remove %foo. all together. That leaves schedule(time, "function(parameters)"). This is still a bit wrong, you have to use a 0 as the second parameter and the function as the third, with the arguments for that function in following slots. So, correct would be schedule(time, 0, function, "message")

Edited the code, thanks.

I am now aware of how to, seeing as Yola told me over steam.

JazZ5109AI: function loop(%input) { schedule(500,0,loop,%input); //Do stuff here }
JazZ5109AI: Loop^

Code: [Select]

function loop(%input)
{
  if(PLEASEPUTACONDITIONHERE)
  {
    schedule(500,0,loop,%input);
    //Do stuff Here
  }
}

Don't hate me if I did something wrong. I am on my iPhone.

Code: [Select]

$pref::server::loopftime = 15; //set the server pref 'loopftime' to 15

function loopingFunct(%e) {                                   //define the function 'loopingFunct' with arguments '%e'
 loopingCodeA();                                                   //run function A (not defined)
 loopingCodeB();                                                   //run function B (not defined)
 %rnd = getRandom(0, 100);                                 //define a random number and apply it to %rnd
 if(%e) $lFsched = schedule(1000, 0, oneSecDelayedLC, %rnd); //if '%e' is not zero or false, run oneSecDelayedLC 
                                                                           //with the arguments %rnd after one second
 schedule($pref::server:loopftime * 1000, 0, loopingFunct, %e);
                                                                           //run loopingFunct again after the number of seconds in loopftime
}

function stopLoopingFunct() {
 cancel($lFsched);
}

function oneSecDelayedLC(%t) { //define function 'oneSecDelayedLC' with arguments '%t'
 talk("<color:00ccff>" @ %t); //say %t in cyan as Console in server chat
 echo(%t); //echo %t to the server console
}

Don't forget to cancel the loop in the loop function
