Thanks, most likely never use it, but thanks anyways.

You forgot object schedules and how to use cancel(%sched);.

Code: [Select]

%obj.schedule(1000,delete);
No zero specifies it as an object schedule, it'll be automatically cancelled if the object is deleted.

I was just a begginer. I didn't have any idea what that second part was, so I just made it 0.
Also I was only using commandToServer and messageAll as tests.

Its probably not a good idea for a beginner to try and teach people how to do stuff.

[Club559]

But it works...

Yeah, it works, but there's plenty more to it that you don't understand yet. You're basically teaching it wrong.

You use the zero when you aren't using an object schedule.
The difference is:
schedule(time,0,command[,args]);
obj.schedule(time,command[,args]);
Ex:
schedule($GameTimeout,0,loadnextmission); (Not a real arg, and probably not a real command. This does loadnextmission(); after $GameTimeout miliseconds.)
%col.schedule(1000,kill); (Performs %col.kill(); after 1 second.)
