| Summary | 0010484: New script command: RepeatWhenFinished | ||||
| Description | I have several immediate uses for this, so if it's not difficult to implement, I'm anxious to have it! The following is copied from emails. Zack: Ever since you created AllowsNormalGameplay, I've had many awesome ideas where I would like such a script to call itself after all other lines complete. (There already exists a Call command.) Such events would be easy to implement and give the game vast amounts of personality and new puzzle scenarios. However, I haven't tried this because I don't know if the previous instances of that script are released from memory. Would I be causing a whirlpool that drains the game's resources, or can I have the same sequence run over and over again until the player leaves the current sublevel? Chris: Actually that wouldn't really work, because the script would literally be calling the same object, and thus it would just wind up looping infinitely on the call script itself. This isn't something that is easily avoided with the current scripting model; however, if what you're looking for is a script that really just plays through one time, finishes, and then restarts rather than just stopping, I could add a condition for scripts that would let you turn that sort of thing on. Is that what you have in mind? Zack: Ah, it sounds like the script would keep trying to run even if you exited the sublevel. Yes, that would be an incredible condition to have! | ||||

* Added a new "thus far untested" script condition: REPEATWHENFINISHED ** When this script has finished running, it will start right over and run again. New compiled version 631 with this and the other change. |
|
|
I tried it, but nothing happens. There's no error and only one iteration of the script. |
|
|
I really need some sort of testbed for these sort of reports if possible. |
|
|
Oh -- sorry! I forgot to say that it's the single script in Ganan Fields, Main. (I don't intend for it to occur there permanently. It is just an experiment.) |

|
Wow that is so incredibly cool! * Fixed the bug with RepeatWhenFinished not working. |

:D |
