Hi,

I started to write some scripts for myself. Some work really good, some need some tweaking and so on. But with this script FPSCR simply freeze. There is no error or anything! Can someone help me?

The script is designed to count upwards if the player is in the zone.

+ Code Snippet

-- LUA Script - precede every function and global member with lowercase name of script + '_main'
-- Player Enters Zone Countdown Start

function plrcount_init(e)
  a=0
  n=0
end

function plrcount_main(e)
 if g_Entity[e]['plrinzone']==1 and a==0 then
  StartTimer(e)
  a=1
 end
 
 while g_Entity[e]['plrinzone']==1 do
    if GetTimer(e) >= n*1000 and GetTimer(e) < n*1000+1000 then
          PromptDuration("Seconds:" .. n,1000)
    end
   n=n+1
  end
  
 if g_Entity[e]['plrinzone']==0 and a==1 then
   a=0
 end
end

Thanks

My dream is to develope games, which makes fun when I create it and fun when other people play it.

yep it will do as you are using a while that doesnt end or have any delay - best not to use whiles really, in this case an if will do fine.

@Hi all,

It's just a little tip: if you need to use the 'While do' loop (control structure), inside the main loop function, you should use the keyword 'break' before the 'end', closing the 'while loop', for example:

while c
