Hi people. I wanted to insert a timer delay into a script that simply
moves an object, reaches a point, waits a while, then continues to
move the object. This movement is ongoing through the level.
So I didn't want to mess up the game elsewhere.
Attempts to create a simple delay in the script has turned into a
complexity for some reason! lol

Can/ should I use the return. end call or might that work instead?
Thanks for any help.

-------- we check here for reach point and if so...
stoppoint[e] = 1 -------- point is reached
timecheck[e]= StartTimer(e)
end

if stoppoint[e] == 1 and GetTimer(e) > (timecheck[e] + 5000)) then
stoppoint[e] = 0
----- essentially continue with script

Don't think start timer returns a value so should probably look like this

----- essentially continue with script

All the StartTimer does is record the g_Time value in the g_Entity list .

All GetTimer does is return the differemce between g_Time and the stored value.

So you can just check g_Time yourself like this:


That example would simply wait 3 seconds before carrying on with the script when started.
In the 'do stuff' part simply set 'timer[ e] = nil' to trigger another 3 second wait.

Aha! Okay, maybe that's it! Hope so. Will check soon,
but been filling out piles of paperwork for too much
federal job applications!

Yes! Whew, what a day. Thanks guys.
Coming closer to gettin it.
