scheduleevent

Hey guys, been playing with scripting lately and noticed scheduleevent. I've read the descriptions on the wiki, but it doesn't seem to come to me. It would be awesome if someone could write a quick example using scheduleevent in action :D

Sure

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated()
{

  this.var = "foo";
  scheduleEvent( 3, "change", "bar");
  onTimeout();

}

function onTimeout()
{

  this.chat = this.foo;

  setTimer( 0.05);

}

function onChange( temp.var)
{

  this.foo = temp.var;

  if ( temp.var == "bar")
    scheduleEvent( 3, "change", "baz");

}

When created it will show 'foo' for three seconds then 'bar', then after another three seconds 'baz'. ScheduleEvent does not interupt the current script, which can come in very handy when using a timeout loop.

scheduleEvent just waits x number of seconds to do something.

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated() {
  this.scheduleEvent(5, "onMyEvent", null); // the last parameter isn't needed on v6 and above, or on serverside
}

function onMyEvent() {
  echo("event!");
}

"event!" would be echoed 5 seconds after the script ran.

e: also, MrOmega, you should avoid using variables with the name 'var' as they don't work on clientside (might just be this.var, I don't remember) due to some stupid Flash thing Stefan implemented. Avoiding the use of it altogether is best to avoid confusion.

I know, just my bad, just using a random variable name in general, although that is good advice for beggining scripters.

Also, what are some past accounts? You're very wise and knowledgable about gScript2, so I assume you do.

Well you act a lot like an old scripting teacher/friend of mine from AE. :rolleyes:

Been starting to think more and more that he's Chris Vimes who magically stopped posting around the same time as this fellow showed up. :asleep:

I was thinking Invern, but I can see it being Chris too.

I'd say that THIS post proves that it's Chris, not to mention how he's using him as example in more or less every post. :asleep:
