variable naming convention that lets me see at a glance what variables are when i have a bunch of similar ones - bad habit from gs1.
I'll break off of this if i can get arrays working >.<
In the old engine, variable names could contain periods, not sure in the new.
edit: and as for using sleep in a loop - I've come across a few situations where its necessary, such as a huge loop (10000+ loops).. if they exceed 10000, the script breaks, so add in a sleep every so many loops to ensure it works. I used this a script to see if the random function was a bell curve or flat (256000 iterations).. turns out to be remarkably flat ^ ^. In this instance I added it so I didn't get a 2-3 second bit of lag whenever I update the script, plus also i had a player.chat= for debugging, and I wanted to see what it said. |
