Condensed Endless Loop...

[Googi]

NPC Code:

---

if (timeout){

  if (i=17){

    if (this.key5=true){

      this.key5=false;

      i=16;

      timeout=1;

    }

    else{

      this.key5=false;

      i=16;

      timeout=1;

    }

  }

}

---

Yes, I have tried changing i=17 to i==17 but it didn't work .

[Ningnong]

yes, well keep the i==17 in because thats the correct format. At least thats one problem solved. Also, you have:

if (this.key5=true) it should be if (this.key5==true)

like Falcor said, = is an assignment, == means equal to

eg
this.var = 5; // Makes this.var equal to 5

Also, heres an example of a very simple timeout loop that is stopped:

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if (playerenters){

  this.time = 100;

  this.on = 1;

  timeout = .05;

}



if (timeout && this.on == 1){

  this.time --;

 if (this.time<=0){

    this.on = 0;

  }

  timeout = .05;

}

---

I suggest using :

if (timeout && i == 17) { //thingys; }

last time i checked graal checks = and == in if/while/for statements as being equals, i always use == but i think = works as well, even though it is technically incorrect

[Ningnong]

kool :P

if (timeout&&i==17){

  if (this.key5==true){

    this.key5=false;

    timeout=1;

    i=16;

  }

  else{

    this.key5=false;

    timeout=1;

    i=16;

  }

}

, that's the script now. It still doesn't work though...

[Ningnong]

In the timeout loop, you set i to 16. SO the timeout loop could never start...I may be reading it wrong, but at a glance thats how it looks

w00t im a member now (not junior) <3

[CheeToS2]

it says &&i==17, meaning it has to be 17 in the first place, so you have to set that somewhere
(dunno if thats what ningnong meant or not, sorry if it was :X)

Starting the loop isn't the problem. Since that isn't the whole script, the problem is that the loop won't end.

[Ningnong]

hmm, why do you have

if (this.key5 == true) this.key5 = false ?

since the script is confusing, maybe you should explain in english what your trying to do, then I could whip you up an alternate script :P

[Googi]

Okay, at the time that this part of the script is executed...

this.key5 could be true or false.
i=17

[Falcor]

the timeout stops for me. *shrugs*

[Googi]

Falados, I'll send you the whole script whenever you get on AIM.

If you need a variable to be stored longer than the current "frame", you should use this. variables, because other scripts might use the variable as well and therefore mess up your script.

I tried that before using i.

I always use '==',works better for me.
