[3.12] delay on the #ok command?
|
I've made a script that follows a path and tries to massacre a target in each room it enters, and if it cannot find any targets it continues on the path with the #ok command. The problem I have is that sometimes it sends two massacre commands in a row with no #ok in between, making it jump two rooms instead of one. Anyone have any ideas why? Here's the trigger I use to advance to the next room.
| Code: |
<trigger priority="5190" id="564">
<pattern>You can't seem to find your target to massacre</pattern>
<value>#ok
#wa 500
massacre @targets</value>
</trigger>

I think from what you've said that the problem is in a different section of your script. Specifically, in the part that sends a massacre command when you enter the room.

That's the only part that sends the massacre command. I realize now it wasn't clear but the 'm @targets' part is the massacre command. I'll edit my original post as well.

I'm not entirely sure about threading issues, I've never really had a reason to get into threading. I think this would be more likely to function correctly if you used an alarm type trigger, for example:
| Code: |
<trigger priority="5190" id="564">
<pattern>You can't seem to find your target to massacre</pattern>
<value>#ok
#alarm +0.5 {massacre @targets}</value>
</trigger> |

Definitely a threading issue. The #wait command causes this trigger to run in a separate thread, and you can have multiple instances of this trigger and other things running all at the same time.
I'm actually not comfortable with your method of using #ok for this. I would prefer to use #PAUSE and #STEP. But I suppose as long as you aren't using the mapper it's fine. |

I'm using #ok only because I've had tons of problems with #step. #ok was the only thing that I could use with some reliability. It was a while ago since I was experimenting around with them though, so I can't remember what problems I had exactly. Thanks for the tips guys, I'll start using #alarm from now on.
