velocity, and scripts

[penguinman]

ok, thanks, i have it like this


@ (speed _man >0.1) : goto "loop"

but i get a unknown operator error,

the # is here

@ (speed _man >0.1)# : goto "loop"

thanks

@ is not an if statement.  It just stops the script until the condition is true.  So the follwoing should not give you an error

@ (speed _man >0.1)
goto "loop"

The script will wait at the @ statement until the condition is true.  Once it becomes true the script will continue running at the next line

or try;

?(speed _man) >0.1 : goto "loop"

[ACF]

?(speed _man) >0.1 : goto "loop"

It's not the same as an @ command. If/? won't hold the script, if speed _man < 0.1, the script will just continue, maybe exit, and the loop will break.

Code: [Select]

#loop
?(speed _man) >0.1 : goto "loop"
hint "The unit is stationary"
there you are, that wouldnt break

[ACF]

Er, yes...but we don't want to go to the original #loop until Speed _man > 0.1, so if we're insisting on a 'looped if'solution:

Code: [Select]

#checkloop
~1
?((speed _man) =< 0.1): Goto "checkloop"
hint "The unit is no longer substantially stationary"
goto "loop"It was also an unrestricted loop which is bad, lag-inducing practice; if we're trying to inform and educate (or be pedantic).

Code: [Select]

@ (speed _man >0.1)
goto "loop"does the job in a far simpler way.
