restarting script

[Rukariox]

Hi,
just a small question
i want to let a script restart if its not done in 20 seconds.
so what function do i need to use?

o.O so you have already a script that will be thread and works?

with notify and endon it could be possible but not sure

Code: Select all

mainFunction()
{
   level endon ("restart_function");
   thread count (20);

   //Do stuff here

   level notify ("restart_function");
}

count(time)
{
   level endon ("restart_function");
   wait time;
   level notify ("restart_function");
}

loopFunctions()
{
   while(1)
   {
      thread mainFunction();
      level waittill ("restart_function");
   }
}

Simply thread "loopFunctions()" to start it working.

can you make a small script with it because i don't understand it.
im not really good in scripting

[Drofder2004]

Well, I can't think of a good reason to use the script personally, so maybe its best you just simply say what you are trying to do exactly.

i want to create a shooting game but if you don't finish you will have to start over.

Do you mean, like a shooting gallery/target practice?
Have you scripted this shooting game yet?

My advice would be to do the following, in this order:
- Create Map detail (ignore any scripted objects)
- Plan (and write down) exactly how you want the game to work (i.e moving objects, etc)
- Create each object in the map (scripted objects).
- Create a working code for the objects (without a timer)
- Implement a reset timer
