I'm trying to make a timed event happen in a room i set the thimer like this>>>
function room_Load()
{
SetTimer(1, 3);
}
Then for when it expires i have thisin the room script>>>
function repeatedly_execute(){
if (IsTimerExpired(1) == 1) {
Display("Timer 1 expired");
}
}
i think its the repeatedly_execute function not working because i tried just doing things like
function repeatedly_execute(){
Display("EXECUTE DAMNIT");
}
And nothing happens?
Anyone got any ideas? ???
You need to create an event; just creating a function with the name "repeatedly_execute() won't do it. Edit the room (not the room script), you should see the room's background. In the properties window there is a button with a lightning bolt icon. Click on this and you shpould see a list of reoom events. Repeatedly execute is on the list. Click in the field. Clkick on the ... button to get the default name and open the room script.
Thnx man i appreciate it ;D i had the same problem with a couple things i needed repeatedly execute for (cheers)'
In every script except room scripts it's not necessary to create an event handler and link it this way. Rooms are just special. ;)
