GSC Timers

[Shadowfita]

Well I'm wondering how to make a timer for my mod for example...

if timer = 5
do this
else if timer = 10
do something else


I'm stumped at the moment but if anyone can help me that'd be awesome thanks

Code:

Init()
{
level thread Timer("timer1", 25);
level thread Effect();
}

Timer(name, time)
{
    for(level.timer[name]=time;level.timer[name]>0;level.timer[name]--)
    {
        wait 1;
    }
}

Effect()
{
    if(level.timer[timer1] > 15)
    {
        //dostuff
    }
}

Code:

Init()
{
level thread Timer("timer1", 25);
level thread Effect();
}

Timer(name, time)
{
    for(level.timer[name]=time;level.timer[name]>0;level.timer[name]--)
    {
        wait 1;
    }
}

Effect()
{
    if(level.timer[timer1] > 15)
    {
        //dostuff
    }
}

Thank you so so so much!

*edit*
I get an error;\

ERROR: script compile error
uninitialised variable 'timer1'

(see console for actual details)

I'm new to modding.-.

My bad

Code:

Init()
{
level thread Timer("timer1", 25);
level thread Effect();
}

Timer(name, time)
{
    for(level.timer[name]=time;level.timer[name]>0;level.timer[name]--)
    {
        wait 1;
    }
}

Effect()
{
    if(level.timer["timer1"] > 15)
    {
        //dostuff
    }
}

@AZUMIKKEL That isn't going to work, it's just going to exit the Effect function/sub straight away....

[AZUMIKKEL]

Of course it is, the effect thread is an example...

[Shadowfita]

Yes but to make it keep checking can't i just put wait 1; in the effect as well?

[AZUMIKKEL]

Code:

Effect()
{
for(;;)
{
    if(level.timer["timer1"] > 15)
    {
        //dostuff
    }
wait 0.5;
}
}

Every coding language 101..

[Shadowfita]

I was just making sure...

[AZUMIKKEL]

Yes
