scripting problems

[Johannes Burock]

wanted to start a thread esp for this problems...

 

and the beginner is this one (this are my first steps in this area of mapping...so maybe it is very simple:

 

i have two movers, both fly along a nurbs kurve...with this script:

 

 

void movewisp1() [and a second one "movewisp2"...]

{

$mover_irrwisch1.time(49);

$mover_irrwisch1.decelTime(1);

$mover_irrwisch1.accelTime(1);

 

$mover_irrwisch1.startSpline($path_irrwisch_1_1);

sys.wait(49);

}

 

both should fly simultaneously, and this is the problem...

 

if i throw this two things in this one:

 

 

void main()

{

 

movewisp1();

movewisp2();

 

}

 

first the "1" fly and after that the second one...

 

i also tested to "call" both scripts with a trigger but with a trigger you can only call one script (right?). and to use one trigger to trigger 2 other trigger which "call" the one and the other is possible but unaesthetic for 10 movers...

 

so, how can i handle this problem in an easy way?

try this

 

 

void main()

{

 

movewisp1();

 

sys.wait(49); ///its time after that movewisp2 script run (if only i didn't making mistakes :>) )\\\

 

movewisp2();

 

}

{

 

movewisp1();

 

sys.wait(49); ///its time after that movewisp2 script run (if only i didn't making mistakes :>) )\\\

 

movewisp2();

 

}

 

 

 

but in this way the first one fly and after 49 sec the second one...but they should fly at once

hm,maybe you should set

 

$mover_irrwisch1.decelTime(1);

$mover_irrwisch1.accelTime(1);

 

 

to

 

$mover_irrwisch1.decelTime(0);

$mover_irrwisch1.accelTime(0);

 

 

in both "movewisp" scripts ?

 

i also tested to "call" both scripts with a trigger but with a trigger you can only call one script (right?). and to use one trigger to trigger 2 other trigger which "call" the one and the other is possible but unaesthetic for 10 movers...

 

You can run script via STIM and CONVERSATION system too

 

maybe you could do what you what by placing two triggers inside each other

 

first trig will call movewhisp1 and second trig will call movewhisp2 ...

 

 

[grayman]

void main()

{

 

thread movewisp1();

thread movewisp2();

}

[Johannes Burock]

void main()

{

 

thread movewisp1();

thread movewisp2();

}

 

thanks for that ...this works well

this command forcing script to run immediately ?

this command forcing script to run immediately ?

 

 

 

this say: start this and get to the next step without waiting until the end of the first step...

[Shadowhide]

it can be useful.thanks for explanation

Ah, the age old programming problem - how to make a sequential process simultaneous (there is another solution btw, but it probably isn't possible in tdm).
