Getting sleep to work!

[Cain_ 10]

Im call this script from init.sqf, this script is also in sqf. When i run it I get an error saying

"Error Generic Error in expression

sleep 1.0"

What have i done wrong now?

team_score=0;


while {team_score<=180} do {

if (player distance fire_team_a<= 50) then {team_score=team_score+1;]};
hint "Team Score";
team_score=team_score+1;

sleep 1.0;
};

Do you call it with exec or execVM?

[Cain_ 10]

exec not execVM

with execVM I get the whole file as an error

Then not the sleep command is the problem but the rest of your script. sqf files requests execVM, exec is for .sqs scripts. With exec, the engine doesn't "know" the sleep command.

:EDITH:

Check the brackets.

Exec is for .sqs files, execVM is for .sqf files.

team_score=0;

while {team_score<=180} do 
{

  if ((player distance fire_team_a) <= 50) then 
 {
      team_score = team_score + 1;
      hint "Team Score";
  };

sleep 1;
};

You did the same kind of mixup in another thread (mixing sqf and sqs syntax and not starting them correctly), so here is something to learn from:

Cain, do yourself a favour and download squint - it would have told you about the extraneous square bracket in that last example before you'd even run the script.

I never could get it to run on my x64 system, says program is 32 bit. :confused:

jesus it works now :)

thanks!
