waitUntil + or

[TemichSablin 10]

So basically i need to make a script that releases once any of the three conditions is met. The code below doesn't work and produces no errors, just like the biki says.

Something like

waitUntil {(mtask1override) or (!(alive pmcsuv)) or (timerdone)};

if the override is on, or the pmcsuv is destroyed, or the time runs out, the waitUntil releases.

Try this:

waitUntil {((mtask1override) or (!(alive pmcsuv)) or (timerdone))};

try:

waitUntil {(mtask1override or !alive pmcsuv or timerdone)};

else just do a while loop

while {true} do {
  if (mtask1override) then {false};
  if (!alive pmcsuv) then {false};
  if (timerdone) then {false};
  sleep 1;  // checks all conditions every second, adjust downwards to fex 0.1 for faster response
};

You have to define the variables first, otherwise waitUntil acts up if it has multiple conditions.

The parentheses in waitUntil are all unnecessary unless you want to bundle certain conditions in the same parentheses. They're required only when the normal sequence would mess with what you want the commands to take into account. and and or always cut the sequence.

For example:

The value of _this select 1 is 1.

100+_this select 1 returns 101.

_this select 1+100 gives an error because the select command waits until 1+100 is calculated and supposedly the _this array doesn't have 102 elements.

(_this select 1)+100 returns 101 again.

while {mt1st} do {
  if (mtask1override) then {mt1st = false};
  if (!alive pmcsuv) then {mt1st = false};
  hint "mission1";
  if (timerdone) then {mt1st = false};
  sleep 1;  // checks all conditions every second, adjust downwards to fex 0.1 for faster response
};

this worked with mt1st being defined before. thanks to everyone

Hi,

Well, that is far from a good solution.

That could be easily converted to:

waitUntil { sleep 1; (mtask1override || (!alive _pmcsuv) || timerDone) };

Or just waitUntil {mtask1override or !alive _pmcsuv or timerDone};

This checks every frame - which is most likely not necessary.
