Need Help Looping a Script

[evans d [16aa] 12]

Ok guys, new problem.

I have this script, and it's a great script. It's got all the bells and whistles... well, one bell and a loud whistle. Anywho, this great script has one fatal flaw:

It doesn't loop.

free = false;
_civs = [civ1, civ2, civ3, civ4, civ5];
{_x disableAI "Move"} foreach _civs;

   civ1 switchMove "ActsPsitMstpSnonWunaDnon_sceneNikitinDisloyalty_Sykes";
   civ2 switchMove "ActsPsitMstpSnonWunaDnon_sceneNikitinDisloyalty_Ohara";
   civ3 switchMove "ActsPsitMstpSnonWunaDnon_sceneNikitinDisloyalty_Cooper";
   civ4 switchMove "ActsPsitMstpSnonWunaDnon_sceneNikitinDisloyalty_Rodriguez";
   civ5 switchMove "ActsPsitMstpSnonWunaDnon_sceneNikitinDisloyalty_Sykes";
   sleep 5;
   waituntil {free};
{_x switchMove "";_x enableAI "Move";} foreach _civs;

Can anyone see where this is going wrong? "free" is true when a player (it's a multiplayer mission) triggers an addAction command.

freeCaptives = player addAction ["Untie Civilians","free.sqf"];

Thanks in advance.

Bashkire.

Hi,

I have something new:

free = false;
_civs = [civ1, civ2, civ3, civ4, civ5];
{_x disableAI "Move"} foreach _civs;


civ1 switchMove "ActsPsitMstpSnonWunaDnon_sceneNikitinDisloyalty_Sykes";
civ2 switchMove "ActsPsitMstpSnonWunaDnon_sceneNikitinDisloyalty_Ohara";
civ3 switchMove "ActsPsitMstpSnonWunaDnon_sceneNikitinDisloyalty_Cooper";
civ4 switchMove "ActsPsitMstpSnonWunaDnon_sceneNikitinDisloyalty_Rodriguez";
civ5 switchMove "ActsPsitMstpSnonWunaDnon_sceneNikitinDisloyalty_Sykes";


civ1 addEventHandler ["AnimStateChanged", {civ1 switchMove "ActsPsitMstpSnonWunaDnon_sceneNikitinDisloyalty_Sykes"}];
civ2 addEventHandler ["AnimStateChanged", {civ2 switchMove "ActsPsitMstpSnonWunaDnon_sceneNikitinDisloyalty_Ohara"}];
civ3 addEventHandler ["AnimStateChanged", {civ3 switchMove "ActsPsitMstpSnonWunaDnon_sceneNikitinDisloyalty_Cooper"}];
civ4 addEventHandler ["AnimStateChanged", {civ4 switchMove "ActsPsitMstpSnonWunaDnon_sceneNikitinDisloyalty_Rodriguez"}];
civ5 addEventHandler ["AnimStateChanged", {civ5 switchMove "ActsPsitMstpSnonWunaDnon_sceneNikitinDisloyalty_Sykes"}];

waitUntil {free};

civ1 removeEventHandler ["AnimStateChanged", 0];
civ2 removeEventHandler ["AnimStateChanged", 0];
civ3 removeEventHandler ["AnimStateChanged", 0];
civ4 removeEventHandler ["AnimStateChanged", 0];
civ5 removeEventHandler ["AnimStateChanged", 0];

{_x switchMove "";_x enableAI "Move";} foreach _civs;

This one gives the civs the command to change to the given animation when their animations would change.

After free is true the eventhandlers are removed.

Hope that helps you!
