script wait for 2 conditions

[falconx1 13]

How can i change this script to continue only after waves_east < AIWaveCount and time is greater than SetupTime var

i originaly made it to function different but now i want to give players a chance to have time to buy gear save it etc before the AI waves start coming

//SetupTime would be based on seconds only.

SetupTime = (paramsArray select 5);
while {waves_east < AIWaveCount} do {

not sure but is this right?

SetupTime = (paramsArray select 5);
while {waves_east < AIWaveCount || time > SetupTime} do {

Have you ever thought to use the sleep command? (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/sleep) This will suspend the .sqf script in place then your script will continue.

yea but that would require more modding of other sqf pages in this case i believe its best to use time . is the bottom code i posted correct ?

I'm sure I had a problem with (<condition1> || <condition2>) before and I ended up changing it to (<condition1> || {<condition2>}) and I'm sure it started working, something to do with lazy evaluation, could anyone explain this easily?

|| is OR, you want &&.

Okay if you want to use time how will you get the time then? SetupTime variable can be set to what 120 for 2 minutes. But you want to see if the time is greater than SetupTime. The time command (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/time) only returns the number in seconds since the mission started so we can't use that. So maybe create a local variable that adds one to itself and then in your code check to see if that local variable is greater than SetupTime.

_time = 0
_time = _time + 1 ;

This will increase the variable by one every time but you will need a while or For loop to make _time increase itself.

The condition should look like this.

 while {waves_east < AIWaveCount && _time > SetupTime} do 
{
//Codes goes here
};
