Script with while loop not working

[Holden93 12]

Hello there,

this is the script

while {speedTrouble == true} do
{
if(speed hunter > 50)
{
	jackson sideChat "Ray, I'm breaking radio silence, a bomb got triggered, leave the vehicle, now!";   
	sleep 3;
	bomb = "Bo_GBU12_LGB" createVehicle (getPos hunter);
}
}

Basically if the speed of the hunter is more than 50 I want a bomb to be created and the sidechat to show up, too bad nothing happens.

I tried with both speedTrouble = true and ==, still nothing.

Can you tell me what's wrong with it? Thanks.

couple of things.

first off, I'm not sure if while {speedtrouble == true} works, but since speedtrouble is a bolean, it's sufficient to just use while {speedtrouble}.

further, you are missing a then or exitwith after your if-condition. Last but not least, there might be a semicolon missing and it's a good idea to add a minimum of sleep to the loop itself. try this:

while {speedTrouble} do {
if(speed hunter > 50) exitwith {
	jackson sideChat "Ray, I'm breaking radio silence, a bomb got triggered, leave the vehicle, now!";   
	sleep 3;
	bomb = "Bo_GBU12_LGB" createVehicle (getPos hunter);
};
sleep 0.5;
}; 

I assume you want to exit that loop after triggering the bomb, if you would want to keep that loop running you would just replace the exitwith with a then
