While with If/Then

[jcae2798 132]

Sorry i know this was probably posted before, but searching didnt exactly give me the answer i need.

 

My script is below.  It is working, but what it is not doing is running through the If/Then on every loop.

 

So for example, i want it to loop every 25 seconds, and after those 25 seconds, i want to restart the If/Then checks.  However it seems to only check the condition at start and replay the same code over and over every sleep command.  Thoughts?  Hopefully i made sense and clear enough

_FAR = player distance BROTHER > 5000;
_MID = player distance BROTHER == 2500;  //Shouldnt matter as long as its between FAR and NEAR
_NEAR = player distance BROTHER < 2000;


while {alive player} do {
Sleep 25;

If (_FAR) then
{
playSound "LongRange";
hint 'LongRange';
	
	} else {
		if (_NEAR)then {playSound "ShortRange"; hint 'ShortRange';} else {playSound "MidRange"; hint 'MidRange';};
		
		};

};

Move the top section INSIDE your 'while loop' so it knows what you are referring to each loop.

LOL.  i knew it.  Something silly...  :)

 

Thanks man!

hey,

 

you could do this with a switch instead of if evalutaion

 

so you only have to make 1 evaluation each cycle and compare them with the values

 

greetings :-)

cthulhu616 is right, try this

switch (true) do {
    case ((player distance BROTHER)>5000): {
        playSound "LongRange";
        hint "LongRange";
    };
    case ((player distance BROTHER)>2450) && ((player distance BROTHER)<2550): {
        //code..
    };
};

Interesting....i'll give this a whirl.  I assume this will improve performance (even though for this script it might be minimal...)

 

Thanks again guys,always helpful

might be minimal for this, but now you know that there are other ways for evaluation aswell ;-)

 

btw... instead of

switch (true) do {
    case ((player distance BROTHER)>5000): {
        playSound "LongRange";
        hint "LongRange";
    };
    case ((player distance BROTHER)>2450) && ((player distance BROTHER)<2550): {
        //code..
    };
};

 you could also do this:

_distance= player distance BROTHER

switch (true) do {
    case (_distance>5000): {
        playSound "LongRange";
        hint "LongRange";
    };
    case (_distance>2450) && ((player distance BROTHER)<2550): {
        //code..
    };
};

so you only have to use that distance command once :-)

 

 

PS: It's all about being lazy :D
