Delay between useraction?

[KTM_Calle 0]

Hey

I have a few useractions coded into my config.cpp, how do i do to insert a delay of 10 seconds before you can use an action again, after the first time?

Code Snippet

class digin

{

displayName="Dig-in";

position="proxy:bmpcommander.01";

radius=2;

condition="this animationPhase ""skyffel"" >= 0.5 and player in this and speed this <= 10";

statement="[this, 1] exec ""\own_103\scripts\jordhog.sqs""";

};

I would do it something like this:

Create a function called RegisterAddon.sqf:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_MyAddon=_This Select 0;

_REGISTER_ADDON={(Format["%1",_AddonArray]=="scalar bool array string 0xfcffffef")};

If !(Format["%1",AddonArray]=="scalar bool array string 0xfcffffef") Then

{

_Found=False;

"If !(_Found) Then {If ((_x Select 0)==_MyAddon) Then {_Found=True}}" ForEach AddonArray;

If !(_Found) Then {AddonArray=AddonArray+[[_MyAddon,True]]};

}

Else

{

AddonArray=[[_MyAddon,True]];

GetAddonIndex=loadfile ("\MyAddon\GetAddonIndex.sqf");

};

And add this to your cpp:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">init="RegisterAddon=loadfile ""\MyAddon\RegisterAddon.sqf""; [(_This Select 0)] Call RegisterAddon";

Create another function called GetAddonIndex.sqf:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">private ["_x","_MyAddon","_index","_result"];

_MyAddon=_This select 0;

_Index=0;

_Result=-1;

{If ((_x Select 0)==_MyAddon) Then {_Result=_Index} Else {_Index=_Index+1}} ForEach AddonArray;

_Result

For your actions condition, include something like this in your cpp:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">condition="((AddonArray Select ([This] Call GetAddonIndex)) Select 1)";

Create a script called SetAddonStatus.sqs:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_MyAddon=_This Select 0

_Index=[_MyAddon] Call GetAddonIndex

(AddonArray Select _Index) Set [1,False]

~10

(AddonArray Select _Index) Set [1,True]

And in the Actions statement include this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">statement="[This] Exec ""\MyAddon\SetAddonStatus.sqs""";

This is cobbled together from my own Addon so dont be suprised if it contains syntax errors. There are a few things you have to bear in mind, but this is the bear bones of what your after.

Woah, that was a lot of code for a 10 second-delay

Thank you for the help, i'll try it out  

Edit: Incredible, it works! Thank you again very much Sgt_Wilson!

Yes it is a bit long winded, but once its done it can use for just about anything.

I forgot to update this bit:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">If !(Format["%1",AddonArray]=="scalar bool array string 0xfcffffef") Then

Using Format on an array can be a bit dodgy, if it gets to big and you try and format it, it can cause a CTD. I did mean to change it so it checks a boolean instead.

If you did not notice, you can get rid of this bit:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_REGISTER_ADDON={(Format["%1",_AddonArray]=="scalar bool array string 0xfcffffef")};

But glad it does the job
