conditional waitUntil?

[Taurus 20]

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

_i = 0; waitUntil {_i = _i + 1; _i >= 100};

Returns: GENERIC ERROR blabla...

i access the .sqf with

apa = [someUnit] call compile preprocessFile "wontWork.sqf";

also

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

_unit = _this;

waitUntil{alive _unit};

Wont work either.

I imagined the "waitUntil" to check

alive _unit == false,

try(wait) again...

alive _unit == true,

WOOT!

and then exec the rest of teh script...

using a .sqs instead

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

does halt the code

This is wrong. waitUntil works only in a script (asynchronous execution). You need to use not call, which is synchronous, but spawn or execVM.

This is VERY comforting to know that the developers looks into this forum

but, mr Suma

Description:

Suspend execution of function or SQF based script until condition is satisfied.

What am I missing?

I'll go for spawn then, as execVM should not be used on scripts that will be executed many times(as far as I've read on this forum)

afaik you can also use call, but not out of a sqs script. So calling a sqf containing waitUntil or sleep out of a sqf should not cause an error.
