Ending my script when dammage = 0

[ADuke 1]

Howdy,

I am trying to end this script when the dammage of "cc" is equal to 0

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

#loop

cc switchmove "ActsPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon_Injured1"

~30

goto "loop"

if !((getdammage cc >= 0)) exit

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

I don't really know SQS too well, but it looks like it will never get beyond the loop because you have no way to exit it within the loop.  Try this:

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

#loop

cc switchMove "ActsPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon_Injured1"

~30

if !((getDammage cc >= 0)) exit

goto "loop"

If you wanted to use SQF, you'd do it like this:

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

while{getDammage cc >= 0}do

{

cc switchMove "ActsPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon_Injured1";

sleep 30;

};

I don't like sqs scripts, but what I have seen them I think it could be be put like:

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

#loop

cc switchMove "ActsPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon_Injured1"

~30

?( damage cc > 0 ) : goto "loop"

You had also a logical error in it. The test !(damage >= 0) is always false ,because damage returns a value between 0 and 1.

That works if don't have anything after that code. If you do you have to set the test like ?( damage cc == 0 ): exit

Thank you all for your replies, the following code successfully exits the script when CC's damage is at 0...

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

#loop

cc switchMove "ActsPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon_Injured1"

cc say "wounded"

~30

if !((getDammage cc >= 0)): exit

goto "loop"

But, it does generate an error message in game....

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

'if !((getDammage cc >= 0)) # : exit'

Error :: Type if, expected switch

Thanks again fro any help with this

EDIT======================

I changed the script to this...

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

#loop

cc switchMove "ActsPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon_Injured1"

cc say "wounded"

~30

?((getDammage cc >= 0)): exit

goto "loop"

and there was no error message, all is well.

SQF is far superior and easier to use if you just spend 5minutes with it.

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

while{damage cc > 0} do

{

cc switchMove "ActsPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon_Injured1";

cc say "wounded";

sleep 30;

};

Since Damage 0 is healthy and Damage 1 is dead

?((getDammage cc >= 0)): exit

will always be true.....

?((getDammage cc == 0)): exit

would be better as it only exits when the unit is repaired.

this way you can change ~30 to maybe a shorter time.....depending on the length on the switchMove animation.

You could also use alive:

SQF (recommended):

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

while {alive cc} do

{

cc switchMove "ActsPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon_Injured1";

cc say "wounded";

sleep 30;

};

SQS:

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

#loop

cc switchMove "ActsPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon_Injured1"

cc say "wounded"

~30

?(not alive cc): exit

goto "loop"

using alive will make the guy play the move all the time, becuz even if he is damaged or not he is alive.

Thanks for all of your replies,

The script as it is now works for what I wanted it to do, it loops an injured animation (character writhing on the ground holding his stomach) I had to loop it because it ends after about 30 seconds. I also added an audio file using the say command, it makes him groan and grunt in pain.

I set the parameters for exiting the script to when he is healed (healing is triggered by the player being in a trigger area). I would like to exit the script when he dies as well (using a boolean "or" statement) because as it is now, if he is killed by OPFOR his dead body continues animating, I would appreciate any suggestions on how to get that done.

It may be better to exit the script when a variable is reached, that way he has to be healed by a medic when he exits the animation and sound, and is not healed automatically.

Eager to hear suggestions, thanks again

Indeed, but that's what Duke wants in this case

ADuke:

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

CC_healed = false; //can be declared elsewhere

while {(alive cc) && !(CC_healed)} do

{

cc switchMove "ActsPpneMstpSnonWnonDnon_Injured1";

cc say "wounded";

sleep 30;

};

Once the unit is healed set CC_healed to true (can be done from anywhere - global var).
