script question

[Sled88 0]

Hi folks,

I got a problem. How do I disable a started loop-script? is there any way to "destroy" the loop script when the player enters a trigger?

example of my script:

_object1 = _this select 0

_light = "#lightpoint" createVehicle getpos anom1;

_light setLightBrightness .40;

_light setLightAmbient[1.0, 1.0, 1.0];

_light setLightColor[6.0, 1.0, 1.0];

_light lightAttachObject [_object1, [0,0,0]];

#loop

anom1 setpos getpos al

lightpoint setpos getpos anom1

~0.02

anom1 setpos getpos al_1

lightpoint setpos getpos anom1

~0.02

anom1 setpos getpos al_2

lightpoint setpos getpos anom1

~0.02

anom1 setpos getpos al_3

lightpoint setpos getpos anom1

~0.02

anom1 setpos getpos al_4

lightpoint setpos getpos anom1

~0.02

anom1 setpos getpos al_5

lightpoint setpos getpos anom1

~0.02

anom1 setpos getpos al_6

lightpoint setpos getpos anom1

I think you could group the trigger (called say trig1) to the player for activation and then put

? (triggeractivated trig1) : goto "end"

before the loop in the script, and at the end of the script put

#end

exit

Sorry if this isn't right, I'm not at my Arma machine to test :)

Okay try this.

I haven't tested it but it should work.

in the OnActivation of the given trigger put:

SkipLoop = True;

private ["_object1","_light","_array","_count","_select"];

if (isNil "SkipLoop") then {SkipLoop = False};

_object1 = _this select 0;

_light = "#lightpoint" createVehicle getpos anom1;

_light setLightBrightness .40;

_light setLightAmbient[1.0, 1.0, 1.0];

_light setLightColor[6.0, 1.0, 1.0];

_light lightAttachObject [_object1, [0,0,0] ];

_array = [al, al_1, al_2, al_3, al_4, al_5, al_6, al_7, al_8, al_9, al_10, al_11, al_12, al_13, al_14, al_15, al_16, al_17, al_18, al_19];

_count = 0;

while { (True) } do
{
_select = (_array select _count);

anom1 setpos getpos _select;
lightpoint setpos getpos anom1;

if (SkipLoop) exitWith {};

sleep 0.02;

_count = _count + 1;

if (_count >= count _array) then {_count = 0};
};

Note: This is .sqf so you need to execute the script with "execVM" instead of "exec".
