timeout, for, callnpc
 

Can anyone enlighten me why these NPCs will not work:

NPC Code:

---

// Number One

if (created||playerenters) {

  timeout=0.05;

}

if (timeout) {

  do3();

  do2();

  sleep 0.05;

  seteffect 1,0,0,0;

  timeout=0.05;

}



// FUNCTIONS

function do3() {

  for (i=0;i<npcscount;i++) {

    callnpc i,dothree;

  }

}

function do2() {

  for (i=0;i<npcscount;i++) {

    callnpc i,dotwo;

  }

}

---

NPC Code:

---

// Number Two

if (dotwo) {

  sleep 0.075;

  seteffect 0,1,0,0;

}

---

NPC Code:

---

// Number Three

if (dothree) {

  sleep 0.1;

  seteffect 0,0,1,0;

}

---

It's basically to beat that 20fps thing.

Um...not sure but....i think you have to change this

NPC Code:

---

// Number Two

if (dotwo) {

sleep 0.075;

  seteffect 0,1,0,0;

}

i dont think graal can sleep that high...0.05 is its min...im almost posotive

Re: Re: timeout, for, callnpc
 

0.075 is longer then 0.05

isn't callnpc a little laggy as well?

Can I get a cookie for trying?

Cookies are cookies...

Congradulations.....
I think:rolleyes:

I have never seen any of those things after editing my posts here... I am really confused.

it just depends on how long after the post it shows up, depending on what you set it to

-FooL-

I did this and I thought I saw Blue and Red going. Not sure though... too fast x.x

NPC Code:

---

NPC1:

if (playerenters){

sleep .05;

timeout=.05;

}

if (timeout){

this.show=1-this.show;

if (this.show=1)seteffect 0,1,0,0;

else seteffect 0,0,0,0;

timeout=.05;

}



NPC2:

if (playerenters){

sleep .06;

timeout=.05;

}

if (timeout){

this.show=1-this.show;

if (this.show=1)seteffect 1,0,0,0;

else seteffect 0,0,0,0;

timeout=.05;

}



NPC3:

if (playerenters){

sleep .07;

timeout=.05;

}

if (timeout){

this.show=1-this.show;

if (this.show=1)seteffect 1,0,0,0;

else seteffect 0,0,0,0;

timeout=.05;

}

Ech I have a headache now from all the flashy lights. And it seems to run just slightly faster than a timeout=.05 flashing "HI!" message NPC.

Ugh. This is worse than pokemon. I'm stopping now. x.x

Kai's Right, 20FPS is it
 

*****! 0.075 probably won't work because it uses 3 decimals. I think Graal can only handle 2! Heh, and You can't beat the system unless you re-program Graal =/
What is the purpose of the more than 20 frames per second??
The human eye can not distinguish many frames quickly =/

Re: Kai's Right, 20FPS is it
 

So, 0.07000000000 wont work?

What you are trying to say is you don't think decimals in the degree of thousandths won't work. But I think they do.

Re: Re: Kai's Right, 20FPS is it
 

lol, why did you include so many extra zero's when .07 is the same thing, lol

Re: Re: Re: Kai's Right, 20FPS is it
 

He was saying 3 digit decimals will not work...

So I pointed out the fact that they do work and any amount of decimal should work, just not for timeouts...

Well as Kai so KEENLY pointed out. You cannot beat the 20fps...period. So don't sweat it. I wish you could too. However the amount of decimils in a timeout or a sleep do not matter...however as you get further into the sleep it just becomes pointless because:
sleep .05;
is the same as:
sleep .051;

so no biggie...
