timeout, for, callnpc

[nyghtGT]

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:

---

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

0.075 is longer then 0.05

isn't callnpc a little laggy as well?

You cannot 'beat' the 20fps thing.

You can try until you're an old man, you still won't get Graal to run any faster than 20fps.

Can I get a cookie for trying?

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

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

*****! 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 =/

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.

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

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...

[Saga2001]

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...
