Delay with out using ACTION_NEWLIST/APPEND

[Xplorer4x4]

Ok I want to set up a delay in a script but I can't see how do do it since I can;t see a way to use ACTION_* unless I maybe split these 3 lines in to a dummy command of itself. In which case, I think I can do but not sure this is the best route to go. Example code:

else if (vt.blah() == VT_BLAH){    if (vt.HasBlah(NULL))    vt.RemoveBlah();}

These are the three lines needing a delay. They will actually go in to a random choice variable so maybe it would be easier to add the delay in to int random = Math::rand()%3; for example?

What abiut using the PushActionWait(ACTION_APPEND, X.f);

Not sure its spelled the right way though

Anyway, the only way to create a delay in a command script? is through PushActionWait(ActionInsertMode mode_, float time_);. Do you want the vehicle to have a delay of 3 seconds before removing the object? But it would require you to use an ActionInsertMode anyway.

So..
 

else if (vt.blah() == VT_BLAH){    if (vt.HasBlah(NULL))int random = Math::rand()%3;            if (random == 0)vt.PushActionWait(ACTION_NEWLIST, 0.05f);    vt.RemoveBlah();if (random == 1)vt.PushActionWait(ACTION_NEWLIST, 1.05f);    vt.RemoveBlah();if (random == 3)vt.PushActionWait(ACTION_NEWLIST, 5.05f);    vt.RemoveBlah();}

Maybe something like this? Maybe I just cant my head around this and need to look at it in the AM lol.

Yes...something like that. So now you have 3 random delays before the vehicle is removed.
For context, what are using this script for?

That would be top secret information!

Haha....Anyway, hope that we were able to help you.

If a command isn't a PushAction, it won't be affected by a PushActionWait.

 

I suggest making a dummy command with "vt.RemoveBlah();" as its only function, and then PushActionExecute it after the Wait.

[itchboy]

Your right. vt.RemoveBlah(); is a function, not a push action. I guess he'll have to create a dummy script to go around that.

Thanks guys, I only got to thinking of making a dummy command after I started typing and it was late so i figured i would gather feedback on the best way to do it first.
