self waittill variable

[mirc00]

Hey,

sorry for all my questions that came up these days. But i run into another problem. Is it possible to check if a variable name is pressed?

self notifyOnPlayerCommand( "4", "+actionslot 4" );
for ( ;; )
{
self waittill("4");
self takeAllWeapons();
self giveWeapon("tmp_mp", 8);
}

Here it checks if you press 4. But is it possible to check if you pressed "+actionslot 4"? I tried the following, but nothing worked:

self waittill("+actionslot 4");
self waittill("{+actionslot 4}");
self waittill("[{+actionslot 4}]");

greets

Self thread doSomething();

doSomething() 
{ 
   self endon("disconnect"); 
   self endon("death"); 
    
   self notifyOnPlayerCommand( "4", "+actionslot 4" ); 

   while( 1 ) 
   { 
           self takeAllWeapons();
           self giveWeapon("tmp_mp", 8)
           wait 0.05; 
   } 
}

Self thread doSomething();

doSomething() 
{ 
   self endon("disconnect"); 
   self endon("death"); 
    
   self notifyOnPlayerCommand( "4", "+actionslot 4" ); 

   while( 1 ) 
   { 
           self takeAllWeapons();
           self giveWeapon("tmp_mp", 8)
           wait 0.05; 
   } 
}

Don't you miss the. self waittill("4"); ?

doSomething() 
{ 
   self endon("disconnect"); 
   self endon("death"); 
    
   self notifyOnPlayerCommand( "4", "+actionslot 4" ); 

   while( 1 ) 
   { 
self waittill("4");
           self takeAllWeapons();
           self giveWeapon("tmp_mp", 8)
           wait 0.05; 
   } 
}

Well, fast told:

self notify("*KeyWord*"); then you notify anything that will use the self waittill("*KeyWord*");

And above we use a press action to notify.

You can also use like,

if(self.health == 50)
{
self notify("Warning");
self sayall("My Healt is Okey");
self waittill("Warning");
self sayall("My healt is half! Help me!");
}

So you maybe understand how it works now?

PS: *KeyWord* = The word or what ever you want to be the Key to the Locked door. It have to be the same as it notifys and waittills

I think i understood.

Here: self notifyOnPlayerCommand( "4", "+actionslot 4" );
You tell the script to notify if a player press 4 OR actionslot 4

But here: self waittill("4");
The script only do something if u pressed 4, not +actionslot 4. Or do i get something wrong?

@cgallagher21

Well, I also quited GSC, but still I remember the most. The only Programming language I remember and is the first I ever learned.
And I am to lazy to learn a new. Maybe it's to advance for me?
Well, atleast you tryd to be nice
And that is what counts

Good Job

(PS: What was your problem with the menu maker? I would like a screen shot or so.)

..guys my question isn't solved at all. What do i have to write, that waittill works with "+actionslot 4"

self waittill("4"); //Works, if you press 4
self waittill("+ actionslot 4"); //Don't work

I just want that the script wait for +actionslot 4, not the key "4"

The +actionslot is always refered to a key,

self notifyOnPlayerCommand( "4", "+actionslot 4" );

Here what you assign is a random notify name(4) to the moment in which you press the key that you have assigned to the action +actionslot 4.

It will notify:

self notify("4");

This is another example, that when you press the key which assigns the action +actionslot 4 will do this:

self notify("HappyUnicorn");

self notifyOnPlayerCommand( "HappyUnicorn", "+actionslot 4" );

Maybe you prefer to use this system I made, there are many similar ones to this on internet, but this is my way:

Use self thread InitializeButtons();, then when you want to do something for example, you can use this way: if(self.ButtonClicked["Key4"]), this is just an example. Use the ButtonName to the key

InitializeButtons()
{
    self.buttonName = [];
    self.buttonName[0]="Key5";
    self.buttonName[1]="KeyN";
    self.buttonName[2]="KeyF";
    self.buttonName[3]="KeyW";
    self.buttonName[4]="KeyA";
    self.buttonName[5]="KeyS";

The self waittill 4 isnt just 4 its just a number u can even write 10000.
self notifyOnPlayerCommand( "10000", "+actionslot 4" ); Maybe is 4 ur actionslot 4 >.>?
Edit: And Yamato was faster xD
