scripts

[SamuelDravis]

does anyone know how to make a loop in a script? i know some QBASIC and VisualBasic6. also, do scripts support IF..THEN statements or their equivalent?

thanks

i think it's just 'LOOP' at least in the language i programmed in..

 

what language are you programming in?

 

i programmed in a 'videogamecreatorprogram that used a language that combinded Basic with C++ (DIV)

 

BEGIN

 

IF BLABLA THEN JADA JADA:END

 

LOOP

ummm how bout reading the ICARUS manual Samuel?

 

here i shall quote it.

 

loop - is a simple command that allows you to execute a sequence of commands repeatedly. So instead of:

wait ( 3000 )

print ( ?Hello World!? )

wait ( 3000 )

print ( ?Hello World!? )

wait ( 3000 )

print ( ?Hello World!? )

wait ( 3000 )

print ( ?Hello World!? )

 

You could simply use:

 

Loop ( 4 )

{

wait ( 3000 )

print ( ?Hello World!? )

}

 

If you wish a loop to continue forever, put a ?-1? in the loop number.

 

Loop ( -1 )

{

wait ( 3000 )

print ( ?Hello World!? )

}

 

This will make these two commands repeat forever or until these commands are flushed.

i wanted to use it in my music_change1.05 script instead of all those cmds. does JK2 use basic, or is it something particular to JK2? thanks though, Joben and Erliko

[Joben]

sry then.

 

umm wait o_O

 

exactly how much shorter do you want than?

 

loop (X)

{

 

}

 

I dont realy know much about the scripting yet it seems mostly to be its own mini language., that structure right there looks like C but it might just be a common syntax thing i dont know any other languages at all.

Scripting in JK2 is sort of a pseudolanguage. You use predefined methods like "set" "seta" "sets" "bind" etc.

 

These are defined within the code, you are then passing arguments to these methods "command1; command2; commandN"

 

I don't really think there's a way to create a loop in a cfg file. I could be wrong though.
