| Hi, I am a newbie.
I want to know:

Or maybe I should ask what`s the refresh frequency of a
trigger?
2.Can we make a timer in lua?
3.I want to do: print"hello",wait(sleep,delay) 1 second,print"ok",wait 1 second,print" " ,wait,...... just like this.
who can help me programing in lua?

1. I think there must be something always keep watch on a trigger, just like event. So I want to konw the refresh rate or refresh frequency or Hz or FPS.
2,3. I am a newbie, so I wish to do that in "pure" lua.
I hope that the maximum granularity of the timers is 0.01 seconds in the next version so I can make a small game in the window. | | Top |

| See: http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/doc.php?general=plugin_callbacks
In particular: OnPluginTick
This is designed to let you do something frequently (25 times a second). That would let you have a frame rate of 25.

Triggers are called when an incoming line arrives from the MUD. There is no particular "scan" time. |

As a newbie you should probably use the way suggested by someone who has many years of experience.

| | Yes, the advertised rate may not be met, as processing timers is a low priority. |

Thank you.That is so important and useful to me.
I try to use this function, I can start it, but I don't know how to stop and control it. So I need more help. | | Top |

I use the code for simulating a ball jumping and jumping, but I don't konw how to stop the function OnPluginTick().
We can use "break" to stop "for" loop or "while" loop, and I want to konw if there is a command or method to stop the function. | | Top |

| You are looking at this the wrong way around. If a function is designed to be called 25 times a second, you don't stop it doing that.
Look at it this way: If you want to walk the dog every day except Sunday, you don't somehow stop Sunday from coming around. You build in a test:
if today == "Sunday" then
-- do nothing
else
WalkTheDog ()
end -- if
So in your case if you don't want the ball to move then don't move it. Build a test into the function. |
