| Hey again, newbie speaking.
I'm trying to do this:
sub testing
{
if ($world->getvariable("test") =~ 1)
{
$world->doafter(10, $world->setvariable("testing", "1") );
$world->note($world->getvariable("testing"));
}
}
The problem here is that it sets the variable testing to 1 immediately, it doesn't wait 10 seconds. hence, the $world->note will show "1" instead of 0.
Any way to correct this?
Thanks in advance. | | Top |

| You have a couple of problems here. For one thing, DoAfter is supposed to have a string as its second argument, eg.
$world->DoAfter(10, "eat fish" )
You haven't quoted the argument, so it will be done immediately.
The second problem is that even if you do that, it will send the script command to the MUD: eg.
$world->DoAfter(10, '$world->SetVariable("testing", "1")' );
This at least quotes the command, but it will send '$world->SetVariable("testing", "1")' to the MUD after 10 seconds. So what you want is DoAfterSpecial, and send to the script engine, like this:
$world->DoAfterSpecial(10, '$world->SetVariable("testing", "1")' , 12);
