| Hello,
I think there used to be a video on youtube for making delays between trigger firings (in the example, the trigger would go off everytime the person got a tell). I can't find that video anymore, though, but I would like to use something similar in a trigger.
I thought about using the 'wait' function instead, but the way shown in the video was cleaner, and I think used OS time somehow.
Can someone give an example of how to cause a trigger to delay, say, 10 seconds between firings? | | Top |

| | Or you could check inside the trigger script (assuming it sent to script) if 10 seconds had elapsed, and if not, just return, doing nothing. |

| I'm fairly sure it wasn't do after. It was an if check using os.time, I'm just not sure how to do it.
A vague idea of how it went was
trigger name: * tells you *
trigger body:
if (os.time since last tell > 30 seconds) then
PlaySound("alert")
else
--do nothing
end
It's how to do/make that 'if' statement work that I'm having trouble with.
Honestly, I think you may have been the one to have made the video on YouTube, but I can't find it anymore. | | Top |
