combining processes OR not

-----------------------------------

i need some help now with that timer thing. i did what u suggested but its not working, or maybe its just the programming. what i want is once the character is outside, the outside procedure, they timer starts.

after say 3 seconds the small troll appears, then 5 seconds after that the next and so on

the procedure names to use are commented

if i shouldn't use process, then what?


this is my final year project, and its do tomorrow.  :oops:  So i need to figure this out fast. 

Thanks all

-----------------------------------

instead of processes you use same loop with flags...

so if monsterAppearFlag = true then... you load up a procedure to make a new moster appear... then reset the flag to false.. you'll also have a timer find new time each time through the loop... and once enough time passes, you reset the flag variable to true once again and procedure repeats
