How to stop a process?

[Asok]

ok I've got:

code:

process gtch     getch (direction) end gtch

running via:

code:

fork gtch

I'd like to know how to halt this process. Thanks.

insted of using a proces i whould use:

code:

if hasch then     getch (direction) end if

and put that in your main loop, but if you think you real have to use a proces i whould put some kind of if and a golabe varible that will will be set to ture or false. if it is flase it will no longer get the ch.

if you use Input.KeyDown you dont event have to check if anything is pressed or not... all variables are just set to false

I tried doing the boolean thing dan, it still checks the process, I'm sure there has to be a function or a method to actually stop check it.

wait, what the heck are you halting there anyway? your process isn't even a loop.. it just sits there and waits for input

[Asok]

well that's the sample code...

realistically it's:

code:

loop fork gtch end loop

use boolean data

code:

procedure forkyMcFork if stop = false then run fork end if end forkyMcFork loop forkyMcFork if a = b then stop = true end if end loop

JSBN, tried it before I posted. still gets hung on getch in the process...
