Delays

[Mr. T]

How do you cancel a delay?

[Neo]

What do you mean cancel?
If you mean take out the delay while the program is running then you could put the delay inside an if statement.

[Mr. T]

ya sorry, can u give me an example of using an if statement to stop a delay?

hmm... why would you want a delay to stop. You can set the delay right... so why would you want it to stop while the program in running... can you give like a piece of code so i can see what you're trying to do

u can probably do:

if (something) then
x := 0
end if
delay (x)

<<anything above needs a delay of 10>>
delay (10)
cls
delay (0)
<<anythinmg below needs no delay>>

k ...
so

code:

% all your code before that var num:int get num if num >10 then delay(10) %you don't need an else delay (0) cos... thats like  :? :P end if

that should work fine.

Is this inside a loop? If so, chances are you should only have one delay.

How about this question:
How would you let the user input something while a delay is running?

[Cervantes]

You don't. A delay is like getch: it halts the program until it's done. So, while the delay is on, the program is halted. Thus, you can't be running an Input.KeyDown line while the delay is on.

But a get statement would do the trick... it would delay until the user inputs a value.. or if you need the delay set to a specific time you could have the get statement and then the delay like so:

code:

var theget : string put "enter something here" get theget Time.Delay(10)

How about just hasch
however, I got a question
ok how would u like enter a cheat while the program is running
like you can make teh program run
but if u enter something, it wont show, but it will print do the cheat after the code is fully entered

[1337_brad]

Do it with processes... and then fork them, so that the game, and the getcheat command can run at the same time...

do note that processes will cause alot of trouble.... you might wanna stay away from em... if i were you, i would just use a cheat menu...
