Can you explain better what you want o acieve?
What do you mean by first time? First time after beeing loaded in server rotation? First time in the server? What are you wanting to be the effect of this?

the thread is set by a trigger, it does some stuff and close some doors then opens them later on
but because the game starts with teh doors closed they dont need to close the first time the thread is run, i.e. push a button runs thread.
so i was lookin for a way to tell the script "do not close the doors the 1st time the thread is triggered".
in short, i want this part of my thread ignored the 1st time around, then included in the thread every other time it is triggered
Code: Select all
if(level.pos != self.floor)
{
$("doors_" + $lift.floor) playsound lift_gate
$("doors_" + $lift.floor) doclose
$left_door moveEast 78
$right_door moveWest 78
$left_door move
$right_door waitmove
level.doorpos = 0
}

maybe you could do:
Code: Select all
level.skip1sttime = 1
thing:
if(level.pos != self.floor)
{
if(level.skip1sttime == 1)
{
level.skip1sttime = 0
goto thing
end
}
else
{
$("doors_" + $lift.floor) playsound lift_gate
$("doors_" + $lift.floor) doclose
$left_door moveEast 78
$right_door moveWest 78
$left_door move
$right_door waitmove
level.doorpos = 0
}
}
I don't know if that would work, but try it...

Something like that would work... or you can open the doors the first thing you do when the level starts....

Yes M&M it will cause an error if you are using the moveEast/moveWest commands. Well not an error as such, but the doors would move too far and become dislaced. If you instead use
moveto command you would not have this problem in the first place and the doors would only move to the correct positions.

wooo a script I made might actually work
! the moveto command would work much better.
