hello, I'd like send the parameter via delayed call, but idk how
Code: Select all
function theDelay(entity,name,time)
delayedCall(self.go.id, time, name)
end
I need send the parameter "entity" to the function "name"

Just pass what you need in a global variable and once your call from delayedCall has used it/completes get rid of that "passed" along variable.

Here is a quick implementation of delayCall with arguments, I did this for LoG1 too so it wasn't too hard.
name this script to
delay
Code: Select all
timers = {}
function call(delay,method,args)
local timer = spawn('timer',party.level,1,1,1,1)
timers[timer.id] = {method,args}
timer.timer:addConnector('onActivate',self.go.id,'execute')
timer.timer:setTimerInterval(delay)
timer.timer:setDisableSelf(true)
end
function execute(timer)
local data = timers[timer.go.id]
data[1](unpack(data[2]))
cleanup(timer)
end
function cleanup(timer)
timers[timer.go.id] = nil
timer.go:destroy()
end
Usage example
Code: Select all
local callback = function(arg1,arg2,arg3)
print(arg1,arg2,arg3)
end
delay.script.call(3,callback,{1,2,3})
arguments must be passed as an array

I should take a rest from modding for few days because It's getting hard for me to understand codes.
edit: I'll look at it tomorrow

In case this needs mentioning, remember to
only pass serializable values to JKos' script if you use it.

That is a lot more functional then the delayedCall we have, JKos. Once again you have caused me to rework what I already have. ~laughs~

I've added support for arbitrary number of optional args to delayedCall in 2.1.16.
