Delay problem

ELSoft · Post by **ELSoft** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 10:39 am

I try to make a delay when a pj tries to equip an armor (like a Chainmail or a Platemail) but there is a problem because when i put a delay in the equip script ... the delay does not work!!.

I am modifying the equip.src and the equip.inc.

Someone has some suggestion ??

Code: Select all

var armorDelay:={
           //  {ObjetcType,Delay}
	{ 0x140c , 1000 },      //Bascinet
	{ 0x140d , 1000 },      //Bascinet2

As the documentation notes for the equip scripts, they run critical which means sleep statements are ignored.

There is a workaround that you can try. Create a use script for the armour so that when you double click it it will delay for the desired length then equip the item.

I was imagining that is the motive for that was not working....

Create a use script for the armour so that when you double click it it will delay for the desired length then equip the item.

I supposed it .... but I must stop using the equip.src ... which I do not want

But if there is no alternative....

Some another idea????????
