Hey
Im looking for a way to start a script for all players. I using pol 095 and I tried a way I thought would work.
Code: Select all
local players := EnumerateOnlineCharacters();
local numplayer := len(players);
local player;
local i := 0;
for (i := 1; i <= numplayer; i := i + 1)
player := players[i];
If (player.cmdlevel==0)
start_script( "::XXX", player );
endif
endfor
Wouldn't this code start the script on the first player, then move to the next one before that script finish? Cus right now it runs the script in the first player, but then it stops.

Yep that will start the script for each player. I see no problem with it.

Will it wait for the script to finish? Because when I test it the script starts for just the first player.

You may want to test another way to accomplish that. Basically it's the same but without all those neat variables. Documentation will tell you more about foreach statement if it's a new one to you.
Code: Select all
foreach player in EnumerateOnlineCharacters()
if (player.cmdlevel == 0)
Start_Script("::XXX", player);
endif
endforeach
Also, using print function will help you to debug your scripts. E.g. adding print(i); inside the for loop would tell you for sure how many times the new script was launched.

start_script doesn't wait for the script to finish, it just starts it then moves on.

Do you have any setcritical() in your "::XXX" script?
