Script won't pause...

[ShatteredCasis]

Hey all.

I have 2 scripts.. script 1 and script 2.

script 1 runs, and at a certain point, fires script 2 and does a wait_while script 2 is running.



start_script 'script2'
wait_while{running?('script2')}


First, I discovered that script 1 wouldn't actually wait. It would pause for a few seconds, but would eventually keep going.
So, I figured, alright then, in script 2, I added a pause_script 'script 1'.

Lich tells me that script 1 is paused (when I do a ;list), but it STILL does crap.

I don't have any hooks or seperate threads going for script 1 but script 1 does contain multiple "class" definititions - so perhaps this is the reason it's not honoring the wait or pause. Anyone run into this before?

Thanks,
Casis

Tillmen is the man! He helped me out with it, but I'll mention the solution in case someone else runs into it.

When pausing a lich script, it set's a flag. But that flag's not going to be looked at unless a Lich function is actually called by the script. In my case script 1's loop was basically looking at simple variables, and not actually calling a lich function. So, Tillmen had me add "Script.self" inside the loop to allow Lich to properly pause it.
