Trying to make a timer that stops countdown if I change rooms

[JustDan]

Attempting to make a lazy-prevention script which takes off all my enhancives if I languish at my node for too long.

I've got the (very) basic:

if Room.current.id == {mynode}
pause 15
multifput ("1", "2", "3".....)

But that just merrily counts all the way down if I even flash through the room. How can I have it break if the room number changes, then start back up again once I get back to the node?

Add another if statement.

Is this the room I want to check for?
If yes, wait 15 seconds, check again, if it's still the room take off the shit
If no, wait 15 seconds, loop

[Bobmuhthol]

Alternatively, use a local variable that starts at 0 and changes to 1 when the room is detected and switches back to 0 when it's a different room, and then have the action check be whether the state is 1 on the room check

I use something like this in a couple scripts:


loop{
wait_until { Room.current.tags.include?("node") }
(60*10).times {
staticroom=false
if !Room.current.tags.include?("node") then break
else staticroom=true
end
pause 1
}
if staticroom==true then do some stuff; end
}

Great idea... Why didn't I think of this one.

I'd be interested in it if your dumping it on the repo, if not I'm sure I can hack one together with my enhancives wear/remove script.

Is this what you want?



mynode = 228
loop{
wait_until{Room.current.id == mynode}
time = Time.now
rcount = XMLData.room_count
wait_until{Time.now > time + 15 || XMLData.room_count > rcount}
next if XMLData.room_count > rcount
echo "TIMED OUT"
multifput('1', '2', '3')
wait_while{XMLData.room_count == rcount}
}

Or something like that?
