wait?

[Ironclaw]

Is there a "wait" or something simular to use in scripts?... like:


If enemy hitTest me
wait 20 sec
goto "die"


???

You can use getTimer() for these

If enemy hitTest me
starttime=getTimer()

If getTimer()-starttime>20000
goto "die"

I use the timer code

onClipEvent(load){
timer = 20;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(dead == true){
if(timer>0){
timer--;
} else if(timer == 0){
doubleDead = true;
}
}

Ok, thanks guys.

mosterdfles_flash, you're way depends on the framerate. When I want to wait 20 sec. on a movie with a framerate of 30, I need to wait 20*30 frames (=600). So:

onClipEvent(load){
timer = 600;
}

Just wanted to say, before anyone makes any mistakes.

Yeah I'm aware of that...
