[Script] Infinite Loop?

[Dobbydoo]

Is there any way to make an infinite loop in Amnesia?

I've tried:

PHP Code: (Select All)

for(int k = 20; k > 50; k+=5) 


PHP Code: (Select All)

for (;;) 


PHP Code: (Select All)

while (1 == 1) 


PHP Code: (Select All)

for(int k = 2; k == 1; k+=5) 


and

PHP Code: (Select All)

while (1) 


But none have worked. They have just resulted in crashes of different kinds :/

The crash is caused by the infinite loop working. The game will hang until the script function call is finished - which obviously won't happen if you are stuck in an infinite loop. I am assuming you want some form of event which is fired once per step, in which case, try the following:

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
   loopStep("LoopTimer1");
}

//Loop the specified timer with delay of fDelay
const float fDelay = 1.0f / 60.0f; //60 steps per second
void loopStep(string &in asTimer) {
  OnStep(asTimer);
  AddTimer(asTimer,fDelay,"loopStep");
}

//Our loopStep code will call this once per step.
void OnStep(string &in asTimer)
{
  //CODE HERE
}

Would you mind explaining that a bit more detailed? I don't understand very much of it :/

In other words: Use a timer where the function that gets called also resets the timer, where the timer loops about every 16ms.

Why didn't I think about that?! I feel so stupid... But thank you very much
