while ... do help

[Caesar]

Well i am trying to write a script (i'm pretty new but not the newest :-P) and I came across the While ('THIS') Do arguement and was having trouble setting it up for a script that I am working on. I was woundering how I could get it to DO while ('Chopping') . I don't know how to set the state of chopping up... I have ideas but i would like to be shure :-P. Well help if you feel like it (i'll be looking for how to)

Make Chopping a boolean, and the do

While(Chopping)Do
FTWait(4);

Searches for randoms as long and Chopping is true ;).

[Avaphi]

Setup up a function that is called Chopping and have it return a boolean ;)

[omgh4x0rz]

set up the boolean like this


function chopping:boolean;
begin

code...blahblah

if (something=true) then
Result:=True;
else
Result:=false;
end;

procedure DoOtherStuff;
begin
while (Chopping=True) do
FTWait(4)
end;

[YoHoJo]

Function Chopping:Boolean; //Return True or False value
Begin
If IsUpText('Chop') Then // If the top left text is Chop
Result:=True // Return a true value
end;

Procedure WaitWhilstChopping;
var j:Integer;
Begin
While (Copping) and J<20 Do // While Chopping returns true
Begin
FindNormalRandoms //Look for randoms
Antiban //Do antiban stuff
Wait(100+Random(200)) //Wait
J:=J+1 //Counter
end;
End;

This should do it. Just edit it to your needs.
I added the J counter as a failsafe in case something goes wrong
If the wile do loop repeats over 20 times, it will stop and continue with the rest of the script.

You guys are too judgmental.
This guy is new to scripting and needs specific examples.
He proly doesn't even know what a boolean is! (rofl)
:p

Wow thanks to all of you for spending your time helping me :-) (especially yohojo8 and omgh4x0rz) Hopefully in the future i can return the favor :-P

Or instead of making a integer and adding 1 to it, you can set a time mark. Like this.

Procedure WaitWhilstChopping;
var j:Integer;
Begin
MarkTime(j);
While (Copping) Do // While Chopping returns true
Begin
FindNormalRandoms //Look for randoms
Antiban //Do antiban stuff
Wait(100+Random(200)) //Wait
if (TimeFromMark(j) > 20000) then break; //Counter
end;
End;

Interresting thanks :-P

Interresting thanks :-P


Yea, remember that. The J counter yohojo showed you will work for this example, but the MarkTime(J) will become more useful once you start making scripts that need do things after a certain amount of time, e.g. logging out players.
