Timerproblem

I try this in my script:
$world->note($world->addtimer("commandtimer", 0, 1, 30, "", 1+4+1024+16384, "timetrig1"));

And I get 30009, script name is not in script file. This kinda boggles me since I don't think addtimer is supposed to be able to return that. Plus I don't know what it means :P

Any suggestions?

Best regards,
Simon

Your problem is the script name that your timer is supposed to call, doesnt exist. Make a routine in your script file and you should be fine.

Ah thanks. But I do have that routine. It's just above the routine where I make the timer.

This is the routines:



sub commandhook
{
if($world->istimer("commandtimer"))
{
$world->deletetimer("commandtimer");
}
$world->note($world->addtimer("commandtimer", 0, 1, 30, "", 1+4+1024+16384, "timetrig1"));
}

sub timetrig1
{
$world->setvariable("commands", 0);
$world->addtimer("commandtimer", 0, 3, 20, "", 1+4+1024+16384, "timetrig2");
}

sub timetrig2
{
$world->sound("bork.wav");
}

I pasted that snippet you gave there into a script file, enabled Perl scripting and then typed (into the command window):

/commandhook

It showed 0 (success) on the output window, and the timer was added.

Funny enough, it does that for me also. But I'm calling this function from my plugin:

And that's when it starts to bug out.

Hmm - I gather you are trying to communicate from the plugin to the global script?

It seems that the current plugin script space is still active when you do a world.Execute, *however* there is a workaround.

1. Change your plugin to read:
   
   $world->execute("some_word_you_wont_use_normally");
   
   instead of:
   
   $world->execute("/commandhook();");
   
2. Make an alias in the *global* script (not the plugin) to catch that word, and execute commandhook, like this:
   
   

   
   <aliases>
     <alias
      match="some_word_you_wont_use_normally"
      enabled="y"
      send_to="12"
      sequence="100"
     >
     <send>commandhook</send>
     </alias>
   </aliases>
   

What this will do is switch to the global script space to process the alias, and then "commandhook" will be executed in global script space. I assume this is what it is all about.

That got it kicking! Many many thanks.
