[Help] If statement.. continuously refreshing

[RpT]

Hi to all! I'm new on this forum but I've been playing Algodoo and Phun(a long time ago) since 2-3 years(don't know exactely). I've just started to learn thyme scripting. I'm already facing a problem so I hope that you, guys, would help me.
So here it is :
I want to change the collision layer depending by the angular velocity of a wheel. I decided to use an "if statement". I have a working statement :

Code: Select all

scene.my.boxangularvelocity < 10 ? {scene.my.gear1=1} : {scene.my.gear1=2}

Where:
-scene.my.boxangularvelocity is refreshed by gradyfitz's new method ( and I can get the correct value)
-scene.my.gear1 is the collision number that I want... for1=A first gear ..for 2=B second gear... and so on.

It works only ONCE when I put that statement in the console and press Enter. I need it to work every second of the simulation. So here is my question: How can I make that statement not only work once but every time(every one second or every 2 seconds) without putting that if statement in console and pressing Enter. Thanks for help!

create a laser and put your if-statement in the onlaserhit of the laser, should be continious.
for phun it would be a rotating box against an other geom for continious collision.
that way you dont have to enter anything anymore

Thanks !
Also do you have any ideea how to make the refreshing rate a little bit lower... because it lags much and I cannot control anything. I tried by interrupting the laser beam with a rotating piece of wood but when the beam collides with the spinning wheel the wood's hinge stops working.
I need to interrupt somehow the refresher= the laser beam which goes to the spinning wheel.

Thank you for giving me your lost time

you could put the script on a the box which the laser hits, (onlaserhit) and then the interuptor will work,

Code: Select all

controlleracc>10 ? {scene.my.boxangularvelocity < 10 ? {scene.my.gear1=1} : {scene.my.gear1=2};controlleracc=0} : {controlleracc+1}

will also work, where controlleracc>10 can be configured to any delay (higher for longer pause)

Thank you very much !
