Delay?

[Sonic]

I'm trying to make a scene where I use a laser to change the attraction of an object, then change back when it hits again. But when the laser hits it it runs the script every step. How do I put in a 1 or 2 second delay?

Here's my script I'm using:

Code: Select all

(e)=>{attraction = -10000 - attraction}

(e)=>{sim.time > controllerAcc ? {controllerAcc = sim.time+10; {do something}} : {} }
and don't forget to reset controlleAcc to zero.

K thanks.

Code: Select all

(e)=>{(e.geom.controllerAcc - sim.time) >= 2 ? {attraction = -10000 - attraction; e.geom.controllerAcc = sim.time}:{}}

This is pretty much the same I think it's a little easier to see how it works.

wait what is e.geom.controllerAcc ???

I'm sure your aware of the geometry controllers(that thing that can make you move objects with the arrow keys). It's a property of any geometry. It's been commonly used now to store properties in an object and such.

it can be anything you wont have any need of. Just a "storage for numbers" you could also use a variable

Code: Select all

(e)=>{(scene.my.anything - sim.time) >= 2 ? {attraction = -10000 - attraction; scene.my.anything = sim.time}:{}}

;P

Whatever guys. It didn't work anyway, so I used a key bind.

keybinds do leak to config files, so its not a very good idea.

It's localized. It just affects an object in the scene, nothing more.
