Schedule issue

by Howard Dortch · in Torque 3D Professional · 10/05/2012 (12:08 pm) · 4 replies

I have a schedule running using

%this.schedule(2000,run,%obj);

I tried to cancel the schedule using the object name as in cancel(pump.schedule) but it keeps running. Can someone tell me how to cancel this type of schedule?

void cancel

cancel(eventId)

void cancelAll

cancelAll(objectId): cancel pending events on the specified object. Events will be automatically cancelled if object is deleted. 

$theSchedule = %this.schedule(2000, "run", %obj);

cancel($theSchedule);
cancelAll(%this.getId());

I've not tried cancelAll() - it might be 1.2 only - but do use cancel() in 1.1;

Well the issue there is I use a single run function for all the pumps so I can't use a global like that otherwise it would cancel the run on all 4 objects.
The setup is like so:

function WaterPump::Run(%this,%obj)
{
bla...
%this.schedule(2000,Run,%obj);
}

I need to selectively kill one of the pumps via cancel

function WaterPump::Run(%this, %obj)
{
   bla...
   %obj.runSchedule = %this.schedule(2000, Run,%obj);
}

later...

cancel(%obj.runSchedule);

That works, thanks. Seems rather redundant tho....
