Energy recharge delay

#1 bump

#2 Well, you can write one...

pseudo code:

function Player::onSpawn(%this)
{
   %this.setRechargeRate(1); // this is the command to set recharge rate, AFAIK
}

function Player::onDamage(%this)
{
   if(%this.energyRechargeDelay) // this is our "schedule variable"
      %this.energyRechargeDelay.cancel(); // cancel it every time we're damaged so it's reset

   %this.setRechargeRate(0); // don't recharge anymore
   %this.energyRechargeDelay = %this.schedule(5000 , setRechargeRate, 1); // recharge again in 5,000 ms... or 5 seconds
}

That's pseudocode, so you'll have to use the actual real commands for it to work, but that should get you started. If you need any more help, just holler.

#3 Awesome! Thanks! I got it working.

#4 Ok well I thought I got it working. I just can't get the schedule to cancel. I've tried using cancel(%this.energyRechargeDelay) and i've tried %this.energyRechargeDelay.cancel(); Neither one seemes to be working.

#5 hmmm... well, I know for a fact that cancel(scheduledThingy) works... I use that in my scripts.

You probably should use echo statements to debug it. Like...

echo("%this = " @ %this); // make sure %this is what we want...
echo("%this.energyRechargeDelay = " @ %this.energyRechargeDelay); // make sure it's a valid schedule reference...
if(%this.energyRechargeDelay)
{
   echo("Entered if statement!");
   cancel(%this.energyRechargeDelay);
}

%this.setRechargeRate(0);
%this.energyRechargeDelay = %this.schedule(5000 , setRechargeRate, 1); // recharge again in 5,000 ms... or 5 seconds
echo("NEW %this.energyRechargeDelay = " @ %this.energyRechargeDelay); // check the new one...

and just look at the console log to see if it makes sense or not...

#6 I got it working thanks! In my code its %obj not %this. I just forgot to change the one in the cancel. Thanks again!

#7 Cool, I'm glad it worked out for you.
