Sniper-Breathing Help Fixed

Ok, I add the Drunk or Sniper Breathing resource,
www.garagegames.com/community/resources/view/4993

Works great and I even worked out how to use it without knowing my ID#, like this in my zoom funtion;

if($Pref::player::CurrentFOV $= "")
   $Pref::player::CurrentFOV = 45;

function clientCmdZoomIn( %val, %curWeapon )
{
   if ( %val && %curWeapon $= "m4a1" )
   {
      $Pref::player::CurrentFOV = 11.25; //Set for 8X Zoom
      
      $ZoomOn = true;
      setFov( $Pref::player::CurrentFOV );
      ScopeGuiGroup1.Visible = 1; // Show m4a1 Scope HUD
      Reticle.Visible = 0; // Hide Crosshair
      LocalClientConnection.player.setTranquilized(0.0001); //Breathing while Zoomed
   }
   else if ( %val && %curWeapon $= "Rocket" )
   {
      $Pref::player::CurrentFOV = 15; //Set for 6X Zoom
      
      $ZoomOn = true;
      setFov( $Pref::player::CurrentFOV );
      ScopeGuiGroup2.Visible = 1; // Show Rocket Scope HUD
      Reticle.Visible = 0; // Hide Crosshair
      LocalClientConnection.player.setTranquilized(0.0001); //Breathing while Zoomed
   }
   else if ( %val && %curWeapon $= "Sig551" )
   {
      $Pref::player::CurrentFOV = 11.25; //Set for 8X Zoom
      
      $ZoomOn = true;
      setFov( $Pref::player::CurrentFOV );
      ScopeGuiGroup1.Visible = 1; // Show Sig551 Scope HUD
      Reticle.Visible = 0; // Hide Crosshair
      LocalClientConnection.player.setTranquilized(0.0001); //Breathing while Zoomed
   }
   else
   {
      $ZoomOn = false;
      setFov( $Pref::player::DefaultFov );
      ScopeGuiGroup1.Visible = 0; // Make m4a1 Scope HUD Invisible
      ScopeGuiGroup2.Visible = 0; //Make Rocket Scope HUD Invisible
      Reticle.Visible = 1; // Show crosshair
      LocalClientConnection.player.setTranquilized(0.0); //NO Breathing while unZoomed
   }
}

However, what I want is to be able to zoom for 5 seconds with the tranquilized set to 0.0001, then after 5 seconds, it sets to something like 0.001, and of course on no zoom its set to 0.0

***FIXED***

Here's how it should look...............

if($Pref::player::CurrentFOV $= "")
   $Pref::player::CurrentFOV = 45;

function clientCmdZoomIn( %val, %curWeapon )
{
   if ( %val && %curWeapon $= "m4a1" )
   {
      $Pref::player::CurrentFOV = 11.25; //Set for 8X Zoom
      
      $ZoomOn = true;
      setFov( $Pref::player::CurrentFOV );
      ScopeGuiGroup1.Visible = 1; // Show m4a1 Scope HUD
      Reticle.Visible = 0; // Hide Crosshair
      LocalClientConnection.player.setTranquilized(0.0001); //Breathing while Zoomed
      $HoldingBreath = schedule(5000,0,"Breathing"); //Increase Breathing effect after 5 seconds
      $StillHoldingBreath = schedule(10000,0,"AreYouKidding"); //Increase Breathing effect after 10 seconds 
   }
   else if ( %val && %curWeapon $= "Rocket" )
   {
      $Pref::player::CurrentFOV = 15; //Set for 6X Zoom
      
      $ZoomOn = true;
      setFov( $Pref::player::CurrentFOV );
      ScopeGuiGroup2.Visible = 1; // Show Rocket Scope HUD
      Reticle.Visible = 0; // Hide Crosshair
      LocalClientConnection.player.setTranquilized(0.0001); //Breathing while Zoomed
      $HoldingBreath = schedule(5000,0,"Breathing"); //Increase Breathing effect after 5 seconds
      $StillHoldingBreath = schedule(10000,0,"AreYouKidding"); //Increase Breathing effect after 10 seconds
   }
   else if ( %val && %curWeapon $= "Sig551" )
   {
      $Pref::player::CurrentFOV = 11.25; //Set for 8X Zoom
      
      $ZoomOn = true;
      setFov( $Pref::player::CurrentFOV );
      ScopeGuiGroup1.Visible = 1; // Show Sig551 Scope HUD
      Reticle.Visible = 0; // Hide Crosshair
      LocalClientConnection.player.setTranquilized(0.0001); //Breathing while Zoomed 
      $HoldingBreath = schedule(5000,0,"Breathing"); //Increase Breathing effect after 5 seconds
      $StillHoldingBreath = schedule(10000,0,"AreYouKidding"); //Increase Breathing effect after 10 seconds
   }
   else
   {
      $ZoomOn = false;
      setFov( $Pref::player::DefaultFov );
      ScopeGuiGroup1.Visible = 0; // Make m4a1/Sig551 Scope HUD Invisible
      ScopeGuiGroup2.Visible = 0; //Make Rocket Scope HUD Invisible
      Reticle.Visible = 1; // Show crosshair
      LocalClientConnection.player.setTranquilized(0.0001); //Just alittle Breathing while unZoomed
      cancel($HoldingBreath);
      cancel($StillHoldingBreath);
   }
}

function toggleZoom(%val)
{
   if ($firstPerson == 1) // No Zoom When in 3rd Person View
   {
   commandToServer( 'CallZoomFunction', %val );
   }
}

function Breathing()
{
   if ($firstPerson == 1) 
   {
   LocalClientConnection.player.setTranquilized(0.001);
   }
}

function AreYouKidding()
{
   if ($firstPerson == 1) 
   {
   LocalClientConnection.player.setTranquilized(0.01);
   }
}

moveMap.bind(mouse, mouse2, toggleZoom);

If you notice, I just used the schedule command to do what I wanted, now when I zoom I have just alittle movement, then after 5 seconds it moves alittle more, then I added the thought of after a 10 second breath hold while zooming make the movement goes nuts.....better unzoom and refocus. Hope some else may get a little help from it.....thanks again to F.W. Hardijzer for his resource on Drunk or Sniper-Breathing movement.....Donnie

Hope someone like me, who has very little programming skills, is able to get some use out of understanding the zoom function. The good thing about no one responding to help me with the programming side of it, forces a newbie like me to really learn all I can, and I'm in no way saying that this community doesn't help, because they do and I thank everyone for all their hard work and helping me along the way......Donnie

Glad you're not *totally* turned off by the community ;). It's not a reliable solution to anything, I've found, and it does pay to figure things out yourself. That said, it's great when people show interest and can help you out.

Never was Daniel!!! Reliable??? All it does is make my zoom use the Drunk Sniper resource, I thought maybe someone else might like to know how I did it, prob.. not the best way but no one help me do it and I thought I'd try to give back to a community who has help me so much, didn't know I'd get comments like this though, sorry if I made your tea to hot, only trying to help.......Donnie

Looks awesome, I think I'll have to check this out.

Btw: I've never seen a global variable schedule and cancel function used like that!

No, no, I meant the community wasn't a reliable solution to anything! Most of the time it's a huge help, but you never know when you just won't get a response ;P. I think it's great that you posted up the fix you found - too often people don't, and that just means more of the same questions get asked because the answer isn't there.

Then By all means I do apologize Daniel, I thought I upset you somehow, and thank you for responding......Donnie

Heh, no worries... on my part, I'm sorry for being a bit ambiguous ;P.

For T3d 3.5, use the following on togglezoom;

LocalClientConnection.player.setTranquilized(0.0001); //Breathing while Zoomed   
      %time1 = 5000;
      %time2 = 10000;
      $holdingbreath = schedule(%time1,0,"Breathing"); //Increase Breathing effect after 5 seconds  
      $StillHoldingBreath = schedule(%time2,0,"AreYouKidding"); //Increase Breathing effect after 10 seconds

and change the two functions to this...

function Breathing()  
{  
   LocalClientConnection.player.setTranquilized(0.001);  
}  
  
function AreYouKidding()  
{  
   LocalClientConnection.player.setTranquilized(0.01);  
}

everything else remains the same!!
