Q : Clearing variable entries according to time entered?
|
Currently my curing system works by a variable storing the affliction. another variable storing if a cure has been attempted (so it isnt attempted twice per cycle, eg herb and potion). then the variable is cleared every 6 seconds so they may be attempted again.. eg
| Code: |
#if (@clearvar = 1) {
@clearvar = 0
#var tryafflictions {}
#alarm +6 {clearvar = 1}
} |
What I need is to change it so that not all the entries in the variablelist @tryafflictions are removed at once. i want the entry cleared 6 secconds after it is entered. so 5 entries could be entered 1 seccond apart.. and they then get deleted 1 seccond apart. not all together as it is currently coded.
one way i thought of doing it was from the name of the affliction to reflect the time...
eg
the alias that adds them is called ADDAFF
#addi myafflictions %time(ns)%1
so then the code to clear the var would do a delete item if the item was added more then 6 secconds ago..
thats the ony idea i could come up with and im yet to get it to work.
anyone have any better/different ideas?
Thanks |

You could look into %pop %push ideas.
The other idea is to spin off a temporary alarm that will fire in 6 sections and %delitem the cure attempt.

Am I just overly confused today or is this statement wrong:
@clearvar = 0
#var @clearvar 0
And should be:
clearvar = 0
#var clearvar 0 |
