Lua Loops

[Sherice]

Hay !

Simple question: How do I do a loop? e.g. you say "Hi" every... 5 sec?



Thanks in advance!

Thanks, but how do I add a time (like I said, 5 sec) before the next time I say "Hi"?

 

[TGYoshi]

local function a()
-- say hi
addEvent(a, 5000)
end
a()

Ah, thanks TGYoshi =)
What's the a() in the end?

 

[sickem]

the event.

 addEvent(a, 5000)

function :

local function a()

 

[Summ]

The a() in the end is the point where you initially call the function once to start "looping".
If you want it all X seconds you can also use a globalevent with a 5000ms interval.

You will either put this in lib/function or in top of every script that will use this function

local function a()
-- say hi
addEvent(a, 5000)
end

and simply call this function in scripts by adding

 a()

in your script
