ResumeChannel not working?

| What is wrong w/ this if statement, and how can I make it so when my player is invincible, then pause the level's music, and play the invincible music, but if the player is not invincible anymore, then resume the level music? I don't see why this WON'T work. |

| Hi, ;What is wrong w/ this If statement, Make sure the "(IsInvincible = False)" and other events are not all the time false or true, this make the playsound repeating in a loop. how can I make it so when my player is invincible, Then pause the level's music, and play the invincible music, but If the player is Not invincible anymore, Then resume the level music? Add a extra variable For the sound file name it like "ch_stagemusic" Or "channel_stagemusic" ;(found this methode long time ago in a help file) So can you control your soundfiles as "channels" with ChannelVolume,PauseChannel etc. Maybe you need To "Global" these variables too. Here is a little Pause Resume Example, hope this help some. |

| Thanks, but now how can I control this w/ the IsInvincible variable, instead of the keyhit? |
| ||
| use a timmer to decide how long IsInvincible should be true, checking for the ammount of time passed then set IsInvincible to false |
| ||
| if i use createtimer and waittimer, wont it lag the game? oO |
| ||
| use Millisecs() to create your timmer, sorry i did not mean using inbuilt timmer functions |
| ||
| ok. can u show me a small example of how i can do this? i want the invincibility to last for approximately 30 seconds. then switch IsInvincible to = false. i edited bonestan's code, but i could be wrong. code: the lines ur looking for: |

| heres some code that handles timed event queues, its based on types and processes each id of the created timmer event. With modifcation ProcessTimedEvents() function its possable to process many timmed events in each literation of the passed type. its quite basic but shows how to handle multi timmed events and act on the id of the returned timmer event Type TEvent Field ID Field EndTime Field Time End Type Graphics3D 640,480,16,2 SetBuffer BackBuffer() time_event.TEvent = New TEvent time_event\ID = 1 time_event\Time = 1000 time_event\EndTime = MilliSecs() + time_event\Time time_event.TEvent = New TEvent time_event\ID = 2 time_event\Time = 5000 time_event\EndTime = MilliSecs() + time_event\Time MilliSecs() While Not KeyDown(1) Cls eventID = ProcessTimedEvents(time_event) Select(eventID) Case 1 Text 10,20,"Event ID - " + eventID Case 2 Text 10,20,"Event ID - " + eventID Default Text 10,20,"No Event in queue" End Select Flip Wend End Function ProcessTimedEvents(e.TEvent) If e.TEvent <> Null For e.TEvent = Each TEvent If MilliSecs() > e\EndTime Then ; remove timer event Delete e Return False Else Return e\ID EndIf Next EndIf End Function |

| it only works if the 1st time is lower than the 2nd :S |
| ||
| i dont know why it does this. and i waited for 20 hours to bump, so bump |

| Repeat Cls ;Display Text 5,5,message$ invtime = Millisecs() invincibletime = Millisecs()*30000 If invtime = invincibletime then IsInvincible = False Even only "Millisecs()*30000" looks terrible wrong to me. Here's a simple demo: invtime = Millisecs()+30000 while keyhit(1)=0 if millisecs() > invtime then IsInvincible = 0 print "IsInvincible is now Zero" endif wend Millisecs() returns the number of milliseconds since the latest System Bootup. This may be a very high number. Testing for the diffrence between two Millisecs() (one earlier, one later) is the only theing that makes sense with Millisecs(). You can also do something every 30 Seconds: invtime = Millisecs()+30000 while keyhit(1)=0 if millisecs() > invtime then IsInvincible = 0 print "IsInvincible is now Zero" invtime = Millisecs()+30000 ; sets the timer for the next task endif wend |

| ok, now how can i make this work every x amount of seconds that max time equals instead of from time to time playing the invincible sound and waiting for x seconds then pausing? code: |
| ||
| Perhaps try to break down your confusing statement: now how can i make this work every x amount of seconds that max time equals instead of from time to time playing the invincible sound and waiting for x seconds then pausing? into more manageable, shorter sentences. If you do that you may be able to see for yourself how to work this out. from Matt |
| ||
| um, matty, i already tried that. if i could figure it out, i wouldnt be asking u. Also, JA2, I KNOW ur going to smart off so go ahead, and I shall continue ignoring u |

this fixes the problem above, i find it much easyer to use types and a function to process timmed eventsType TEvent Field ID Field EndTime Field Time End Type Graphics3D 640,480,16,2 SetBuffer BackBuffer() time_event.TEvent = New TEvent time_event\ID = 1 time_event\Time = 8000 time_event\EndTime = MilliSecs() + time_event\Time time_event.TEvent = New TEvent time_event\ID = 2 time_event\Time = 5000 time_event\EndTime = MilliSecs() + time_event\Time MilliSecs() While Not KeyDown(1) Cls time_event.TEvent = First TEvent ProcessTimedEvents(time_event) Flip Wend End Function ProcessTimedEvents(e.TEvent) If e.TEvent <> Null For e.TEvent = Each TEvent If MilliSecs() < e\EndTime Then Select(e\ID) Case 1 Text 10,20,"Event ID - " + e\ID Case 2 Text 10,40,"Event ID - " + e\ID End Select Else Delete e Return False EndIf Next EndIf End Function |
| ||
| ok, now how can i fix this code so it doesn't lag the invincibility music? this is basically what i needed the timer for anyway code: it works GREAT this way, it just needs to stop lagging the sound |
| ||
| Also, JA2, I KNOW ur going to smart off so go ahead, and I shall continue ignoring u I said nothing. You bring me into this and then say you're ignoring me. Stupid... |
| ||
| call me another name, and i will cuss u into last night |
| ||
| call me another name, and i will cuss u into last night Instead of starting arguments, why don't you go back to working on 'your code' you ungrateful brat... |
| ||
| So the 'idiot' does have a dark side. why don't u go back to ur deathstar, YOU ungreatful brat. -.- |
| ||
| So the 'idiot' does have a dark side. why don't u go back to ur deathstar, YOU ungreatful brat. -.- Awww is that the best you can do, Rez? I thought you were going to cuss me into last night? Hahahahahaha |
| ||
| Yes, I too would like to see this "time travel". You really do bring things onto yourself. |
| ||
| Because I'm not going to stoop to 'your' level. And you pressuring me will NEVER get me to speak. |
| ||
| What the hell are you talking about? Speak about what? What level? Anyway, i think matt's advise was to break the problem into tiny chunks, and try and address it that way. It may make alot more sense. |
| ||
| Because I'm not going to stoop to 'your' level. And you pressuring me will NEVER get me to speak. I'm not pressuring you to do anything, Rez. You're the one who brought me into this yet again. You keep saying that you'll ignore me and that you're leaving the Blitz forums. I'm wondering at what point are you actually going to STFU and piss off? |
| ||
| BACK THE HELL OFF, JA2! I'm already having enough family problems as it is, I DON'T need YOUR help! :@ Go to hell, and NEVER COME BACK! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!! |
| ||
| Rez, here is a little piece of advice I learned a while back: Every time you catch yourself typing in capitals, remember that your backspace key was included for a reason. There is absolutely no reason to get worked up about text on a forum page. Delete, start again, repeat as necessary. Take a break for ten minutes if the pace of the discussion is getting to you and write your reply later - the forum isn't going anywhere. Also, if you want people to stay away from you, don't ask them to insult you when they weren't already. Post #14 is really just inviting retribution. |

| So the 'idiot' does have a dark side. why don't u go back to ur deathstar, YOU ungreatful brat. -.- dont diss the deathstar im eyeing up the lego one with all the minifigs |
