Someone help me with this loop?

[Krispy]

I suppose what I'm trying to do should be apparent in these scripts, but I'm trying to respawn a rocketbox whenever the player's rockets get below 5.

script 1 enter
{

while (CheckInventory("rocket") < 5)
{
spawnspot("rocketbox",5,0,0);
delay (200);

}
}

{
if (CheckInventory("rocket") < 5)

spawnspot("rocketbox",5,0,0);
delay(200);
restart;

}

Both have the same results, that rocket boxes keep spawning no matter how much ammo I have.

Actor is rocketammo, not rocket.

Thanks. Only works on the 'if' statement for me, but that's enough!

I haven't tested this but would this work?

Code: Select all

script 1 enter
{
     While (TRUE)
     {
          if (CheckInventory("RocketAmmo") < 5)
          {
               SpawnSpot ("RocketBox", 5, 0, 0);
               Delay (200);
          }
     }
}

Besides bumping the topic after the problem was solved:
No that would not work, your Delay is inside the IF statement, the script would run-away as soon as you had more than 5 rocketammo in your inventory.

You would want this if you wanted it to check every 200 tics and spawn a box:

Code: Select all

script 1 enter
{
	if (CheckInventory("RocketAmmo") < 5)
		SpawnSpot ("RocketBox", 5, 6, 0);
	Delay(200);
	restart;
}

or this if you wanted it to only spawn one box and wait 200 tics to spawn another:

Code: Select all

script 1 enter
{
	if (CheckInventory("RocketAmmo") < 5 && !ThingCount(T_NONE, 6))
	{
		SpawnSpot ("RocketBox", 5, 6, 0);
		Delay (200);
	}
	else
		Delay(1);
	restart;
}
