Event handling functions

[Hack-N-Slash]

How does one make a function that activates when a certain event occurs? Making a loop waiting for a certain value would hog cpu cycles, would it not?

Give a bit more explaination of what you are talking about..

Loops do lag greatly.

If it is timed, schedule is your friend.

What exactly are you waiting for?

I dunno, anything...how about being attacked? I was thinking of some special syntax that'll tell a function to wait until a specified event would occur.

Either that or I have get a good understanding of the data flow in the trpg clientside model so I know where to put an if block waiting for a certain value.

You know those scripts in normal tribes games that have people yell at team changers, or auto-apology scripts(Team damage)? Thats what I'm thinking about.

Well, if it is server side, you could just call the function inside the playerdamage function after damage has been dealt ect.

If i is client-side, you could do a hp check, and if it decreases, call the function..

Unless you are specific, I can't really give you an answer.

You could actually put a do-while loop without causing much lag.. It just depends on what you want.

Oh wait, writer's event.cs provides something like this... I forgot that.
