You are only wrong in that there isn't a warning, as such. That is the wrong word to use. But other than that, you are correct: notify(), waittill(), and endon() are all linked together: a waittill() is a wait function. But instead of a stated time, it waits indefinitely for a notification. Hence:

Code:

---

self waittill( "time_to_end" );

---

Code:

---

self notify( "time_to_end" );

---

Go together - a thread will not proceed past the waittill( "time_to_end" ). It sits there waiting for the notification - notify( "time_to_end" ). If it doesn't get the notification, it will wait indefinitely.

As to endon(), you will see things like endon( "disconnect" ) at the top of a loop function, which only ends when the player leaves. And if you look at the callback_playerDisconnect() function, you will see:

Code:

---

self notify( "disconnect" );

---

This signals all the threads which are waiting for the player to disconnect to end. So, the purpose of endon() is to Kill the thread or function.
