Press F didn't work

Hi Guys, i have a script, where you must press F, but if you press then nothing happens, but it should.

Script:

Code:

---

startheli()
{
        level endon("end_map");
        self endon("disconnect");

        self iprintlnbold("Press F to call your Carepackage!");

        if(self useButtonPressed())
        {
                for(;;)
                {
                self iprintlnbold("should work...");
                //.... script function
                }
        }
}

---

The script will called but i am 100 % sure the Press F didn't work.

Please help me, what i must do for that?

How and where the "startheli()" function is called?

Are you calling that on "level" again?

Player code needs to be called like: player thread startheli();

Its called by Killstreak

Code:

---

streak()
{
        streak = self.streak;
        switch(streak)
        {
        case 3:
                iprintln(self.name+" ^7is on 3 Killstreak!");
        self iprintlnbold("You are on 3 Killstreak, you get your Carepackage!");
                self thread maps\mp\gametypes\_carepackage::main();
                break;
        }
}

---

then on _carepackage.gsc :

Code:

---

main()
{
        thread startheli();
}

---

Change from: self thread maps\mp\gametypes\_carepackage::main();

To: self thread maps\mp\gametypes\_carepackage::startheli();

Thx but nothing changed :D Same problem

the if(self usebuttonpressed)
{
.....
}
is for pressing f then should happen something, but nothing will happen

but till here it works:

Code:

---

startheli()
{
        level endon("end_map");
        self endon("disconnect");

        self iprintlnbold("Press F to call your Carepackage!");
 // here comes the iprintbold

    but then...
        if(self useButtonPressed())
        {
        // FUNCTION...
        // DIDNT WORK

---

You need to put loop..

PHP Code:

---

self endon("disconnect");

while(1)
{
    if(self useButtonPressed())
    {
    //code
    }
   wait 0.05;
}

Thanks RobsoN, that works!

PHP Code:

---

self endon("disconnect");

while( self useButtonPressed() ) //If he is pressing the use button allready, so he don't activates it random
     wait .1;

self iprintlnBold("Press F to call Heli");

while( !self useButtonPressed() )
     wait .1;

if(!isAlive(self)) //if he needs to be alive to get a heli/care package
     return;
//functions
} 


---

Also, NEVER use
for(;;)
self iprintlnBold("BLA");

without an wait! The server won't start cause of infinity loop

I thought that for(;;) could be used without wait and that only while(1) needs a wait. Correct me if im wrong

It depends if the 3 control arguments (int, condition, increment) are used or not. If not, then you require a wait time of at least a server frame.
