Function :: Wait() /q?

[xZanU]

Is there a quiet mode for wait()?

I've tried variations of /q /s etc... But it still echos the countdown and completed texts in the CLI. Also tried some redirection(s) but those do not work either.

As an alternative I have been using a while loop that counts to 1000, but the time elapsed on that varies by system and load.

I don't think there is one, by design.

On a somewhat related question, I'm using wait in a script and I want it to ask me how many seconds I want it to wait for. Any suggestions? Basically I run .txt script files that use my turns up; but there are times when I want it to pause for a period of time depending on what's going on in my clan. Any suggestions?

call myWait (in your .txt file)

In myWait.ash:

void main( randomVar ) {
   cli_execute("wait " + randomVar);
}

This might not be the best way to do it, but it should work.

Well, I dislike using a CLI command in an ash script when there's a good ash command to use. I'd recommend using wait( int ) instead. Aside from that I have no criticism.

It is a shame that there is no way inside a script to prompt the user for a variable other than a boolean.

Yep and every time a discussion starts up about supporting more than this, the thread eventually dies.

Most of the work has already been done for implementing integer prompts.

So the script (.ash) would be:

void main( randomVar ) {
wait(int);
}

And in my .txt file I would do:

call myWait.ash

And that would then prompt me for the number of seconds to wait?

I think that would be:

void main(waitTime) {
    wait(waitTime);
}

Unless I'm missing something, the primary motivation for not including user prompting for anything other than booleans is just as problematic now as it was two years ago.

I think user_confirm was only added because I could sympathize with the idea of using it to abort a script. If it's frustrating to feel limited by it, I'd feel more comfortable removing it entirely than I would by adding more things that'd lead to "Ok, so KoLmafia suddenly locked up..." bug reports.

I think that would be:

void main(waitTime) {
    wait(waitTime);
}

Actually, no. To be exact, it would done like this:

void main(int waitTime) {
    wait(waitTime);
}

 

[Catch-22]

Actually, no. To be exact, it would done like this:

void main(int waitTime) {
    wait(waitTime);
}

This guy gets it.

I think it works great as it is. It's fun to see what else can be done with it as well; but the main program needs to be stable like it is.

Edit: This comment was directed towards holatuwol. Oh, and the script works great guys, thanks.
