Solved Looping commands

[JackyBoy]

Hey there, I am currently working on a new script and I was unsure if there is a way to loop a command for a certain time. The command would be something like this

/test 5 3
(The 5 stands for the present system that I have and the 3 stands for a number of seconds the loop will run for)

if arg 1 is "5":
loop in game command here which is run from console for 3 seconds using the %arg-2%

loop arg-2 times:
    make player execute command "/Im loop this ""%arg-2%"" times"
    make console execute command "/lel, console can this too"

loop arg-2 times:
    make player execute command "/Im loop this ""%arg-2%"" times"
    make console execute command "/lel, console can this too"

Thanks

This wouldn't do what you want anyways. It would just run the code 3 times, not for 3 seconds like you said you wanted.

I think something like this is more what you want:

command /test <integer> <integer>:
    trigger:
        if arg-1 is 5:
            set {looping.%player%} to true
            set {elapsed_time.%player%} to 0
            while {looping.%player%} is true:
                if {elapsed_time.%player%} is greater than (arg-2 * 20): #you need to multiply arg-2 by 20 since it's in seconds and elapsed time is in ticks
                    set {looping.%player%} to false
                    stop
                execute console command "whatever"
                add 1 to {elapsed_time.%player%}
                wait a tick

Thanks but is there a way to make it so the loop is will repeat the command inside of the loop for a number of seconds?

 

[Deleted member 5254]

The code I posted up there ^ will repeat the command every tick for arg-2 seconds

Oh, I see. One last thing you said "#you need to multiply elapsed time by" what do I multiply by?

 

[Deleted member 5254]

20. I wrote that does it not show up lol? I also included it in the code

oh ok, Thank you for all your help.

Wait I meant you need to multiply arg-2 by 20 sorry my bad
