Hi, me again.
I'm programming on a little rpg and I made this little very easy code to check, if the player went out 5 fire:

while(firenumber<5){wait(1);} //wait as long as the player went out all fires

And in the function from the fire:

if( -water on me-)
firenumber+=1;

But now, if I went out all fires ingame, nothing happens. I made a digit for the variable firenumber, and it's on 5 and anyway nothing happens. I worked with beep(); so i'm sure the fault is in the Code, which I wrote here.

try to first set firenumber to 5 at start, to see if
the stuff after the while works.
If this works, test if the "water an" condition is triggered correctly.

I tried this:

beep();
while(firenumber<5){wait(1);}
beep();

The first beep comed, but not the second
And how I said, I made a digit on a panel for the variable "firenumber", and it counts fine...

EDIT:
I tried this:

beep();
while(firenumber<5){beep();wait(-1);} //beep every second
beep();beep();beep();beep(); //make four fast beeps

Ingame, it beeped first, then it beeped every second.
But when I extinguished one fire, it stopped beeping, but not four fast beeps. The whole function got stuck (maybe) It's so confusing :S

Hi!

try



not tested

no, it did the same... first beep comed and then it beeped every second, if I extinguished one of the five fires, it stopped beeping.

Hi hopfel!


Verify your panel to make sure that it shows the numbers going from
1 to 5.

Make the wait longer to slow things down.

I wrote this code:
beep();
var i = 0;
while(firenumber<5)
{
for (i=1; i<5; i++)
{
test = i;
beep();wait(-2);
} //beep every second
}

This was the operational sequence:

- firenumber = 0
*beep*
*beep*
(1 second later)
*beep*
- i = 1
(1 second later)
*beep*
- i = 2
(1 second later)
*beep*
- i = 3
(1 second later)
*beep*
- i = 4
(1 second later)
*beep*
- i = 1
- I extinguished one of the five fires
- firenumber = 1
(1 second later)
-nothing happened, i stayed on 1.
- I extinguished the other four fires
- firenumber = 5
- nothing happened


I think it's the same strange problem from here:

Hi!

Once the value of firenumber is 5 it stays 5 until you reset it in your code.
Do you reset it for the next fire?

On the digit the firenumber is zero, before I extinguish a fire, if I understanded your question right.

Hi!

A few questions

How many players are putting the fire out?

Is this the situation?


You will have to give us some code to work with.
