Hi, I want to use the sheduler from the Delphi SDK and hence have to use the function

Proc_Add_Sch(entity, event:Pointer);

But what if I have a procedure like the following that is not connected to an entity?

procedure updateMouse;
begin
ev.mouse_pos.x := ev.mouse_cursor.x;
ev.mouse_pos.y := ev.mouse_cursor.y;
wait(1);
end;

Thanks for your help!

Sorry for the delay in replying.... been very busy.

I don't see a problem calling it like this:

Proc_Add_Sch(Nil,YourEvent);

One thing to watch out for is if you use more than 1 event without an entity and try to call Proc_Remove_Sch(Nil) it will remove the first event added that had "Nil" passed when calling Proc_Add_Sch.

when I wrote the scheduler I never thought about events without operationg on an entity. I may look at adding support for that directly.

Hi LazyDog,
no problem, thanks for your reply. That is exactly the problem I am dealing with at the moment since I use many procedures using a wait which are not attached to an entity.

I'm currently solving this problem by having one main loop calling each procedure each frame instead of starting many "small" loops during the game. But it would be great to have some kind of pointer to a scheduled procedure that you can work with (remove it from scheduler, ...).

when I get the sdk updated for the latest release of A7 I'll add support for procedures without entities.

Cool, thanks. Please do not forget the "pan_setcolor" function, this one is important, too

what about pan_setcolor?

whenever there's a new release I go through the entire A7 SDK and make the additions that are necessary to the Delphi SDK. I believe I already added that (I'm in the BETA program and I'm updating the Delphi SDK as each beta is released--I just need to add the changes from the last beta to the newest release)

Excellent!!!!!!!!
