Sunjammer: example moved from page for discussion

2009-12-08T18:15:09Z

example moved from page for discussion

New page

A possible example suggested by georage:

To create a quasi-heartbeat, create a script called 'my_heartbeat' and include this in it

DelayEvent(6.0, GetHero(), Event(EVENT_TYPE_HEARTBEAT), "my_heartbeat");

Detailed example: [http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/71/index/310150/1#402992]

However the quality of scripting and document must be improved before it would be an appropriate reference. Additionally reference pages must not reference external resources which cannot be maintained by the editors.

	:: Not everyone's definition of "works" is the same so, for example, while your example claims to be an area heartbeat it sends the delayed event to the player whereupon it would become a player heartbeat. Bryan's hastily cleaned up version is unfortunately no better in this regard. Ironically moving the example to the "talk" page was intended to protect readers and provide sufficient time test the script, confirm and resolve the issues and produce a revised version which would be suitable to act as a reference.		:: Not everyone's definition of "works" is the same so, for example, while your example claims to be an area heartbeat it sends the delayed event to the player whereupon it would become a player heartbeat.
