hi,
I want to use a timer to get some data from server,ex get a string from the server per 3000ms,how can i do in the WME?Thinks.
another problem,i want to use a tread to get the data from the server,is tread supported in the wme?

Timer:

You can have a script attached to your main script with something like this:

while(true)
{

    // code doing whatever you want

    Sleep(3000);
}

This will execute your code each 3000 milliseconds (3 seconds)

To attach a script to your main game script use this --> Game.AttachScript(script_file_name);

 

Thread:

Each script is executed in a separated thread. So you only have to define the code you want in a separated script and attach it to your Scene or globally to your game's main script

[Mnemonic]

However these are NOT hardware threads. WME does virtual threading for scripts, but the engine itself runs in a single thread.

Oh that would be great I got the impression point'n'click adventure games weren't too popular in China in general. Or am I wrong?
