question about threading

[gokitty1199 19]

with the new scripting language, for example lets say i wanted to have a while loop run. would that while loop interfere/hold up anything else from running, or do you have to make a new thread for it? i saw something regarding createThread and i was curious.

If you want to have a while loop with pauses in between each call, try to use the CallLater function and set the time in ms you want to have and repeating to true. It would be

GetGame().GetCallQueue(CALL_CATEGORY_GAMEPLAY).CallLater(this.OnUpdate, 3000, true);

This will call the OnUpdate function in this class every 3 seconds.

I don't know much about threading in DayZ. You can try to find it out ^^
