I'm trying to find out if my module idea is possible, by having dissapearing and reappearing platforms.

In nwn2 for example, 6 seconds was how fast a heartbeat was and therefore how fast you make this happen.

How fast could I make things dissapear/reappear in this engine however, how precise can it be time wise?

Use DelayEvent. You can choose the interval.



You could start it going in the area script with a line like this:



HandleEvent(Event(EVENT_TYPE_CUSTOM_EVENT_01), R"<yourscript>.ncs");



Then in <yourscript>.ncs:



event ev = GetCurrentEvent();

float fInterval = <insert interval here>;



if (GetEventType(ev) == EVENT_TYPE_CUSTOM_EVENT_01) {



// put some code here to make it disappear



DelayEvent(fDelay, OBJECT_SELF, EVENT_TYPE_CUSTOM_EVENT_02, "<yourscript>.ncs");



} else {



// put some code here to make it reappear



DelayEvent(fDelay, OBJECT_SELF, EVENT_TYPE_CUSTOM_EVENT_01, "<yourscript>.ncs");

}





So it just alternates between a disappear event and a reappear event every fInterval seconds. I don't know what code you'd use to actually do the stuff... if it's just a matter of setting a placeable active or inactive then you could just use an event integer rather than two separate events...



Hope this helps.

Any time you like. Using InitHeartbeat(object,decimalTimeInSeconds) or DelayEvent(decimalTimeInSeconds,event,object), you can specify 0.1 seconds, 10.0 seconds, etc. The former will repeat a EVENT_TYPE_HEARTBEAT2 event on the object it is used on, while the latter will fire a single event of whatever type (though you could set up the script handling this to send another delay event, etc.).

Hmm not quite sure I understand all of this but I will see when I actually do the script if it comes together. The high precision time is awesome! Arcade style platform sprints there will be!
