[HELP] How to make a infinite loop function.

[xuaNN]

what do I need to do for a function to work continuously?

[IIYAMA]

I am very sure that you do not want to make a infinity loop. It is a very bad thing after all.

 

This is an infinity loop:

while true do

end

Never ending execution of code, which at the end gets abort because the game starts to freeze.

 

And this is what you probably want:

setTimer(function () end, 1000, 0)

Executing the function once per second.

Depends on what you want to do

[xuaNN]

I wanna make a health checker. If player health under 15hp,

The camera starts to shake. I actually did the coding. But i can't make the check function. There is code;

local hp = getElementHealth( localPlayer )

function healthshake ()
if hp <= 15 then 
setCameraShakeLevel(255)
   else if hp > 15 then
setCameraShakeLevel(0)
     end
  end
end

setTimer(healthshake,500,0)

move line 1, in the healthshake function.

The value of the variable `hp` doesn't change by itself. It has to be done every 500ms.

For this you can use onClientPlayerDamage event to check the player's health each time they take damage.

Something like this

function camShake ( attacker, weapon, bodypart, loss )
    local health = getElementHealth( localPlayer ) -- get the player's health
    -- check health
    -- set shake etc...
end
addEventHandler ( "onClientPlayerDamage", localPlayer, camShake )
