T2d Object Creation

#1 There is an article on this in TDN however, TDN won't load for me right now so i can't give you a direct link. but its under the RTS example, and its about spawning units.

#2 Thanks, just checked it out and it helped. Also, I want to spawn things on a schedule, every few seconds or so starting when the game is loaded. How would I go about doing this?

#3 1) Open up your TGB Reference pdf
2) Press Ctrl-F
3) type in 'schedule'

#4 0 instances found when I do that

I am using

schedule(2000, $plane, "launch");

for my function.

To my understanding that should have the $plane run the launch function every 2 seconds.

But all that does is have it run that function once after 2 seconds and not keep looping it. Should I put a condition statement in my launch function to run the schedule so it will keep running it until a certain condition is met?

#5 If you want it to have rescheduled, the called function must reschedule it. It won't loop on its own (endless loop -> bad idea)

#6 Im trying to call this function

function planegroup::createMissile(%this)

using this schedule

%this.schedule(1000, $plane, "plane.createmissile();");

and it won't recognize it at all, anyone know why this is?
