CLEO Help [LUA] Cant use any Loops in command, crashes

[Skyfer]

how to add loop in a cmd code, my game crash when i add any kind of loop in the code like
while true do or repeat until
example:

function main()
  if not isSampLoaded() or not isSampfuncsLoaded() then return end
  while not isSampAvailable() do wait(100) end
  sampRegisterChatCommand("mycmd", cmd_mycmd)
  wait(-1)
end

function cmd_mycmd(arg)
  if #arg == 0 then

        sampAddChatMessage("{{FF0000}Empty", -1)       
        
  else
        sampAddChatMessage("{{FF0000}loop", -1)
        while true do
        sampAddChatMessage("{{FF0000}loop", -1)
        
        
        end
        

  end
end

well 'while' is kinda fast loop.. which can cause lag/game freezes during playing.. when u left it without sleep(delay_ms)..
and if ik good in last ugbase threads there was discussion about sleep in cmds.. u cant use sleep inside cmds.. if Iam right so maybe just make some function which will proceed your function and just call it in cmd ...
But maybe just forgot about this last one.. this is lua code so maybe i just know this thing from cleo post..
basically do sleep inside while cycle and u should be fine. or in your case sleep is wait() if i see good..
so basically code will look like this:

function main()
  while not isSampLoaded() or not isSampfuncsLoaded() or not isSampAvailable() do wait(100) end
  sampRegisterChatCommand("mycmd", cmd_mycmd)
end

function cmd_mycmd(arg)
  if #arg == 0 then
        sampAddChatMessage("{FF0000}Empty", -1)     
  else
        while true do
            sampAddChatMessage("{FF0000}loop", -1)
            wait(1000)
        end
  end
end

Something like this?

function main()
    while not isSampAvailable() do wait(0) end

    sampRegisterChatCommand("cmd", cmd)
end

function cmd(arg)
    value = tonumber(arg)

    if value == nil then
        sampAddChatMessage('Empty', -1)
    else
        sampAddChatMessage('Loop Started', -1)
        lua_thread.create(function()
            while true do wait(0)
                sampAddChatMessage('Loop', -1)
                wait(5000)
            end
        end)
    end
end

but idk why you even want use loops in cmds.. atleast put them into thread.. to make it run smoothly.. this will send message every 1s after entering cmd with using some arg.. and every 1s game freezes..

function main()
    while not isSampAvailable() do wait(0) end

    sampRegisterChatCommand("cmd", cmd)
end

function cmd(arg)
    value = tonumber(arg)

    if value == nil then
        sampAddChatMessage('Empty', -1)
    else
        sampAddChatMessage('Loop Started', -1)
        lua_thread.create(function()
            while true do wait(0)
                sampAddChatMessage('Loop', -1)
                wait(5000)
            end
        end)
    end
end

exactly what iam talking about xD lua_thread.create well done.

Thanks so much guys love you all
the codes you guys gave didnt work, but i did the create thread thing on the old code and it works

function main()
  if not isSampLoaded() or not isSampfuncsLoaded() then return end
  while not isSampAvailable() do wait(100) end
  sampRegisterChatCommand("mycmdtest", cmd_mycmd)
  wait(-1)
end

function cmd_mycmd(arg)
  if #arg == 0 then
     sampAddChatMessage('Empty', -1)
  else

    lua_thread.create(function()
        while true do wait(0)
            sampAddChatMessage('Loop', -1)
            wait(1000)   
        end
    end)


  end
end

Actually to use 'wait' out the main function you need to use the 'lua_thread.create(function())'

Anyway, you're welcome =)
