Delay Script

[Airwaves Man]

Hey guys,

Im tying to delay a script. That means my script tests if a player is near 500m from a defined position. If a player is in the 500m radius the script will stop and should go on when no player is in the 500m radius. But I dont get that working. The script stops and does not continue after the player leaves the area. That is the beginning to the script and it should test only on the beginning that no player is near the position. After checking that no player ist near and continuing with the rest of the script it should not test again. Can someone help me out?

_coords = [14514,10424,0];

_timer = true;
while {_timer} do {
_playerNear = {isPlayer _x} count (_coords nearEntities ["CAManBase", 500]) > 0;
 waituntil {!_playerNear};
_timer=false;
};

Rest of the script

try:

_mission = true;
_playerPresent = false;
_timer = true;
_coords = [14514,10424,0];

while {_mission} do {
    sleep 10;
    
    {if((isPlayer _x) && (_x distance _coords <= 500)) then {_playerPresent = true};}forEach playableUnits;//check for nearest players
    
};

if (_playerPresent) then {

waitUntil{{isPlayer _x && _x distance _coords > 500  } count playableunits > 0}; 
_timer=false;
};

Thx but it does not work. The script does not continue after the player leaves the 500m area.

Definitely need to see the script to be able to help.

maybe if u need stop the script if thers players into the area.. then

//create a function with all your units,vehicles...

fn_spawn_all {
//create all here
};

_mission = true;
_playerPresent = false;
_timer = false;

_coords = [14514,10424,0];


while {_mission} do {
    sleep 10;
    
    {
    if((isPlayer _x) && (_x distance _coords <= 500)) then {_playerPresent = true};
    }forEach playableUnits;//check for nearest players
    
};

if (_playerPresent) then {

//Deletevehicle _i dont know... all into fn_spawnall  or maybe you wanna freeze they.

waitUntil{{isPlayer _x && _x distance _coords > 500  } count playableunits > 0}; 
_timer=true;
      _playerPresent = false;
};

if (_timer) then {
call fn_spawn_all;
};

Big thx @juandayz and thx @BigEgg for your offer.

that code works as well:

 

_mission = true;
_playerPresent = false;
_timer = true;

_coords = [14514,10424,0];

while {_mission} do {
    sleep 10;
    
    {
    if((isPlayer _x) && (_x distance _coords <= 500)) then {
	_playerPresent = true
	} else {
	_mission = false;
	_timer = false;
	};
    }forEach playableUnits;//check for nearest players
    
};

if (_playerPresent) then {

waitUntil{{isPlayer _x && _x distance _coords > 500  } count playableunits > 0};
_timer=false;
};

if !(_timer) then {
      script code
      };
