Multiple Events

[Randomness]

It's just a minor modification to the examples of maca but I changed my event checks like this:

//Checks before starting an event

if (isNil "EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING") then {
        EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING = 0;
};
if (isNil "MAX_EPOCH_EVENTS") then {
        MAX_EPOCH_RUNNING = 5;
};

 
// Check if there are too many events running
if ((!_debug) and {EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING > MAX_EPOCH_EVENTS}) exitWith {
    diag_log format ["Already %1 active events",MAX_EPOCH_EVENTS];
};
EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING = EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING + 1;

//EventHappening here


//AT bottom:
EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING = EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING - 1;

It's not much, but if you want to have several custom events running at the same time, but never more than a set ammount, this might be a good help for you :)

Looks cool but I don't know enough about the scripting.  Where would 'MAX_EPOCH_EVENTS' be set?

WHere you set all the other epoch variables too

Please I want to know if I'm doing well, thanks

Look for:

if (isNil "EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING") then {
EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING = false;
};


Remplace to:

if (isNil "EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING") then {
        EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING = 0;
};
if (isNil "MAX_EPOCH_EVENTS") then {
        EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING = 5;
};

Look for:

// Check for another event running
if (EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING) exitWith {
diag_log("Event already running");
};


Remplace to:


// Check if there are too many events running
if (EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING > MAX_EPOCH_EVENTS and !_debug) exitWith {
    diag_log format ["Already %1 active events",MAX_EPOCH_EVENTS];
};
EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING = EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING + 1;



if (isNil "MAX_EPOCH_EVENTS") then {
        EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING = 5;
};



And finally add in the end this:


//AT bottom:
EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING = EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING - 1;

Sorry seems i made a little mistake there:

 

This:

if (isNil "MAX_EPOCH_EVENTS") then {
        EPOCH_EVENT_RUNNING = 5;
};

should be

if (isNil "MAX_EPOCH_EVENTS") then {
        MAX_EPOCH_EVENTS = 5;
};
