Title: Does secondary-fired-since work?
Post by: SF-Junky on January 26, 2021, 01:11:16 pm

This SEXP seems not to work. Can anyone confirm that or am I just a little dumb again?

Show us the event, please

Also the FSO version number you are using would be good information too

It seems that it depends on the delay you enter. It only works if you enter a non-zero number.

Code: [Select]


$Formula: ( when
   ( secondary-fired-since "Alpha 1" 1 1 )
   ( send-message
      "#Command"
      "High"
      "AHAHAHA"
   )
)
+Name: Event name
+Repeat Count: 1
+Interval: 1
+Event Log Flags: ( "true" "false" )
Using FSO 20.1.0-20201211

Those sexps can be confusing, but yes that makes sense. If you don't set a number, you're asking "was secondary fired in the last 0 seconds"... which of course it wasn't.

Ah okay. That's why it is secondary-fired-since and not secondary-fired-delay.

Yep. Secondary-fired-delay would check if the secondaries were fired x seconds ago rather than in the last x seconds.
