Hmm.  Interesting.  I did not expect that the when sexp would function that way.  How does the every-time sexp work, karajorma?

Goob, you wouldn't be trying to slip a new feature in during a code-freeze now would you?

Hmmm. Didn't work. It just kept repeating the message same as before. I'm going to have to experiment a little with this to see if I can get it to work.  The problem could be due to the speed at which the event is repeating (I didn't set any delay so it could be that which is causing the problem).

At the very least I can knock up a mission to test this every-time thing a little more

Goober, if you can get this working, I shall build a small shrine to you.

No shrines, please.

Here's a mission that plays around with set-ship-position: you start out facing a meson bomb, and you can press 1 to teleport it left and 2 to teleport it right.  I needed only two sexps to make it work.  It seems that key-pressed and key-reset are a little wonky when used with "when"... not sure why.  "Every-time" works much better.

EDIT: For some fun, try shooting a missle at the meson bomb and then teleporting it away at the last second.  It's kinda neat to see the missle swerve around and come back.

This is interesting. The problem I was getting may not have been due to when.

When I added a message to Goober's mission and it instantly started repeating itself over and over. The flaw may actually have been in the send-message SEXP and not in when at all.

I'll test the mission with when in a little bit.

anyway if you want to see what I mean have a look at this mission
