preloadCamera – Talk
This example is confusing to me. Why would you spawn with a waitUntil?? doolittle
spawn in this case has nothing to do with respawning. It merely means to start a new script, check the spawn command in the comref.
Edit: Unless I misunderstood your question, in which case.....sorry.

The example merely means to waituntil preloadcamera returns true. hoz
Right... but the waitUntil is pointless. That's all I mean. --Doolittle 01:23, 22 May 2007 (CEST)
- At best, Spawn is redundant. For waituntil to work, you need to already be in a 'spawned' (sleepable) script.
- Properly typechecked it would probably be a syntax error.
- At worst, it will run the preloadcommand after (if at all) it has proceeded with whatever code is below the waituntil.

The example with waitUntil is bad.
waitUntil will execute the command until condition is true, in this case it will result in multiple preloadCamera commands being issued.

- yeah, fixed it. The command is it's own waitUntil. --Salisan 17:52, 28 June 2007 (CEST)
- Actually, it's correct. The command just works that strangely.. It'll check if everything at the position is ready each time it's executed and doesn't return true until it is. Must be insanely inefficient. --Salisan 18:00, 28 June 2007 (CEST)
ok, if it is a polling function which returns false or true immediately the waitUntil example is just fine

Difference between this and camPreloaded?
Does anyone know the difference between this command and the camPreloaded one? Aside from the obvious (input data types).
