Description

Description:

Runs given statement every frame.

ⓘ

Since Arma 3 v1.57 a stackable version of this EH is available: EachFrame

In order to keep compatibility between official and community content the functions BIS_fnc_addStackedEventHandler and BIS_fnc_removeStackedEventHandler should be used instead.

Syntax

Syntax:

onEachFrame statement

Parameters:

statement: String or Code

Return Value:

Nothing

Examples

Example 1:

onEachFrame { hintSilent str position player}; //Hints position every frame

Example 2:

Private variables defined outside of onEachFrame scope are not inherited: _myvar = "bob"; myvar = "bill"; onEachFrame {hintSilent str [_myvar, myvar]}; //Result: [any,"bill"]

Example 3:

Only one onEachFrame loop can exist at any time: onEachFrame {player sideChat "first"}; onEachFrame {player sideChat "second"}; //Result: "second","second","second"..."second" Note how "first" never gets shown even though it precedes "second". This is because script thread is executing within the same frame and first onEachFrame is overwritten before it has a chance to execute its statement.

Example 4:

Script suspension is not permitted within onEachFrame scope: onEachFrame {sleep 1}; //ERROR!!!
