Re: coroutines

[William Roper <lacutis@...>]

Hello,

When I first started using Lua, I had the same problem, I'm still not
entirely sure how to set up something like that with coroutines. What
I have ended up doing was setting up an event based processing system
for lua objects and players. Basically each ai frame I loop through
the players and handle any events they have pending, then I loop
through non-player entities and handle their events. If I want
something to happen in the future I just put the event in a queue
(table) with a timer that gets counted down. When it reaches 0, I
process and dump it.

If I get around to going over it again, maybe I could write up a
tutorial or something on it.

Ryan.
