Closing the console
-
so im trying to run this code
trgt=sim.pmap(6, 188);
sim.partProperty(trgt, "ctype", 1);
sim.framerender(1);
for i=1,0x3ffffffe do
crnt=sim.partProperty(trgt, "ctype")+1;
sim.partProperty(trgt, "ctype", crnt);
sim.framerender(1); end
so that a filt goes through all the colors while a cray is creating crmc and i do have it so that subframe magic is happening so it is happening every frame but when i try to run it, it doesn't work properly as it keeps me in the console and I don't understand how evt.tick works and I've also tried interface.console(false) in front but it still doesn't work. sorry but im a little new to all this (lua and tpt lua api).

sim.framerender doesn't do what you think it does. It's the same as pressing 'f' once, so it will advance the sim a frame the next chance it gets. Which is not while running your script. No simulation work is being done while your script is running, so it's impossible to write a for loop that will do actions between sim frames.
The only way to solve it is to trigger your code in an event like evt.tick.
local trgt = nil
evt.register(evt.TICK, function()
if trgt == nil then trgt = sim.pmap(6, 188)
sim.partProperty(trgt, "ctype", sim.property(trgt, "ctype") + 1)
end)
There's a good start for it, I guess, will increment the ctype by 1 every frame. Probably not what you want though since that's crazy slow, but you can work on adjusting it.
