Stack overflow

[faldo 6]

How do i check a value every 0.5 seconds to see if it has changed, without getting a stack overflow? Maybe there is some way to reset the "Recusion level"? :S

Func Check()    
    Sleep(500)
        if $Value > 1 Then
            nextfunction()
        Else
            check()
        EndIf
EndFunc

First of all, you are calling the Check function recursively as long as $Value less or equal 1 and this is done until you called it the maximal times.

How is the variable $Value set ?

How is the variable $Value set ?

The value is gathered from outside the script and is changeing all the time, when it becomes a 2 or over, this script should react and do something else.

Is there a way to do such "check" nonrecursively?

[w0uter 1]

Func Check()

While $Value <> 1 Then

sleep(500)

Wend

nextfunction()

EndFunc

another option might be adlib for example

AdlibEnable("Check",500)

Func Check()    
 if $Value > 1 Then
  AdlibDisable()
  nextfunction()
 EndIf
EndFunc

Thanx w0uter, "while" worked good... adlib still gives the recusion error.
