Wy does nothing happen there?

action blade()
{
while (!player) {wait (1);}
while (vec_dist (player.x, my.x) > 1000)
{
time_factor = 0.1;
}
wait (1);
}

Why should anything happen? If the player's far away from the blade, time_factor gets set to 0.1.

After that, it never gets set back to 1. But that's not the main problem: the main problem is that you haven't given us any info.

What do you expect to happen? Why do you expect that to happen? What other relevant code do you have? Why didn't you use the [code] tags? Stuff like that.

Cheers,

EDIT: Good point, Xarthor. Blackchuck: If your program never crashed, then the player was never more than 1000 quants away from the blade.

Maybe because your wait(1) is not in the while loop?

I made a code that a blade moves to the player very fast.
and with a timefactor it`s cooler.

Yes, I'm sure it is. But what isn't happening? You asked "Why does nothing happen"? Without telling us what's meant to happen. Showing us some code doesn't count as an explanation, because if it's not doing what you want, then the code is wrong, and so the code can't tell us what you want either. Did you make the change Xarthor mentioned so you don't freeze in an infinite loop?

When you seek help you need to be clear. I'll assume it's meant to make everything slow down when the blade is within 1000 quants of the player. But you haven't shown us your other code. Do you know how time_factor works?

Nothing will slow down if you don't multiply their speeds by time_step.

I don't want to put you down at all. I really want to be helpful. So please make your questions clear and show people what your problem is, what you're expecting, why you're expecting it, and relevant code (in [code] tags).

i guess he meant


while (vec_dist (player.x, my.x) < 1000)

instead of

while (vec_dist (player.x, my.x) > 1000)

Oh, thank you Quadraxas.
I whant that everithing slows down, aslong that the player is near the blade, also;
"while (vec_dist (player.x, my.x) > 1000)"
But wenn my player is in reach, noching happens.

this means outside of the range: while (vec_dist (player.x, my.x) > 1000)

you need to use "<"

make sure you are close enough. and make sure you are using time_step for movements.

That made my day....excuse me, low blood sugar.

Now it`s the hole time in slow motion, even when my player is out of range.
