Repeat wait?

[Rugarus]

Is there some way to pause the code until lets say a global boolean was set to true and then continue running the function's contents?


Like

X = false
repeat wait until X == true {

}

There is a wait function in GUI that allows such behavior.

I think it is the Wait until condition is satisfied, or something.

Seeing as you seem to know code, jass loops are written as

loop
exitwhen x === true
// insert wait here
endloop

Why not use custom real event ?

Generally speaking it is not smart to use multiple triggers.
Gets confusing really quick in a large project.

It's kinda an anti-pattern. It needs to be polled, won't react immediately to the condition being set. Has to use wonky TriggerSleepAction. Needs to be inside a trigger action. You cannot abort it from the outside. The context is prolonged, not releasing local variables. Kills stack behavior.
