[Question] For Loop with Multiple Users

Hello,

So right now I have a bot that sends a user through a for loop of "/teleport"s that goes on for a bit when they use a command. But right now only one user can be in the loop at a time; if someone else uses the command while another is in the for loop, the bot waits until the other player is out of the for loop to push the next person in. What I want is for multiple people to be able to go through the loop at the same time. How would I do this?

That, or he could create a loop that constantly wasted time checking to see if someone wanted to get sent in a loop, AND receive messages. Seems unlikely tho.

Okay so here's what you gotta do.

First you got your main thread that listens for commands and all that.

But then

when your bot hears the teleport command

it fires off a new thread and tells it to deal with teleporting the nub who said the teleport command

and then it goes back to listening.

That's the basic idea, anyway.

Re: [Question] For Loop with Multiple Users

If you're scared of threads, make a list of people to teleport, whenever somebody says the command, add the person in the list.
In the for-loop you loop through the list of people to teleport and you teleport them.

Re: [Question] For Loop with Multiple Users

^See, I thought of that
but that still rqeuires the loop... and it'll still throw things out of place.
But a good idea.
