: I'v been working on the scrolling sky problem and I have a few ideas.
: 1. Two different cogs, 1 handles scrolling, the other tells it to stop:
: SendMessage(Sleep(time), cogname)
: 2. One cog which sleeps by itself after activation:
: Sleep(time)
: 3. You mentioned "StopSky()" Is that a guess or is it a real verb?
: StopSky(name, time)?
: Do you think any of these would work? Are there any errors in the first example? (I'm not sure about the whole SendMessage thing)
NOT A REAL VERB!!! Just a guess. there are a lot of verbs lec never used... Of course, you can just make it never scroll in the first place. :) and send message needs 4 params, just make them zero.
SendMessage(REALMESSAGE-User0, cog, 0, 0, 0, 0);
