So I've picked up coding again and tried to make my own external script in the stripped main.scm

I defined it:

CODE

DEFINE EXTERNAL_SCRIPTS 1 // Use -1 in order not to compile AAA script DEFINE SCRIPT WEATHERCONTROL AT @WEATHERCONTROL // 0

And added the script:

CODE

:WEATHERCONTROL thread 'WEATHERCONTROL' :WEATHERCONTROL1 set_weather 9 01B5: force_weather 1 end_thread jump @WEATHERCONTROL1

I also loaded the script and made it run:

CODE

08A9: load_external_script 0 (WEATHERCONTROL) 0913: run_external_script 0 (WEATHERCONTROL)

It's supposed to simply keep the weather at foggy, number 9. But as I don't know how this thread and script combination actually works I need some help. As soon as I start a new game and change the weather with a cheat it doesn't turn to foggy again. So the problem is that it doesn't loop. Anyone knows how this works?

Isnt the jump after you end the thread useless?

Yeah, I guess you're right. But that doesn't solve my problem.

I didnt say it would. I dont know much about coding.
in anycase, you say you want it to loop, where is the loop? why end thread?
Like I say I really dont know much about coding but isnt this more the idea?

CODE

:WEATHERCONTROL1 wait 10 set_weather 9 01B5: force_weather 1 jump @WEATHERCONTROL1

All yours looks like it does, is sets and forces weather then finishes.

Removing the end_thread and let it loop doesn't work. It simply doesn't change to foggy weather when I use a cheat to change the weather. But when I create them as threads, so no external script, it works just fine.
