GPC2 scripting printf spamming the output panel

[fullerorb7]

printF, is there any way to get 1 result back, NOT 5 results for .950ms and 5 results for .951ms and 5 results for .999ms...etc

i want to use printFor to give me an idea if my code ran correctly without testing @xbox
it cant be just me?
Theres like 100 gigabazillion printFs going on in the background,,, thats GR8, but i want to limit that to display just 1 per MS.
i mean i can code work arounds to set the current time as a variable and have a check to make sure its at least 10 seconds past the current time.... but with the amount of printFs i want to add in, i would be flooding my page with printf time checkers.
im having issues getting my actual code to work. i want to figure this out on my own... i just need printf to work right.

maybe i can add in specific time windows for every code to pass.
like only allow code to start if conditions met & if over 1000ms, but not over 1006ms.
but thats just rediculous.

maybe dedicated combos just for printsf?
why does it seem like my same combo is running multiple times in the background, but only executing the code of 1 combo?
why is this only seem to be an issue for me?

i cant count the number of printF's because it floods my screen to the point everything that was above it autodeletes itself

[fullerorb7]

perfect example.

i want this beyond simple code to only display 1 printf

if (get_val(BUTTON_9)) {
printf("StartWiredReflexesC");
}

does everyone else get like 100 prints?

use "event_active(BUTTON_9)" instead of that get_val

[fullerorb7]

use "event_active(BUTTON_9)" instead of that get_val

thanks a ton!!!
get_, is_, and time_ function in a way that will cause my printf's to spam out of control. GR8
event_ and Check_ dont cause printf spam


i made this example code trying to teach myself... and im running into a issue where printF spams forever.
shouldnt it only spam once because time_active can only hit the 5000ms mark 1 time?

Code: Select all

#pragma METAINFO("gdzxggnb", 1, 0, "fullerorb7")
 
int test;
init {(test) = 0;}
 
main {
    test = time_active(BUTTON_9);
    if (event_active(BUTTON_9)) {
      printf("Time Active: %d", test);
    }
 
    if ((test) = 5000) {
    printf("Time Active: %d", test);
    }
}

Your operators are wrong. Should be == 5000

Code: Select all

int test;
main {
    if(is_active(BUTTON_9)) {
        test = time_active(BUTTON_9);
    }
    if(test == 5000) {
        printf("Time Active: %d", test);
    }
}

I actually remember thinking about the double equal sign, but got side tracked before trying it.
Sorry I'm a noob
