Trouble with script in advanced waypoint command

[Zayets]

Tried the whole afternoon but couldn't make it work. Basically I have a group having as an advanced waypoint action Perform Command and then Run script. So far all ok.

Trouble is because I am using clone then the group is basically cloning the code itself and if the new cloned group is called grpn ger 2 the script is obviously not working because the original group is called blue-grp.

Is there a way to get the group name in the advanced waypoint with a script? Something like local name = Group:getName() or something similar ?

Also, if someone can really confirm that schedule function is being cycled every x seconds because I have tried something like

 

mist.scheduleFunction(checkToSpawnAssets,{},timer.getAbsTime() + 60, 3600);

 

and added a message inside function checkToSpawnAssets but the message is shown only once. I know, I wrote getAbsTime but the same result occurs when I use getTime.

You can get the group object which you can use to grab the group name from.

 

local group = ...
local groupName = group:getName()

 

Literally the ... means 'self'. It only works with a script attached to a waypoint and it returns the group object. Which is the same as local group = Group.getByName()

 

Your scheduleFunction will run 60 seconds after it is called and will repeat every hour on the dot.

Thank you for answer Grimes. It looks like I misunderstood the last parameter on the schedule function. So, basically if I add instead of 3600 say 60 then the same function will be repeated every minute, correct?

 

Now, for the group. I had no clue that I can call the selected group like that. Thanks a bunch, you saved me a lot of time :)
