My script is supposed to prevent spamming of Play(), but in game it still spams (which is bad because Playing an effect shader stacks, causes frame rate drops).

Scriptname TestingLoop Extends ObjectReferenceVisualEffect Property Derp  Auto  EffectShader Property Derpette  Auto  Event OnInit()	 RegisterForSingleUpdate(0.1)EndEventEvent OnUpdate()Int Toggle = 0If Game.GetPlayer().IsGhost() == True && Toggle == 0	 Derpette.Play(Game.GetPlayer())	 Toggle = 1EndifIf Game.GetPlayer().IsGhost() == False && Toggle == 1	 Derpette.Stop(Game.GetPlayer())	 Toggle = 0EndIfRegisterForSingleUpdate(0.1)EndEvent

Any help?

[Edit] Oh wait, I know why. The OnUpdate() block keeps turning Toggle to 0. Here's the fixed script:

Scriptname TestingLoop Extends ObjectReferenceVisualEffect Property Derp  Auto  EffectShader Property Derpette  Auto  Int Toggle = 0Event OnInit()	 RegisterForSingleUpdate(0.1)EndEventEvent OnUpdate()If Game.GetPlayer().IsGhost() == True && Toggle == 0	 Derpette.Play(Game.GetPlayer())	 Toggle = 1EndifIf Game.GetPlayer().IsGhost() == False && Toggle == 1	 Derpette.Stop(Game.GetPlayer())	 Toggle = 0EndIfRegisterForSingleUpdate(0.1)EndEvent

Try:

ScriptName TestingLoop Extends ObjectReferenceActor Property PlayerREF AutoVisualEffect Property Derp AutoEffectShader Property Derpette AutoBool bToggleEvent OnInit()	RegisterForSingleUpdate(0.1)EndEventEvent OnUpdate()	If bToggle != PlayerREF.IsGhost()		bToggle = !bToggle		If bToggle			Derpette.Play(PlayerREF)		Else			Derpette.Stop(PlayerREF)		EndIf	Endif	RegisterForSingleUpdate(0.1)EndEvent

It'll be 'cheaper' as there's only one 'If' every iteration and 'cause a PlayerREF property is less expensive than using a function, particularly if at such tight intervals.

I always thought properties slowed down the script, and that functions were faster?

I recall Pap's pop, SmkViper, stating otherwise. *digs up post*

Alright thanks.
