Hello Community,

 

i got here a little problem.

Because i use a Progressbar (Called "timerBarPool"), i have to refresh it often.          (timer bar pool from RAGENativUI. scroll down to see why i used RAGEnativUI)

 

Now i want to use a Task from Taskinvoker:

Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Tasks.EnterVehicle(searchedCar, -1, EnterVehicleFlags.DoNotEnter);

But because this is not everything i wrote in this script the Game just Aborts the ongoing Task because of the next command.

 

So i need to use  "  .WaitForCompletion(); "   :

Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Tasks.EnterVehicle(searchedCar, -1, EnterVehicleFlags.DoNotEnter).WaitForCompletion();

now my script waits until the task is completed, wich is what it should do but...  not what i wanted. 

because of the ".WaitForCompletion();" Argument my ProgressBar disappears. Why? Well it can't refresh.

 

 

So i decided to use a while that will execute the commands i need until he is finished with the Task:

var taskProgress = Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Tasks.EnterVehicle(searchedCar, -1, EnterVehicleFlags.DoNotEnter).Status;
while (taskProgress == TaskStatus.Preparing)
{
	taskProgress = Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Tasks.CurrentTaskStatus;

	Game.DisplaySubtitle(Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Tasks.CurrentTaskStatus.ToString());
	timerBarPool.Draw();
	GameFiber.Yield();
}

But even tho that "CurrentTaskStatus" is always on "Preparing" wich i totally cant understand,

it loops in the while because the "CurrentTaskStatus" is not changing. 

 

 

So i tried this:

I added

var taskProgress = Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Tasks.EnterVehicle(searchedCar, -1, EnterVehicleFlags.DoNotEnter).Status;
while (taskProgress == TaskStatus.Preparing)
{
	Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Tasks.EnterVehicle(searchedCar, -1, EnterVehicleFlags.DoNotEnter); 				// HERE IS WHAT I CHANCED
	taskProgress = Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Tasks.CurrentTaskStatus;

	Game.DisplaySubtitle(Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Tasks.CurrentTaskStatus.ToString());
	timerBarPool.Draw();
	GameFiber.Yield();
}

so now my Player just stays in the first Taskframe because it executes the Task every time and that means it restarts.

 

 

So this is my summary:

- i cant do little things while the task is working -> WaitForCompletion.

- i cant execute some other command because that will abort the task.

And

- I cant tell him if my task is ongoing that it just keep going.

 

Conclusion: 

I cant do anything...?

 

 

PS: Yes. i could use the LSPDFR Progressbar and add a timout. But due to a lack of documentation i have no idea how to use the

 LSPD_First_Response.Engine.UI.TimerBarBase

If you know how to use BarTimerBar and TimerBarBase you would realy help me.

Added information

I think that Status is currently broken and always returns Preparing (@PNWParksFan had a similar issue recently iirc). You can try to use WaitForCompletion in a new GameFiber since that way it won't block your current thread. Spawn a new fiber and run the task logic there. Alternatively, spawn a new fiber and do all the timer bar logic there. Note that it is perfectly safe to share variables between fibers since they are ticked one after another.

yes it does. i just checked it.

 

I am currently doing the enter vehicle part in a new GameFiber.

but i get the same result. 

GameFiber.StartNew(delegate {
	Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Tasks.EnterVehicle(searchedCar, -1, EnterVehicleFlags.DoNotEnter).WaitForCompletion();
});

the game is not able to execute:

timerBarPool.Draw();

 

everytime i execute EnterVehicle with .WaitForCompletion();

the timerBarPool disapear until the task is done.

Solution

 

Thanks to @TheUniT who is helping me this whole week with my development problems, 

he just tried to put the Progressbar in a new GameFiber just as @LMS said:

That Solution worked perfectly fine.

internal static void ProgressBarLoop()
{
  GameFiber.StartNew(delegate
  {
    while (CurrentlyRunning)
    {
      timerBarPool.Draw();
      GameFiber.Yield();
    }
  });
}

 

Thank you guy's
