Ron,
I am fairly new to the mindscript language as well, but I have done substantial
research into this problem as I was encountering the exact same problem. From
what I have found, you cannot do user subroutines in mindscript FOR THE RCX.
User soubroutines are allowed for the Spybot but not the RCX. Open up the help
from Scripted and check out the script help for "sub". What I have done to get
around this is to create tasks, and events to tell me when the task is done.
Here is an example:
program {
var SoundDone = 0 // variable to use to check if task is done
event SoundTaskDone when SoundDone = 1 // event to watch for end of task
main {
// Do stuff here
start MySound // start task
wait until SoundTaskDone
stop MySound // not really needed in this case
}
task MySound{
// Do some more stuff
SoundDone = 1 // when done set event variable to 1
}
}
It isn't the best solution, but it does work. Hope this helps.
John
