HELP！！lua script and "open editor" problem。

[butterhuang]

When I excute script in editor, the output will be blocking。
During excuting, I can't see only output log which I use octane.common.print or print function to print in the script。

If the script exit, the all output log can display in the Output pannel together。

My script will excute with a long time。 Even I output the log to a log file，the output content still be blocked unitl the script exit。

How can I avoid this？

Yes, when a script is executing, the user interface is disable. This is by design, we don't want users fiddling around with the nodes while a script is executing because this can lead to unexpected behaviour.

You cannot avoid this. Some users work around this by displaying a progress bar.

cheers,

yeah, you can just block the editor toolbar and input area, but now the output area is blocked. it is not writable!

You might want to consider using octane.gui.dispatchGuiEvents(1) to flush output to the output window of the script editor. Something like the following:

Code: Select all

local ffi = require("ffi")
if ffi.os ~= "Windows" then
    print("This script is only for windows")
    return
end

ffi.cdef [[
void Sleep(int ms);
int poll(struct pollfd *fds, unsigned long nfds, int timeout);
]]

function sleep(t)
    ffi.C.Sleep(t*1000)
end

co = coroutine.create(function()
    for i=0,100 do 
        if i == 50 then
            coroutine.yield()
        end
        print(i)
        io.flush()
    end
end)


coroutine.resume(co)
octane.gui.dispatchGuiEvents(3)
sleep(5)

coroutine.resume(co)

such an ugly solution.

Use this line only:

Code: Select all

octane.gui.dispatchGuiEvents(3)
