I have a repeat loop and send a message to another handler from within the
repeat loop with parameters, which change every loop.
If using a function call instead of the message, the main handler would wait
until the function returns back, but when sending a message, the loop is
running on. So what happens now, if the sub handler takes "much longer" as
the main handler and the loop turns hundred of times. Will all the send
messages to the sub handler with the changed parameters kept in the
messagequeue safely and being processed, even after the main handler has
finished already? Are there any limitations in message numbers or size of
this messagequeue?
When you send a message like this:
repeat 100
send "DoSomething" to btn "SomeScripts"
end repeat
...it executes DoSomething and only returns to the calling handler when
DoSomething finishes.
But if you use this form:
repeat 100
send "DoSomething" to btn "SomeScripts" in 10 millisecs
end repeat
...then the repeat loop will continue, and DoSomething (like all timer
messages) will only be fired once the engine hits idle.
Are you using the "send...in <time>" form?
If not, we may need to see your scripts to figure out what's going on there.
