Update

xLua doesn't have an update function by itself, but we can fake it. The following script can be added to LuaBehaviour or InteractTriggerX to start a endless looping script.

It is very important though that you call the RemoveSchedule script in the OnDestroy function so that it stops when the weapon is destroyed.

Example​

Updates every 0.3 seconds, and starts after 0.2 seconds


local table = {}

function table:Awake()
    self.scheId = null;

    self.speed = 1;
    self.schedulerInterval = 0.3
    self.timeBeforeStopping = -1
    self.timeBeforeStarting = 0.2
end

function table:Start()
    self.scheId = CL.Scheduler.Create({},
    function(sche, t, s)
        print("im updating!"); 
    end
    , self.schedulerInterval, self.timeBeforeStopping, self.timeBeforeStarting)
    :SetUpdateChannel(CL.Scheduler.UpdateChannel.FixedUpdate)
    :IgnoreTimeScale(true)
    :SetOnStop(function(sche)
        print("Im stopping now")
    end).actionId
end

function table:OnDestroy()
    CL.Scheduler.RemoveSchedule(self.scheId)
end

return Class(nil,nil,table)

FAQ​

Can I stop this after a certain time?​

Just change the self.timeBeforeStopping = -1; to self.timeBeforeStopping = 10;
