A called function may only use suspension (sleep, uiSleep, waitUntil) if it originates in a scheduled environment. If the called function originates in a non-scheduled environment it will return a generic error.
// *** non-scheduled origin *** [] spawn { // *** scheduled scope *** [] call { // *** scheduled scope *** sleep 3; // <- OK hintSilent "Hello World!"; }; }; // *** non-scheduled origin *** [] call { // *** non-scheduled scope*** [] call { // *** non-scheduled scope *** sleep 3; // <- NOT OK hintSilent "Hello World!"; }; }; // *** scheduled origin *** [] spawn { // *** scheduled scope *** [] call { // *** scheduled scope *** sleep 3; // <- OK hintSilent "Hello World!"; }; }; // *** scheduled origin *** [] call { // *** scheduled scope*** [] call { // *** scheduled scope *** sleep 3; // <- OK hintSilent "Hello World!"; }; };

If the code is in non-scheduled scope and contains while-do statement, the code runs only 10,000 times at the maximum, even if the statement makes infinite loop. (ARMA3 Ver. 1.38.128937) // *** non-scheduled origin *** [] call { // *** non-scheduled scope*** [] call { // *** non-scheduled scope *** _a=0; while{_a<15000} do{ _a=_a+1; }; hint str(_a);//10000 }; };
