Continuous Background Script

[Anonymous]

 Hi, all.

I'm trying to create a script that runs continuously in the background occasionally performing operations that affect the editor. The issue that I keep running into is that it appears that the script runs on the same thread as the editor so when I run it I can't use the editor until the script is finished. This is a problem since my script runs for the duration that the editor is open and ideally should run alongside a user interacting with the graphical interface. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to achieve the functionality that I'm looking for? I haven't been able to find anything that helps, though perhaps I have been looking in the wrong places.

Thanks!

Hello,

Please take a look at the topic "Working in a separate thread". The "Custom Events" would work for you in the scenario.
