Inconsistent running of Lua scripts

[severniae]

Hi, 

I have a strange problem..

I'm finding with some scripts, ones that appear to work fine, randomly...don't..

For example, I have one script that's only function is to call two other scripts - sometimes, when I load this script, it functions, calls the other two scripts in turn and they load fine. Other times, it just exits for apparently no reason before completing its tasks.. the same goes for a few other scripts I am using...

Example script:

"

function CallScripts()
ipc.sleep(2000)
ipc.runlua("DC6_MP_CONTROL")
ipc.sleep(50)
ipc.runlua("DC6_RPM_CONTROL")
ipc.sleep(1000)
end

CallScripts()
ipc.sleep(250)
ipc.exit()

"

Here is the output for the log - same script ran twice - one time it works, the next not, no change to the scripts between executions...:

********* LUA: "DC6_WATCHENGINES" Log [from FSUIPC version 7.2.1] *********

The first execution of the script started at timestamp 1872344. The second execution started at 1872469, which 125ms later. As the first execution of the script was still running when you ran it again, the thread with for first execution was terminated. You can only ever have a script running once - if you try to run it again and it is already running, the current running instance will terminated.

Also seems a strange script.... You don't need the ipc.exit() as the script will exit anyway, and you don't need the function call (or delays). The following script would do the same:

ipc.runlua("DC6_MP_CONTROL")
ipc.sleep(50)
ipc.runlua("DC6_RPM_CONTROL")
