how to get a coords via code

[whowhywhat]

I'm starting to work on a new feature for plus emu r1 and will be planning to release it when done but before that i have one question i need help with, how would i get a script to wait till something is reached? a little example of what i mean

if the player enters :start
the script will wait for the player to reach x
then continue.

so far my method dose this
player types :start
runs if statment to check the players x is equal to my set location
script returns location not reached.
(if i stand on the tile, and then type :start, it returns location reached)

if this is in the wrong section i'm sorry
if it helps i could add my code i have so far.

While statement instead of IF
I would add a timer inside the while loop because it will freeze your thread until it's reached. May also prevent users from being able to talk or anything else -

Your best bet is to create a new thread and turn the thread ON and set a timeout. If timeout is reached it says "You didn't go to the starting position"

You can look at tasks already used in plusemu in the Game.cs file

This is a very bad way to code this (In reference to how you determine if it is a game room)

Create a table called "rooms_events"
Columns should be:
room_id INT 11 0 Primary Key
x_tile INT 11 0 DEFAULT 0
y_tile INT 11 0 DEFAULT 0
active INT 11 0 DEFAULT 1

You then should create an object called something along the lines of "RoomEvent.cs" and it should contain the data roomId, intX, intY and Active

Then create a method inside of Game.cs and load all of the database entries into a Dictionary. Then reference that dictionary based on the room ID and it will return the RoomEvent object

So the code will be almost like:

RoomEvent event = PlusEnvironment.GetGame().GetRoomEventByRoomId(1);

if(event == null)
//No Event Found

if(!event.active)
//No Active Event

event.intX = X Tile
event.intY = Y Tile
