Hey There Everybody!

I'm really sorry if this has been asked before, but I tried a search and couldn't find the info I was looking for... Basically, I'm coming back to InnerSpace after a long time off and I can't remember if there's a function or a method to a Session object that can tell me if a session or the game process attached to the session is not responding (i.e. has crashed). If anybody could let me know, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks!

There's not, but here's something you can do...

Send an instruction to the session you want to test, to stop/reset a timer that would otherwise kill it.

At least there's a work around... It's wierd, though. I could have sworn that a Not Responding popped up in the titlebar of the window. But maybe I'm just on too much crack.

Thanks!

How would that even work? If you've got a script running in a session that after, say 5 minutes kills / closes the session and you send a message to it to flip a boolean... If the session has crashed... Oh wait nevermind!

I am being crackheaded... Have the session send out the variable basically like a ping and have a script on the Uplink. I've got it now! I get it eventually, it just takes me a while.

Thanks Again, Lax!
