多个事件的倒数计时器

Question

I've created a very crude system where you ask a builder to complete a task and once that task is complete, the inventory is updated with the outcome of the task. My problem lies in assigning multiple tasks. If task B completes before task A, then task A gets the inventory update rather than task B. I've never played with setInterval and clearInterval so I'm not sure if my problem lies within how I set up a counter or how the inventory gets updated.

Answer 1

I would suggest to use jquery Deferred Objects to be able to set sequence of tasks.

For example, $.ajax() method returns deferred object which has done() property to which you can assign method to be executed when asynchronous call is completed

Thanks for the help but I think I'll go with a solution based off this code:
