well I figured out what the problem was in my script, I wanted to open one timer, count down, close it then open another. here is the complete dual timers if anyone is interested. pretty cool if i do say so myself.
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <Date.au3>
Global $timer = TimerInit()
Global $timer2 = TimerInit()
Global $Secs, $Mins, $Hour, $Time, $Time2, $Secs2, $Mins2, $Hour2
Dim $SleepTime = 43000
Dim $SleepTime2 = (43000)
Func SleepTimer()
AdlibEnable("Timer", 50)
Create()
While winexists ($sleeptimer)
$sTime= $time
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
Select
Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
GUIDelete ($sleeptimer)
Return
EndSelect
If $sTime = "00:00:00" Then
GUIDelete ($Sleeptimer)
Return
EndIf
Wend
Timer()
sleep ($SleepTime)
EndFunc
func Create()
Global $sleeptimer = GUICreate("Sleep Time Left (Session 1)",240, 50)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("00:00:00", 10,10)
GUISetState(@SW_Show, $sleeptimer)
EndFunc
Func Timer()
_TicksToTime($SleepTime - Int(TimerDiff($Timer)), $Hour, $Mins, $Secs )
Global $a = Int(TimerDiff($Timer)); save how much is subtracted through TimerDiff *This was the Key*
Local $sTime = $Time; save current time to be able to test and avoid flicker..
$Time = StringFormat("%02i:%02i:%02i", $Hour, $Mins, $Secs)
If $sTime <> $Time Then ControlSetText("Sleep", "", "Static1", $Time)
EndFunc;Timer 1
Func SleepTimer2()
AdlibEnable("Timer2", 50)
Create2()
While WinExists ($sleeptimer2)
$sTime2 = $time2
$msg4 = GUIGetMsg()
Select
Case $msg4 = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
GUIDelete ($sleeptimer2)
Return
EndSelect
If $sTime2 = "00:00:00" Then
GUIDelete ($sleeptimer2)
Return
EndIf
Wend
Timer2()
sleep ($SleepTime2)
EndFunc
func Create2()
Global $SleepTimer2 = GUICreate ("Sleep Time Left (Session 2)", 240,50)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("00:00:00", 10,10)
GUISetState(@SW_Show, $sleeptimer2)
EndFunc
Func Timer2()
_TicksToTime(($SleepTime2 +$a)- Int(TimerDiff($timer2)), $Hour2, $Mins2, $Secs2)
Local $sTime2 = $Time2; save current time to be able to test and avoid flicker..
$Time2 = StringFormat("%02i:%02i:%02i", $Hour2, $Mins2, $Secs2)
If $sTime2 <> $Time2 Then ControlSetText("Sleep", "", "Static1", $Time2)
EndFunc;==>Timer2
dunno if anyone else would ever need such a thing, but yeah, wanted to share with everyone because I was excited that it was the first real thing that I have accomplished in Autoit
edit:
little question, does anyone know how to center the "00:00:00" text?
