How to reset timer count?

[NoHAX]

I need to reset timer value, eg.

timer = _TimerInit()

If _Timer_Diff($timer) Then
; Set $timer value to 0
EndIf

I tried sth with KillTimer but it wont work

re-init the timer with the same first line but within the if-then statement

timer = _TimerInit()

If _Timer_Diff($timer) Then
; Set $timer value to 0
timer = _TimerInit()

EndIf

there are inbuilt functions TimerInit / TimerDiff in AutoIt, you might want to use them instead of an extra include.

g'day!

$timer = TimerInit()
If TimerDiff($timer) > 3000 Then
$timer = TimerInit()
EndIf

~Sorry for the necro but this sems quite what i need and its like 3rd result on search page ~

 

Due recent hard-drive fault i lost a log-rotation program and i need to rewrite it now. I remember, when using timers within a program , and if that program is running more than 24h, the timers begin to be innacurate. I cannot remember wich one was , the built-in timer or the included one, so can someone tell me does _TimerInit (i am zeroing the timer from within an If-else statement) affect the accuracy of the timer, or i need to completly kill it and init it again ? i am also not sure does this problem exist, it was long ago since i noticed this, and never actually used timers after that, so my opinion is to ask the geeks  The timer difference occur when the computer is under very heavy load (and the one i use is ), and after 24th hour timers begin to be very inaccurate (+- 30 secs and more)

code represent few keys being pressed every 30 min (exactly 30 min)  i believe there is no need of source here.

JustSomeone,

As far as I know both native and UDF timers just look at the difference in CPU "ticks" since they were initiated and are not really designed for delays of the size you are using. I would strongly suggest creating your own function using _DateDiff & _NowCalc - then your timings are based on the accuracy of the PC clock, and mine certainly does not vary by 30 secs a day.

You can also use epoch functions (based on date functions), you can find some on the forum.

In my opinion it's more efficient for algorithmic calculation

Br, FireFox.
