Count down

[russell]

Im trying to do a countdown but cant figure it out, this is what i have so far.

$secs = @sec
While 1
$pingcheck = Ping ("192.168.1.8") ;media server
If $pingcheck Then
    ToolTip ("Media Server is ready to go")
Else
    ToolTip ("Currently the server is offline. I'll tell ya what ill do. In " & $sec & " seconds ill try agin", 0,0)
WEnd

im not really sure how to make is go down

1. your missing endif at the end

2. after the endif you could put :

sleep(100)
$sec -= 1

not sure if this is what your asking, if not check out TimerInit() and TimerDiff() in the help file instead of using sleep.

You can try:

$msecs = 15 * 1000
$Sec = $msecs / 1000
$pingcheck = 0
While $pingcheck = 0
    If $Sec < 0 Then
        $pingcheck = Ping("192.168.1.8", 250) ;media server
        $Sec = $msecs / 1000
    EndIf
    ToolTip("Currently the server is offline. I'll tell ya what ill do. In " & $Sec & " seconds ill try agin!", 0, 0)
    Sleep(750)
    $Sec -= 1
WEnd
