two different loops in same script

[MrBlack]

Hello,

i inted to make a script with Send(keys) that loop, entire loop takes around 25 seconds, is possible to insert in same script another loop that takes 20 min for example to send another keys every 20 min?

expandcollapse popup

Global $Paused
HotKeySet( "{F7}", "_TogglePause" )

Func _TogglePause()
$Paused = Not $Paused
While Not $Paused
Sleep( 250 )
ToolTip( 'Script is "Paused', 0, 0 )
WEnd
ToolTip( "" )
EndFunc
    While 1
            If $Paused Then
    Send('{TAB down}')
    Sleep(500)
    Send('{TAB up}')
    Sleep(100)
    Send('{2 down}')
    Sleep(3000)
    Send('{2 up}')
    Sleep(500)
    Send('{2 down}')
    Sleep(3000)
    Send('{2 up}')
    Sleep(500)
    Send('{2 down}')
    Sleep(3000)
    Send('{2 up}')
    Sleep(500)
    Send('{2 down}')
    Sleep(3000)
    Send('{2 up}')
    Sleep(500)
    Send('{2 down}')
    Sleep(3000)
    Send('{2 up}')
    Sleep(500)
    Send('{2 down}')
    Sleep(3000)
    Send('{2 up}')
    Sleep(4000)
EndIf
wend

Thanks in advance, have a nice day.

instead of using sleep, you could start 2 different timers (timerinit) then in the same loop, check the timerdiff of both timers and if 1 is 25 seconds, run the 1st function and reset the timer 1

if the other is 20 min, run the 2nd function then reset timer 2

$timer1 = timerinit()

$timer2 = timerinit()

while 1

if timerdiff($timer1) = 25000 then

do first thing

$timer1 = timerinit()

endif

if timerdiff($timer2) = 1200000 then

do other thing

$timer2 = timerinit()

endif

wend

Hello,

There's a couple of problems with above, it will make your computer hot, and if anything is a little busy or delayed the times won't match exactly, it will miss the action.

Try this.

$x = 0
While 1
    If Mod($x, 5)  = 0 Then ; 25 seconds
        ; do first thing
    EndIf

    If Mod($x, 240)  = 0 Then  ; 20 mins
        ; do second thing
    EndIf

    Sleep(5000)
    $x += 1
WEnd

It's not absolutely accurate because the time taken to do the things will delay the loop. If you want to avoid this slippage, trim the 5000 based on the actual time.

you could also do a time check every so often so that the timer in the loop gets corrected.
