Tum Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hi, Is there a command so that i can have a function(s) constantly running whilst the main script is running ? Like the HotKeySet commands that constantly run looking for a key to be presses ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted August 25, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 25, 2012 Tum,Take a look at Adlib - it allows you to run a function at regular intervals regardless of what the rest of the script is up to.

Tum Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Hi, I got the AdLib statement running, and it seems to work fine, until it actually calls a function, then the AdLib seems to stop functioning anymore. Is there anyway to stop this please ? ie My AdLib calls a function every 60 seconds, the function it calls +1 to a variable, then does a IF statement. If the variable >= a number then it activates another function, otherwise the AdLib function ends, my script continues until the next 60 seconds is up, and the AdLib function is once again called. All is good, until the IF statement is true, the new function is called, but for some reason, the AdLib statement stops working from then on !

Tum Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Hi,At the start of my code i have the adlib function callGlobal $errorcheck=0AdlibRegister("ErrorCheck",60000)and the routine i call every minute is a basic oneFunc ErrorCheck() $errorcount=$errorcount+1 If $errorcount>=15 Then ToolTip("Errors Found, Restarting in 10 seconds",400,300,"",0,1) Sleep(10000) StartLoop() EndIfEndFuncThen in startloop function it has a reset of $errorcount back to 0Basically, my loop should last anything from 5 to 12 minutes, depending on what it has to do, and this adds a error check, so that if the loop gets stuck somewhere and is running for more than 15 minutes, it gets restarted.Now this all works fine, The error checks happen, The loop gets restarted, I reset the errorcount back to 0, But for some reason the Function doesnt call then every 60 seconds (after its called the StartLoop from the first 15 minutes been reached). Even if i unregister and reregister the function it still doesnt rework the 60 second call.Whats going on with it please ?

Moderators Melba23 Posted August 26, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 26, 2012 Tum,At a first glance I am not at all happy with the StartLoop function being called within an Adlib call - it screams recursion. We need a bit more than that to help - can you please post the whole script (or a short reproducer).

Tum Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 The startloop script is basically the script that calls all the other functions within my script. Its the whole script, All the adlib function is doing is restarting the script, Is there a way to restart the script without calling a function like startloop ?

Moderators Melba23 Posted August 26, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 26, 2012 TumIs there a way to restart the script without calling a function like startloopThere are many ways to restart loops within scripts - but not all of them are right! Which is why I keep asking you to post the script so we can see what is going wrong in your particular case. I could write examples of how you might do it all day - but I have other ways to spend my time more productively. So (for the last time of asking if you want any help from me ) please post your whole script so we can see what is happening when you call your function.

Moderators Melba23 Posted August 26, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 26, 2012 Tum,As you admitted in the post you have quickly deleted that the reason you are not showing the whole script is because it breaks the Forum Rules, you can hardly expect any help with it, can you?
