Im trying to run a loop and want a timer to keep track of how long its running on my GUI but can't update the gui every second the same time the loop isn't the same length each time i run it so i can't just keep adding the time and do the math. Any suggestions?

If you want a timer in your gui you simply have to update the guicontrol.

Sorry, it's just a fact.

MummyX,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

Any suggestions?

Explain clearly - and with some punctuation - what it is you are trying to do because at the moment no-one has any real idea.

If you are looking to time a series random length loops takes to run then something liek this might help:

; Enable an exit
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "On_Exit")
Func On_Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

; Here is the total time
$iTotal_Time = 0

; Start a loop
While 1

    ; Now we run a random length loop of 2 to 5 secs
    $iRandom = Random(2, 5, 1)
    ; Get a timestamp as the loop starts
    $iBegin = TimerInit()
    ; Now run the loop
    _Loop($iRandom)
    ; And get the time as it ends - converted into seconds
    $iLoop_Time = Int(TimerDiff($iBegin) / 1000)
    ; Add this to the total
    $iTotal_Time += $iLoop_Time
    ; And announce the results
    MsgBox(0, "Timings", "Last loop: " & $iLoop_Time & @CRLF & @CRLF & "Total:    " & $iTotal_Time)

WEnd

; Simulate a loop with Sleeps
Func _Loop($iDelay)
    For $i = 1 To $iDelay
        Sleep(1000)
    Next
EndFunc

As M23 says, you don't provide enough informaion. Here's a method (demonstration) to see how many loop iterations occur within a 10 second interval:

Also a descriptive title instead of help is always a good idea too.

Well I didn't rly know what to put the title since I didn't know what I was looking for. But here it goes, I have a tooltip for my script to play a game as of right now all I have on the tooltip is if the script is paused or running. I would like to add a timer to this script to either countdown or show running time and have it update every second from what i understand so far I would have to call the tooltip everytime i want to update it and i can't periodically do that with my script unless there is a way to run 2 methods at the same time. So I would like to know how to put a timer on tooltip and have it update every second with out putting my main script out of sync. Ty for you help and sry about the first post was pretty late last time and idk what i was saying.

Sorry, but anything that has to do with a game has to pass the forum rules filter. See how your question is relating to a bot of sorts, then that runs afoul of the forum rules.

MummyX,

script to play a game

scullion is quite right - please read the Forum Rules - particularly the bit about not discussing game automation or interaction - before you post again. Thread locked.
