How to reset, Until = 0 justs keeps going on an on

[nova4]

Hello ppl of the forum, im new and im a  noob i downloaded autoittool a couple of days ago, and i know nothing of scripts but ive been reading.

So this is the script i want to reset

Global $start = TimerInit()
Local $restart = 15

Global $state = "Init";

Init();

While 1
   Start()
WEnd

Func Init()

EndFunc

Func Start()
       Do
       Sleep(1000)
       ToolTip("Restarting in: " & $restart & "", 1, 1)
       $restart = $restart - 1
       Until $restart = 0
       sleep(2000)
EndFunc

This part of script is inside another bigger one, that always restarts like is intended to, and this 15 countdown is just a waiting time i have before it restart all the big script, i could use sleep but i like the counter, the only problem is it justs keeps going on from 0, -1, -23-, etc. etc. -23234, etc.

i want it to restart from 15 everytime it get to this part of the code. the frist time it works, but then the 2cond time the script resets, it dosent work it goes to minus negative numbers and the scrip just dosent seem to work anymore. THats it, thanks ppl.

Hi,

Welcome to the autoit forum

If you follow what the scripts does, you will see your counter is never reset.

;1
Global $start = TimerInit()
Local $restart = 15

Global $state = "Init";

;2
Init();

While 1
    ;4
    Start()
    ;8
    ;$restart = 0
    ;and then step 9 is step 4 because it's a loop
    ;so the $restart will be decremented from 0 and not from 15
WEnd

Func Init()
    ;3
EndFunc   ;==>Init

Func Start()
    ;5
    ;$restart = 15
    Do
        ;6
        ;$restart = 15 ... 0
        Sleep(1000)
        ToolTip("Restarting in: " & $restart & "", 1, 1)
        $restart = $restart - 1
    Until $restart = 0
    Sleep(2000)
    ;7
    ;$restart = 0
EndFunc   ;==>Start

I let you fix it by yourself.
