Dgameman1,

Personally I would use _DateAdd to find the time 23 hours on and then match the time macros inside a simple loop.

If you wanted to get really complicated then you could do something like this:

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <Date.au3>

; Create a flag to show timer ended
$fTimer = False

; Set Adlib to run a function to check time
AdlibRegister("_TimerCheck", 1000 * 60 * 30) ; Check every 30 mins
; Run the function immediately
_TimerCheck()

While 1
    Sleep(10)
    ; Look for flag
    If $fTimer Then
        MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Timer", "DING-A-LING!!!!!!")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
WEnd

Func _TimerCheck()

    ; This section only runs the first time the function is called
    Local Static $sEnd = _DateAdd("h", 23, _NowCalc())
    Local Static $sEndHour = StringMid($sEnd, 12, 2)
    Local Static $sEndMin = StringMid($sEnd, 15, 2)
    Local Static $sCheck = "Hour"

    ; But this section is run every time
    Switch $sCheck
        Case "Hour"
            If @Min = $sEndHour Then
                ; Reset frequency of Adlib
                AdlibRegister("_TimerCheck", 1000 * 30) ; Check every 30 secs
                ; Change to minute check
                $sCheck = "Minute"
            EndIf

        Case "Minute"
            If @Sec = $sEndMin Then
                ; Set flag
                $fTimer = True
                ; End Adlib
                AdlibUnRegister("_TimerCheck")
            EndIf

    EndSwitch

EndFunc

            ConsoleWrite("Self Destruct in " & $i & @CRLF)
            Sleep(1000)
        Next
            ExitLoop
    EndIf
Wend

Lol thanks but not at all what I was asking :P

So, what's the highest number I can make TimerDiff go up to?

It's not documented, so the only way to find out is if one of the Devs answers, or by testing it yourself.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Right. 

 

And just to clarify, I know that some programming languages can only go up to 2,147,483,647 as an integer.

Believe the TimerDiff() returns a double type so  1.79769e+308 give or take a few.

Thank you thank you. So using a calculator,  1.79769e+308 milliseconds would be equal to 4.99358333333333321e+301 hours.

 

I'm assuming the calculator fucked up because that only seems like 5 hours?

... multiplied by 10^301 but don't expect unit granularity over the whole range!

Ooh, perfect. I just want it to go up to 12 hours. So I'm glad it does! 

 

Thanks
