Loop time out?

[Orgins]

How can I put a time limit on loops?

Look at TimerInit() and TimerDiff(). You're question is broad, if you just want to know what functions you would probably use, I gave that to you. If you want someone to write it for you, you'll need to show what you did to try and use those 2 functions first.

Ok so I looked them over and figer it should be something like this:

$begin = TimerInit()

$dif = TimerDiff($begin)

$Value2 = PixelChecksum(249, 216, 249, 216)

While $Value2 = PixelChecksum(249, 216, 249, 216)

Sleep(1000)

If $Dif > 300000 Then Send("Exit")

WEnd

Or is that jsut F'ed up?

or more like this?

TimerInit()

TimerDiff($begin)

$Value2 = PixelChecksum(249, 216, 249, 216)

While $Value2 = PixelChecksum(249, 216, 249, 216)

Sleep(1000)

If $Dif > 300000 Then Send("Exit")

WEnd

I don't know why you want to send Exit on the end, but other then that, you're pretty close.

Sleep(3000)
$Begin = TimerInit()
$Value2 = PixelChecksum(249, 216, 249, 216)

While $Value2 = PixelChecksum(249, 216, 249, 216)
   Sleep(1000)
   TimerDiff($begin)
   If $Dif > 300000 Then Send("Exit");do you just want to exit?
WEnd

Does that suit you needs better?

More like this:

$begin = TimerInit()

$Value2 = PixelChecksum(249, 216, 249, 216)

While $Value2 = PixelChecksum(249, 216, 249, 216)
Sleep(1000)
If TimerDiff($begin)/1000 > 300 Then Exitloop
WEnd

Perhaps you mean this:

$begin = TimerInit()

$Value2 = PixelChecksum(249, 216, 249, 216)

While 1
$Value2 = PixelChecksum(249, 216, 249, 216)
Sleep(1000)
If TimerDiff($begin)/1000 > 300 Then Exitloop
WEnd

No, because that would redefine the checksum and make his script not work

He got his script from another thread, and he wanted to have a script wait to do something until that particular pixel changed, hes now just trying to put the 300 second timeout if nothing changes for 300 seconds

I like you guys people actually help here.

Thxs.

Edit* Truns out TimerInit()/TimerDiff doesn't like loops. Guess it uses the old dif. Anyways I figerd how it fix it.

$x = 0

Do

$x = $x + 1

$begin = TimerInit()

$Value2 = PixelChecksum(249, 216, 249, 216)

While $Value2 = PixelChecksum(249, 216, 249, 216)

Sleep(1000)

If TimerDiff($begin)/1000 > 300 Then Exitloop

WEnd

Until $x = 1
