if u somehow know how long the script needs to pass the loop once you can do it like this:

lets assume the script needs 1 second to pass the loop

$i = 0
While true
If Mod($i, 60) = 0 Then 
    ;this part is done every minute
EndIf
If Mod($i, 60*60*2) = 0 Then 
    ;this part is done every 2 hours
EndIf
$i += 1
;....your other code....
WEnd

be sure to inform yourself about AdLibEnable(), too.

tmo, thx for reply

i can't use your method

in my script you can choose some parameters, and depand of your choose script need 1s to 10s to pass the loop :P

so if i use your solution , my script call function every min 2h, max 20h if i'm correct

anyway, i need some countdown or something like that

after further tests i found that i can use this function once

only last AdlibEnable work, so if i use 4 AdlibEnable to call 4 diferent functions, only last one work

here is an example of mu code

if $aaa = 1 then
AdlibEnable ( "bbb" , 20000)
endif
if $ccc = 1 then
AdlibEnable ( "ddd" , 30000)
endif
if $eee = 1 then
AdlibEnable ( "fff" , 40000)
if $ggg = 1 then
AdlibEnable ( "hhh" , 10000)
EndIf

endif

    While (1)

        MouseDown ("Right")
        Call ("refocus")
        MouseUp ("Right")
        Send (" ")
        Sleep ($speed)

    WEnd

now think about my first method once again. what about having global variable $i which increases each time the adlib-function is called. then you can use the Mod($i, x) method again.

or you can just have one adlib function that calls 4 other functions as necessary based on global variables... there are alot of ways to do what you want... I think i would go with TimerStart() and TimerDiff(). you can start a timer for each of the optional durations, and have TimerDiff compared for each at necessarily variable increments, and you won't need to worry about adblibs or seperate functions at all.

I was just about to recommend the TimerDiff() function myself! from the helpfile, this example...

CODE
$begin = TimerInit()

sleep(3000)

$dif = TimerDiff($begin)

MsgBox(0,"Time Difference",$dif)

You didn't post the full script, but this is how you should probably do it:

Dim $i_TimeStamp1 = TimerInit()
Dim $i_TimeStamp2 = TimerInit()
Dim $i_TimeStamp3 = TimerInit()
Dim $i_TimeStamp4 = TimerInit()

While 1
    MouseDown ("Right")
    Call ("refocus")
    MouseUp ("Right")
    Send (" ")
    Sleep ($speed)
    IF TimerDiff($i_TimeStamp1)/1000 >= 20000 Then
        bbb()
        $i_TimeStamp1 = TimerInit()
    EndIf
    IF TimerDiff($i_TimeStamp2)/1000 >= 30000 Then
        ddd()
        $i_TimeStamp2 = TimerInit()
    Endif
    If TimerDiff($i_TimeStamp3)/1000 >= 40000 Then
        fff()
        $i_TimeStamp3 TimerInit()
    EndIf
    If TimerDiff($i_TimeStamp4)/1000 >= 10000 Then
        hhh()
        $i_TimeStamp4 = TimerInit()
    EndIf
WEnd
