Easy If statment question

[pileot]

So i want somthing to trigger more than once.... An if statment seemed to be the obvious choice...

heres my whole script, because chances are thats whats gonna be asked for anyways...

expandcollapse popup

#include <IE.au3>
$email = ""
$pass = ""

$oIE = _IECreate("https://login.facebook.com/login.php")
$timer = TimerInit()
Do
    if timerdiff($timer) = (1000*60*5) then;try to make this happen every 5 mins
    login('*******','******"');format: email, password
    Onlinecheck();check for online friends
    EndIf
    
    if timerdiff($timer) = (1000*60*60) then;try to make this happen every 60 mins
    login('*******','******"');format: email, password
;different functions to be added later

if 
until 1 = 2
    

func Login($email,$pass);log out if logged in, log in under specified username
    _IELinkClickByText ($oIE, "logout")
    _ieloadwait($oIE)
    $oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)
    $oEmail = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "email")
    _IEFormElementSetValue ($oEmail, $email)
    $oPass = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "pass")
    _IEFormElementSetValue ($oPass, $pass)
    _IEFormSubmit ($oForm)
    _ieloadwait($oIE)
EndFunc

func Onlinecheck()
    _IENavigate($oIE, "http://www.facebook.com/friends/?online")
    _ieloadwait($oIE)
    if stringinstr($oIE,"name1") Then;add options for more names later
        msgbox(0,"","Friends are online!",60)
    endif
EndFunc

my question is thus

i want to have some events happen every 5 mins, other every hour...

If timerdiff($timer) = 5 mins or 10 mins or 15 mins or.... takes forever to write... is there a better way of doing this?

Just add a For loop to it.

For $x = 0 to 11
if timerdiff($timer) = (1000*60*(($x + 1) * 5)) then;try to make this happen every 5 mins
    login('*******','******"');format: email, password
    Onlinecheck();check for online friends
    EndIf

Next

I think that should do it.

That's multi timer. Search for GaryFrost's timer.

Note: The timer isn't available under the current stable version but available via the beta version (can be found under Developer's Chat)
