timer help

If StringInStr($Recv, "Mode: None") Then
    $Start_Time = TimerInit()
    $QueStart = 1
EndIf 

If TimerDiff($Start_Time) >= $Time_to_Wait And $QueStart = 1 Then
    Sleep(50)
    $Send = TCPSend($MainSocket, "/StartGlide" & @CRLF)
    Sleep(50)
    $Recv = TCPRecv($MainSocket, 553)
    Sleep(50)
        SetLog("Glider was stopped, started again!")
    _ResetTimer()
    $QueStart = 0
EndIf

I want my code to start the timer when the variable $recv has "Mode: None" in it, but it won't work. Whenever the variable $Time_to_Wait is above 0, it won't start the timer.

Are we to guess what the real issue is?

$Recv = "abcmode: noneabcde"
$Time_to_Wait = 0
If StringInStr($Recv, "Mode: None") Then
    $Start_Time = TimerInit()
    $QueStart = 1
EndIf

If TimerDiff($Start_Time) >= $Time_to_Wait And $QueStart = 1 Then
    MsgBox(0, 0, "here")
EndIf

If this works, then your code will work if those to conditions are true.

So the moral of the story you ask??? .... Either timerdiff is less than time to wait, or $Recv doesn't contain "Mode: None"

But SmOke_N,

as I said, it works when $Time_to_Wait = 0, but anything great it will not work.

$Recv = "abcmode: noneabcde"
$Time_to_Wait = 5000
While 1
If StringInStr($Recv, "Mode: None") Then
    $Start_Time = TimerInit()
    $QueStart = 1
EndIf

If TimerDiff($Start_Time) >= $Time_to_Wait And $QueStart = 1 Then
    MsgBox(0, 0, "here")
EndIf
WEnd

No kidding... because as I said, timer diff is LESS THAN Time to wait. Your condition states: If Timer Diff is Equal to Or Greater Than

What do you know

$Recv = "abcmode: noneabcde"
$Time_to_Wait = 5000
If StringInStr($Recv, "Mode: None") Then
    $Start_Time = TimerInit()
    $QueStart = 1
EndIf
While 1
    $sDiff = TimerDiff($Start_Time)
    ToolTip("Milliseconds: " & $sDiff, 0, 0)
    If $sDiff >= $Time_to_Wait And $QueStart = 1 Then
        MsgBox(0, 0, "here")
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Well the thing is, SmOke, the If statement is inside the loop =\

--edit--

never mind, i'm dealing with TCP stuff =P

Thank you for your help SmOke_N

Look, you are not seeing the obvious.

Provide a better example if you don't understand, because I've explained why exactly it won't work.
