Interval

[SaphuA]

Hello,

Quick question here.

Is it possible to have a certain function called every x-interval?

And even better; is it possible during a while loop aswell?

Kinda like this:

SetInterval(DoThis, 200)

while true
; Do this
wend

func DoThis
; And this
endfunc

You can read timestamps, and execute functions in order throughout a loop, or you can place Sleep(200) between your functions.

The timer option is probably what you're after. Simply read the time and check it against a "last checked" variable. If enough time has passed since the last check, then execute your function, otherwise continue through the loop.

a simple example executing ;Do stuff every 1 sec

global $Interval_Timer = timerinit()

while 1
    If TimerDiff($Interval_Timer) > 1000 Then
        ;Do stuff
        $Interval_Timer = timerinit()
    EndIf
    ;Do normal stuff
WEnd

It sounds to me that he wants AdlibEnable() and not some timer.
