Couple relatively simple questions

[DWad]

Ok so first off, I'm trying to write a loop that will run for x seconds. I have unworking code that repeats the script indefinitely..

Could someone post a sample of how to repeat for x milliseconds? I know that I should use timeInit and timerDiff but I haven't gotten anywhere with them, I guess I just don't understand exactly how they work (yes I read the helpfile )

Also, I have a GUI with a button to set a hotkey to PgDn.

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($bindTo1Button, "bind1")

and

Func bind1()
        HotKeySet ("{pgDn}", "sendWhat")
EndFunc

This part works fine. However, I have 2 other function set up the same way replacing pgDn with LSHIFT or LCTRL and when I try to use them the same way nothing happens. Any idea here or do I need to supply some more info?

Thanks guys.

To answer #1

Loop that repeats for X seconds:

$seconds = 5

$timer = TimerInit()
While TimerDiff( $timer ) < $seconds * 1000
    Sleep(10) ; do stuff here
WEnd

As for #2

I need to see the rest of the script to say why the functions are not working.

Ah ok, I had an extra variable for the TimeDiff I think, I'll try that out, thanks Danwilli.

As for question 2, the functions themselves are working fine, the only thing I did was change PgDn to LSHIFT or LCTRL to have it set to a different hotkey. I'll post up the code later, probably an id-10-T error in there somewhere.

Ok figured it out..after a quick skimming back through the help file again.

Seems you can't set just shift, control, or alt as a hotkey, you have to combine them with someone else.

Thanks again for the help.
