how to make a timer inside a loop

[Smurfin]

can anyone please teach me how to make a timer inside a main program loop, so the timer will only execute a certain function after like 30 minutes and the loops goes on without executing this one function again, only after the next 30 minutes it will be executed again.

thanks in advance.

Maybe...

$Init = TimerInit()

While 1
    Sleep(250)
    If TimerDiff($Init) >= 180000 Then ExitLoop
WEnd

;Start your script

Cheers, FireFox.

you could use adlibenable or

$timer=TimerInit()

$time=30*60*1000
While 1
    ToolTip(Round(TimerDiff($timer)/1000,2),0,0)
    If TimerDiff($timer)>$time Then
        $timer=TimerInit()
        MsgBox(0 , "" , "test msgbox")
    EndIf
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

now you just have to decide where to put the second timerinit

just after the if or just before the endif:P

thanks everyone, I'll try to figure out how to fit these scripts to use with my existing scripts. I'll post again later if I got stuck.
