Dividing $timer with sleep error!

[ecstatic]

Hey guys.

Heres my code.

$timer = _Timer_Init()
    Do
        Tooltip("Sleeping for " & $timer/1000 &" Seconds.", 0, 0, "D2AI")
        Sleep(10)
    Until _Timer_Diff($timer) >= 180000; 3 mintues.

If it is in miliseconds, and you divide by 1000, shouldnt it show a solid not decimal number.

Maybe it's because your last line has it go until $timer is greater than 60 seconds. Shouldn't it be less than. I haven't seen many timers that count upward.

Well, i have timer_init start in another function, because i need it to be X many seconds before it remakes a game to avoid a restriction

Supposing that TimerInit actually returns a value that is in milliseconds (which it doesn't despite what the help says), why would dividing it by 1000 give an integer if that is what you mean by a solid number? Say the value were 123456 mS then dividing that by 1000 would give 123.456.

The value in mS is only returned by TimerDiff.

<-- novice.

Waaahhh? In english?

Because 1000 miliseconds divided by 1000 is 1, meaning 1 second, meaning the sleep timer im displaying i dont want the users to have to do the math of finding how many seconds until the script continues instead i figured. Oh hey, why dont i display it as seconds.

Would i be better off rounding it?

Of course !
