Sunblood Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 What I want my script to do is wait until a certain pixel is a certain color, but timeout the search after 5 seconds. Waiting for a pixel I can do, and I have this: Func PixelColor(ByRef $xcoord, ByRef $ycoord, ByRef $pixelcolor) Do $pixel = PixelGetColor($xcoord,$ycoord) Until $pixel = $pixelcolor EndFunc But I want it to stop searching after, say, 5 seconds. I tried: Do $timer = TimerStart() $pixel = PixelGetColor($xcoord,$ycoord) $dif = TimerStop($timer) Until $pixel = $pixelcolor OR $dif > 2000 But that just restarts the timer every time. Help? Please?

GrahamS Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 You need to move the timer start outside the do loop i.e. $timer = TimerStart() Do $pixel = PixelGetColor($xcoord,$ycoord) $dif = TimerStop($timer) Until $pixel = $pixelcolor OR $dif > 2000 GrahamS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunblood Posted February 12, 2004 Author Share Posted February 12, 2004 (edited) Won't that start the timer outside the loop, then try to stop the timer over and over? *tries it out* EDIT: Whoahey. It works! Thanks, GrahamS. Edited February 12, 2004 by Sunblood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works!The function seems to be misnamed. The documentation statesReturns a difference in time from a previous call to StartTimer().Nothing about actually stopping the timer. In fact, although I haven't inspected the code, I reckon that TimerStart just stores the machine's current time and TimerStop does a simple subtraction Thanks, GrahamS.You're welcome GrahamS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
