 Posted: Tue May 27, 2008 3:25 am Post subject: How to create a Loop Bypass Timer? |
 |
|
Hi, I have searched these forums all day for a method whereby I can create a script which will allow me to mash a button (the "w" key) which will send "1" and then send "2". However, after sending "1" it will not send it again until one minute has elapsed, otherwise it will simply bypass it and send "2" every time the "w" key is mashed until the timer expires. I don't see a native function for this so I assume I will have to grab the current time, convert it to seconds, assign it to a variable and continually check it via a calculation to see if the 60 seconds have elapsed since "1" was first pressed.
I am relatively new at this. Am I correct in my thinking or is there another better way to do this? If anyone could direct me to a script that accomplishes something similar it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks a lot. I will try this out and see how it goes.
Edit:
I tried it but I can't seem to get "2" to fire immediatly when "1" is on cooldown. It still waits the 10 seconds which is no different than if I had placed the sleep imediatly after the "send, 1" rather than using the subroutine. Is there a way to make this run in its own thread so that the timer countsdown without affecting the main script?
Oh and to clarify, I want to mash a single button separate from the number keys I am firing. I want to press "w" for example and have it fire "1" and "2" respectively. (I updated my original post to clarify this better) |

| I am thinking I need to do this with a counter and then figure out aproximately how many iterations match 60 seconds. |

Here's how I do it.
| Code: |
Timer1 := 60000
Start1 := 0
End1 := 0
Diff1 := 0
|
followed by:
| Code: |
pressingkeys:
End1 := A_TickCount
Diff1 := End1 - Start1
if (Diff1 >= Timer1)
{
Send, 1
Start1 := End1
}
return
|
Note: The code above is just an example from what I do, you'll have to tweak to meet your specs...
Regards,

Add this to the beginning of each hotkey
| Code: | If (A_TickCount - Timer%A_ThisHotkey% < 60000
&& Timer%A_ThisHotkey%)
Return
Timer%A_ThisHotkey% := A_TickCount |
Example | Code: | 1::
If (A_TickCount - Timer%A_ThisHotkey% < 60000
&& Timer%A_ThisHotkey%)
Return
Timer%A_ThisHotkey% := A_TickCount
; Do stuff after this
MsgBox 1
Return
2::
If (A_TickCount - Timer%A_ThisHotkey% < 60000
&& Timer%A_ThisHotkey%)
Return
Timer%A_ThisHotkey% := A_TickCount
; Do stuff after this
MsgBox 2
Return |

even shorter 
| Code: | w::
send, % (!t1 || A_TickCount-t1 > 60000) ? 1 : 2
t1 := (!t1 || A_TickCount-t1 > 60000) ? A_TickCount : t1
return |

and as one-liner 
| Code: | | w::send, % (!t1 || A_TickCount-t1 > 60000) ? ((t1 := A_TickCount) ? 1 : 1) : 2 |

Here is what I have. It works great. If anyone thinks they can shorten it that would be fantastic.
| Code: |
[::
{
if (!t1 || A_TickCount-t1 > 16000) {
t1 := A_TickCount
SendInput 9
Sleep 250
} else
if (!t2 || A_TickCount-t2 > 61000) {
t2 := A_TickCount
SendInput 1
Sleep 2000
} else
if (!t3 || A_TickCount-t3 > 30000) {
t3 := A_TickCount
SendInput {Alt Down}
SendInput 1
SendInput {Alt Up}
SendInput 0
Sleep 2000
SendInput {Home}
Sleep 2700
} else
if (!t4 || A_TickCount-t4 > 19000) {
t4 := A_TickCount
SendInput {Alt Down}
SendInput 2
SendInput {Alt Up}
SendInput {Ins}
Sleep 2000
SendInput {Home}
Sleep 2000
} else
if (!t5 || A_TickCount-t5 > 13000) {
t5 := A_TickCount
SendInput {Alt Down}
SendInput 3
SendInput {Alt Up}
SendInput {Ins}
Sleep 3000
} else
if (!t6 || A_TickCount-t6 > 14000) {
t6 := A_TickCount
SendInput {Alt Down}
SendInput 4
SendInput {Alt Up}
SendInput 0
Sleep 2300
SendInput {Home}
Sleep 2500
} else
if (!t7 || A_TickCount-t7 > 13000) {
t7 := A_TickCount
SendInput {Alt Down}
SendInput 5
SendInput {Alt Up}
SendInput {Home}
Sleep 2300
} else
GetKeyState, state, w,
if State = U
break
return
}

Really? Most people will probably think your keyboard is broken, when you run that script.
What do you need this for? I canīt think of a use for this.  |

This is for a game where I can mash a button and constantly fire off abilities in a certain order. Each ability has a cooldown of varying lengths so I don't want to fire those or have to wait but rather just move on to the next one. Each ability has an animation which takes a few seconds to complete so that is what the "sleeps" are for. The way it is working now I have the option to either mash the key or just hold it down.
(I may have to change the "w" key to something else or, like you said, it might even seem broken to me if I have to bring up chat and can't type a "w".)

I get around that with another hot-key that "pauses" the checks.
| Code: |
$^#P::
PauseScript := (PauseScript == "NO") ? "YES" : "NO"
return
|
and then in the actual hot-key procedure I add a check for PauseScript
| Code: |
; If we're paused, ignore the hotkey...
if (PauseScript == "YES")
return
|
