Timer Script

Help with Timer Script
Hi! I'm fairly new to coding with Autohotkey so please bear with me in my lack of breadth in explaining this issue or coding it properly.

I am trying to make a script that is able to accept an input time interval in minutes and then automatically calculate the next time to send a message.

I don't want to use a timer method because it is imperative that the timer acts on the closest millisecond to :00 seconds and I find that settimer and a sleep loop are unreliable.

Here is my code as of now:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Event  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

#Persistent
CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
SetKeyDelay, 0, 0
getx := 0
gety := 0

amsg := []
amsg[1]:= "blah"
bmsg := []
bmsg[1]:= "blah"
Loop {
	if (A_min = 59 and A_sec = 59 and a_MSec >= 975) {
		MouseGetPos, getx, gety
		WinActivate, Google Chrome
		Random, rand, 1, 20
		MouseMove,  3082, 1362
		MouseClick, left
		Send, % bmsg[rand]
		Send, {Enter}
		MouseMove, %getx%, %gety%
		Sleep, 1001
	}
	if (A_min = 09 and A_sec = 59 and a_MSec >= 975) {
		MouseGetPos, getx, gety
		WinActivate, Google Chrome
		Random, rand, 1, 20
		MouseMove,  3082, 1362
		MouseClick, left
		Send, % bmsg[rand]
		Send, {Enter}
		MouseMove, %getx%, %gety%
		Sleep, 1001
	}
	if (A_min = 19 and A_sec = 59 and a_MSec >= 975) {
		MouseGetPos, getx, gety
		WinActivate, Google Chrome
		Random, rand, 1, 20
		MouseMove,  3082, 1362
		MouseClick, left
		Send, % bmsg[rand]
		Send, {Enter}
		MouseMove, %getx%, %gety%
		Sleep, 1001
	}
	if (A_min = 29 and A_sec = 59 and a_MSec >= 975) {
		MouseGetPos, getx, gety
		WinActivate, Google Chrome
		Random, rand, 1, 20
		MouseMove,  3082, 1362
		MouseClick, left
		Send, % bmsg[rand]
		Send, {Enter}
		MouseMove, %getx%, %gety%
		Sleep, 1001
	}
	if (A_min = 39 and A_sec = 59 and a_MSec >= 975) {
		MouseGetPos, getx, gety
		WinActivate, Google Chrome
		Random, rand, 1, 20
		MouseMove,  3082, 1362
		MouseClick, left
		Send, % bmsg[rand]
		Send, {Enter}
		MouseMove, %getx%, %gety%
		Sleep, 1001
	}
	if (A_min = 49 and A_sec = 59 and a_MSec >= 975) {
		MouseGetPos, getx, gety
		WinActivate, Google Chrome
		Random, rand, 1, 20
		MouseMove,  3082, 1362
		MouseClick, left
		Send, % bmsg[rand]
		Send, {Enter}
		MouseMove, %getx%, %gety%
		Sleep, 1001
	}
}
return

This is a timer built to work on a 10 minute interval, so the script I would want would be able to store whatever interval I want into a variable and then calculate how to go forth from there. I think I should set a variable to dictate the START time for the thing I am trying to do and that would make the portion of calculating the next times to act easier.

For example, I would want to put in a start time of :10 and an interval of :03 and have it act at :13, :16, :19, :22, and so on.

Also, I had attempted to put the code within the if statements inside a function and repeat that, but it did not send messages the same as the method listed above. Any help?

Sure, you can use a variable. A demonstration is below.

Code: Select all

min1 = 08
While (A_Min != min1) {
 SoundBeep, 1700
 Sleep, 50
}
Send x
