RE: script sleep command by Voldemort on 03-07-2007 at 01:11 AM

Can you elaborate as to what a 'wait command' is?

RE: script sleep command by Gareth_2007 on 03-07-2007 at 01:12 AM

well i need to pause the code for a few second to let merlin finish what he is saying be for the action it completed

on java forums i have seen Thread.sleep(1000);  but that does not work :( any ideas? cheers

MsgPlus.AddTimer("time",1000)     
this is what you want?

RE: script sleep command by Felu on 03-07-2007 at 03:15 AM

code:
Interop.Call("Kernel32", "Sleep", 100);

100 or another value represents the milliseconds ;)

never use that : <, it freezes messenger which is a evil thing to do, use timers instead

You should never use sleep in any program (not just scripts), including VB6 (which is probably where you got the idea from).

Also, there are especially commands and methods to instructs MS Agent to wait and do other stuff.

Also, if you use the speak commad, it already should say the entire text before it does anything else.

As said before, never ever use a sleep command in code.

Here is a script I've made for someone. It was originally posted in another thread with much more detailed explanation, but unfortunatly the guy who requested this has removed that thread...

PS: there are also some other scripts on the forums which use MS Agent, so you could search for those too and take a look at them (search on "agent").

I'm sorry but that is not what you wanted... please do not ever use that...

It will effectivly halt everything on Messenger, not just your script. See all the posts above...

The best thing you could do is to use the MsgPlus timers, which was also mentioned earlier in this thread (therefore, always read the whole topic ;)). An example would look like this:

code:
function OnEvent_SignIn(Email) {
   if(Email == "someone@hotmail.com") {
      MsgPlus.DisplayToast("Welcome", "Hello there!");
      MsgPlus.AddTimer("SignIn_Sleep", 1000); //1000 milliseconds = 1 second
   }
}

function OnEvent_Timer(TimerId) {
   if(TimerId == "SignIn_Sleep") {
      MsgPlus.DisplayToast("Welcome", "How are you today?");
   }
}

Actually no, the best thing todo is use the already available properties and methods for the MS Agent object. With those you can control everything, including a delay and/or waiting until something is finished, etc.
