Hey.

Ok I am adding a timer and I am using a variable as the interval but I want to do some maths to it IE times it by 60000 to get it into milisecond format...

My script you enter the minutes into a box and click ok so lets say 1 it executes this...

code:

---

var Time = config.GetControlText("IntervalTime");
AddTimer("updatepm", Time * 60000 );

---

This gives me an error basically its meant to go Time (Usually 1 or similar) gets times by 60000 to give how many miliseconds...

Help please >.<

Thanks,
Kriogenic.

If you'd have posted the error, we could've seen much faster what's wrong. AddTimer is a child function of the MsgPlus object, so you need to use:

code:

---

var Time = config.GetControlText("IntervalTime");
MsgPlus.AddTimer("updatepm", Time * 60000 );

---

I do that all the time... Always forget that... Then I always think the problem is something else >.<

My 2 biggest errors... Forgetting MsgPlus. and forgetting its cap sensative...

Thanks for your help.

A suggestion: If you keep doing this, you might want to just create a function:

code:

---

function AddTimer(TimerId, Interval){
    MsgPlus.AddTimer(TimerId, Interval);
}

---

What I usually do is a function like

code:

---

function Timer(Id, TimeSec)
{
          return MsgPlus.AddTimer(Id, TimeSec*1000)
}

---

Or I just change the number of zeros, depending of what I want, to keep things easy

why not just AddTimer=MsgPlus.AddTimer?

You are better off just doing this to the whole lot

code:

---

with(MsgPlus){
   //put your code here
   AddTimer("updatepm", Time * 60000 );
   //put some more code here
}

This code is also very helpful if you are using the same object quite a few times in a small area, it just saves you writing it out all the time.

Hmm thanks. These ideas will help.

Thanks again people,
