[HELP] wrong timer triggers by LifelesS on 07-07-2007 at 05:46 PM

Getting nuts with this... :blah:

I have 2 timers, like this:

code:
function OnEvent_ContactSignin(Email)
{
MsgPlus.AddTimer("ResetAll", 60000);
if(...){}

else
{
if(...)
{
if(...)
{
MsgPlus.AddTimer("UnBlocker", 5000);
}
else{}
}
}
}

Then outside the ContactSignIn function I have the OnEvent_Timer, like this:

code:
function OnEvent_Timer(UnBlocker)
{
.....
}

function OnEvent_Timer(ResetAll)
{
....
}

and besides the if's and else's, the timer UnBlocker triggers before timer ResetAll, or at least, it should, but it isn't. Everything works except when I had the function for the ResetAll timer... Does it have anything to do with the scope or the order they're declared?

P.S. I didn't put all the code, but if it's needed, just say so.

TIA

You're misuing functions (in specific the OnEvent_Timer one). There is only meant to be one instance of OnEvent_Timer in your code which accepts the id of the timer as its parameter:

code:
function OnEvent_Timer(strId)
{
switch(strId)
{
case "UnBlocker":
.....
return;

case "ResetAll":
.....
return;
}
}

Many thanks for that... I guess the biggest problem is the fact I'm kind of rusty XD
