Hi boys...
Excuse me for my english but I am italian and so I don't speak very well...
I have a problem with the AddTimer function...I realized a script that send all my emoticons to a contact when i write "invia_emoticons"...I send the emoticons one at a time because the limit for a message is 5 emoticons...
when i send the emoticons,only some emoticons was send..In my opinion this problem is caused by the different of the speed between the processing of the data and processing of the send of data..
OK...so i think to add the AddTimer between a send and other...
But i see that this function isn't execute...
the code of the function is:

code:

---

function send_emoticon(wnd)
{
       
       var smile="";
       var Emoticons = Messenger.CustomEmoticons;
       var e = new Enumerator(Emoticons);
       var Emoticon;
       if(wnd.EditChangeAllowed==true)
       {
               for(; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext())
               {
                       MsgPlus.AddTimer("timer",5000);
                       Emoticon = e.item();
                       smile=" "+Emoticon.Shortcut;
                       Debug.Trace(smile);
                       wnd.SendMessage(smile);
               }
       }
}

function onEvent_Timer(timer)
{
}

---

the output of the debug is:

code:

you can see that only the first emoticons are print...Why there isn't in the output of the debug Funzione chiamata: OnEvent_Timer...why don't the timer stop for 5 second the excute of the program?

Try changing:

code:

---

function onEvent_Timer(timer)

---

to:

code:

---

function OnEvent_Timer(timer)

---

It's getting called five seconds after you sent the first smiley to your contact, perhaps you didn't wait that long.

If you want it to wait 5 seconds before sending each smiley, you can either use Sleep (would freeze Messenger), or you can send the smiley inside the OnEvent_Timer function.

I did the change but i don't resolve the problem...how can i send all my emoticons?

You use "MsgPlus.AddTimer("timer",5000);" like a sleeper which stops the loop for 5 seconds. BUT the msgplus's timer is a timer which calls the function "OnEvent_Timer()" when it finish.

So you've to use it like this :

code:

---

var the_wnd;
var Emoticons;
var e;

function send_emoticon(wnd)
{
       if(wnd.EditChangeAllowed==true)
       {
           Emoticons = Messenger.CustomEmoticons;
           e = new Enumerator(Emoticons);
               the_wnd = wnd;  // Stock the chat window
           OnEvent_Timer("timer_name"); // launch the timer's loop
       }
}

function OnEvent_Timer(timer)
{
    if(timer == "timer_name"){
        var smile="";
        for(var i = 0; !e.atEnd()&&i<5; e.moveNext(), i++)smile=" "+e.item().Shortcut;
            the_wnd.SendMessage(smile); // Send the 5 smilies
            Debug.Trace(smile);
            if(!e.atEnd())MsgPlus.AddTimer("timer_name", 5000); // If not finished yet, recall the function in 5 seconds
    }
}

Hope you understand !

EDIT : Not tried but should works, otherwise it's enough to help you about your project i think.

I was going to recommend something like this, but then I thought what if there are 2 windows opened at the same time?
Solution: You can set the TimerID to ChatWnd, that way, you get one timer for each conversation. Then you also have to separate the "e" variable using an array.

For instance:

code:

---

var Emoticons;
var e = new Array();
var wnds = new Array();

function send_emoticon(wnd)
{
       if(wnd.EditChangeAllowed==true)
       {
           Emoticons = Messenger.CustomEmoticons;
           e[""+ wnd.Handle] = new Enumerator(Emoticons);
               wnds[""+ wnd.Handle] = wnd; // Stock the chat window
           OnEvent_Timer(""+ wnd.Handle); // launch the timer's loop
       }
}
function OnEvent_Timer(timer)
{
    if(wnds[timer].EditChangeAllowed==true){
        var smile="";
        for(var i = 0; !e[timer].atEnd()&&i<5; e.moveNext(), i++)smile=" "+e[timer].item().Shortcut;
            wnds[timer].SendMessage(smile); // Send the 5 smilies
            Debug.Trace(smile);
            if(!e.atEnd())MsgPlus.AddTimer("timer_name", 5000); // If not finished yet, recall the function in 5 seconds
    }
}

I haven't tried this code, I will do tomorrow.

Great...the script works...
Thank Huhu_Manix and vikke...I solve the problem in this way,naturally with your help...

code:

---

function send_emoticon(wnd)
{
    if(wnd.EditChangeAllowed==true)
     {
         Emoticons = Messenger.CustomEmoticons;
         e = new Enumerator(Emoticons);
         the_wnd = wnd;  // copia l'oggetto finestra
         OnEvent_Timer("timer_name"); // lancia il ciclo
     }
}

function OnEvent_Timer(timer)
{
    if(timer == "timer_name")
    {
        var smile="";
        for(var i = 0; !e.atEnd()&&i<5; e.moveNext(), i++)smile=smile+" "+e.item().Shortcut;
         the_wnd.SendMessage(smile); // invia 5 smilies per volta
         Debug.Trace(smile);
            if(!e.atEnd())MsgPlus.AddTimer("timer_name", 4000); // chiama nuovamente l'evento Timer
    }
}

I highlighted your only forgetfulness...

I hope to learn more in this forum...
