need command similar to wait

[Snickers]

with the command WAIT, the macro simply waits for the designated time.

I need a command that will skip a certain if then statement if 5 seconds hasn't passed.


Example (simplified--my real script is 45 pages long):
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
getpixelcolor>123,123,thing1
if>thing1=255
do something
endif

if>thing1=65546 and 5 seconds has elapsed from the last time thing1 colorcheck caused and event
do something
endif
//--------------------------------------------------------------------


since checking the system clock using the SEC> or MIN> command will store the current time, I am thinking there must be a way to do this; however, I can't swing it because if it just so happens to record the seconds as 59 seconds, how can i tell if 5 seconds has passed when the SEC> command will actually record 4 as the variable instead of 63 seconds.

Can someone please set me straight on this one? The wait command wont work because it freezes the script to actually "wait".

SRT>Face

SEC>seconds
if>seconds>54
let>seconds1=%seconds%-30
else
let>seconds1=%seconds%
endif

SEC>seconds
if>secondsseconds2=%seconds%+25
else
let>seconds2=%seconds%-5
endif

If>seconds1=seconds2
let>turn=1
endif

getpixelcolor>blah,blah,movecheck1
getpixelcolor>blah,blah,movecheck2
If>turn=1
If>{(%movecheck1% = 251) OR (%movecheck1% = 64498)}
If>{(%movecheck2% = 255) OR (%movecheck2% = 65526)}
mousemove>100,456
wait>.3
Rdown
mousemove>1100,456
wait>.3
Rup
wait>1
add>turn,1
let>fightcounter=1
END>Face
endif
endif
endif

this will probably work; however, do you know a faster way?

Try something like this:

Code: Select all

//--------------------------------------------------------------------
//Set next line to maximum wait time in seconds
Let>WaitMax=5
VBSTART
VBEND
VBEval>Timer,WaitStarted

Label>getpixelcolor_loop
getpixelcolor>123,123,thing1
if>thing1=255
//do something
endif

VBEval>Timer,WaitCheck
Let>WaitDiff=%WaitCheck%-%WaitStarted%

//I don't know what you're doing so I don't know if you want
//an "AND" or an "OR" in the following complex If> statement
if>{(%thing1%=65546)OR(%WaitDiff%>%WaitMax%)}
//and 5 seconds has elapsed from the last time thing1 colorcheck caused and event
//do something by jumping out of this loop
Goto>jump_out_of_loop
endif
Wait>0.01
Goto>getpixelcolor_loop

Label>jump_out_of_loop
//--------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you,
I managed to use this example and mix it up a bit to make it work nicely.
