[Macro] Delay between actions


Recommended Posts

You should be able to figure out your own code enhancements from these simple examples.

Yes, of course

Ouchdoesn't an error get reported?

no, i have removed the part "QNH -- LOC SET" only , nothing else within the file

i have changed the display section to the same form as the others:

       -- and lastly the message
       i = i + 1
       while actions[i] ~= 0 do 
          ipc.display(actions[i], 5)
          ipc.sleep(7000)
       i = i + 1
       end
   end

sleep(7000) makes a delay of 2 seconds between 2 messages. By the way, the log requires the additional "end"

Everything is fine now and i have a lot to do for a while :D

Thanks again

That had me puzzled till I realised 5 of those 7 seconds were occupied by the first message displaying! ;-)

Every "ifthen" needs an "end" after the code it applies, as does every "whiledo".

Meanwhile i have checked :D additionally i study the LUA-Manual, it is is not so easy for a 51 year old man, never learned a machine language, except "Basic" for some terms at school (approx 35 years ago) and never used thereafter :(

51? You don't look 51! Is that an old 'photo? :shock:

The Photo is 7 years old, i'm the the photographer in our family therefore pictures of me a rare. Due to new biometric regulations Pictures for Passports are now unusable , only for a "Wanted Poster" :D

I was pretty bald by the time I was 40not much left at all now I'm nearly 66! ;-)

Great!
