showing an object at a specific time

[Glenn Boyce]

I'd like an object to show at specific times each day.

show group "QualityBanner" at 16:00

this syntax doesn't work.What should I have?

cheers

Hi Glen,

get the time when your app starts, then calculate the seconds until 16:00.
Then "SEND" a handler that show your group in (the difference) seconds.

Something like this in your stack script:

Code: Select all

on openstack
  convert the time to secs
  put it into tStart
  convert "16:00" to secs
  put it into tEnd
  put (tEnd - tStart)/60 into whatever
  send "show_my_group" to me in whatever secs
  ...
end openstack

command show_my_group
  show grp "QualityBann"
end show_my_group

Thank you

Hi Glen,

sorry, I made little mistake:
...
put (tEnd - tStart) into whatever
...

Do NOT divide by 60!
That was from my testing to see the past minutes instead of the past seconds.
