sleep in minutes?

[Ashww]

how can i make a script sleep in minutes?

Or make it read a input which the user puts in a minute (e.g. 1) how would i get a script to add the 3 zeros on the end.

Cheers

Is this a serious question and if so did you even try anything ?

Sleep takes a parameter in milliseconds. There are 1000 milliseconds in a second. There are 60 seconds in a minute. I hope you can do math.

I spoiled the surprise...

SleepMins(3)

Func _SleepMins($num)
    Sleep(Number($num)*60*1000)
EndFunc

lol manadar your supposed to let them figure it out for them selves and hopefully they will learn something..... and BTW... we know about your bad ass math skillz...

[CrewXp]

...Really?

[CrewXp]

Really... again..?

Cmon guys.. he even took the time to write the code.

_SleepMins(3) instead of SleepMins(3)....

_SleepMins(3)

Func _SleepMins($num)
    Sleep(Number($num)*60*1000)
EndFunc

Because, as you can see, the function is declared _SleepMins but you're calling some other function that isn't exist "SleepMins". Change either so both the function declaration and the caller are using the same name.

I saw that when Manadar posted it. I bet it was on purpose.

One of the funniest topics in a while. ^^

Hmm, I would vote to add add the function to the <Date.au3> UDF!

Your not actually trying to start something here are you?

The proper way to do this is like so:

_SleepMinutes(3)

Func _SleepMinutes($Mins)
For $i = 1 to $Mins*1000*60
Sleep(1)
Next
EndFunc

You do know that will run for 30 minutes? (or was that the point?)

xD No, it doesn't.

It runs for 3 minutes +- interpreter dependant time.

This thread is win!

Yes it does, try it yourself.

If you replace Sleep with ConsoleWrite and output the number the max is 180000. Sleep each incrementation, 1*18000 = 18000 and divide that... Think about this.

Edit: Yes, I have probably mixed this up majorly.

There is no Sleep(1). All values between 1-9 will be 10 so it will be 3*1000*60*10 and that equals 30 minutes!! Edited February 28, 2009 by AdmiralAlkex
