sleep in minutes?

[KaFu]

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!!

You have a point. Sorry I forgot that

What the fuck. Since when is that?

/request replacement for sleep.

It's been there for a while. And if I remember correctly it can't be fixed?

According to monoceres every call we do to Sleep() generates multiple internal calls, so it should be possible, right?

Well either way, the time it takes for the interrupt to start and end would add time anyway. Although you won't really notice 1 or 10 milliseconds.

It's actually 15 like the minimum interval that a WM_TIMER can be posted, not sure though.

Since always.

A better alternative would be to call the native sleep api directly.

Script that does that.

Did Jos just imply I am a "techie"

Either way and no matter whatever we do, it will always end up out of sync.

yep... but between double quotes .....

Seriously: Don't think there is any forced minimum time in AutoIt3, just the time it takes to process the Sleep(xyz) scriptline.

Dim $iInit, $TimeDiff[100]

For $i = 0 To 99
    $iInit = TimerInit()
    For $j = 0 To 273
        Sleep(0)
    Next
    $TimeDiff[$i] = TimerDiff($iInit)
Next

Dim $Avg = 0
For $i = 0 To 99
    ConsoleWrite('Timer Diff: ' & $TimeDiff[$i] & @LF)
    $Avg += $TimeDiff[$i]
Next

ConsoleWrite('Average: ' & $Avg/100 & @LF)

Not accurate but probably statistical results has to do something with it. ~the TimeDiff and TimeInit intervals but it's also machine depended and the minimum amount of time the resolution allows.

Yeah you really hit the jackpot with that one, without _HighPrecisionSleep() I would never have been able to get acceptable speeds with Platformerious (a so far unrealeased platform-game)

Well I learned it from this forum, it was one of the devs or mods that said it, I will try to find it. Besides shouldn't then Sleep(0) also be around 10ms? Edited February 28, 2009 by AdmiralAlkex

Nope, Sleep(0) is causing the thread to relinquish it's time slice but it's depended on other system factors so it can't be truly accurate even if it might seem so.

Ok, let me check the details.

I know there is an implicit sleep(10) for GuiGetMsg(), but have to check to code to see if Sleep has a minimum of 10.

EDIT: Sleep(0) is treated differently.

Treated differently how?

One of the funniest topics in a while. ^^

Indeed.

Yep, that pretty much explains it.

[James]

Got it. Well I didn't realise how cool Sleep(0) was
