alarms and string lists
|
Two questions...
Is it possible to use one time alarms with more precision than seconds? Or is there an alternative other than #wait? For example
#ALA +5 {save} if I wanted it to be in 5.5 seconds instead of 5 what could I do?
Also, I have a variable with a string list in it and an if statement that wants to check to see if the input equals one of the values in the string list. Is the only way to do this #FORALL or is there a better way?
Example:
@junk=(a|b|c|d|e)
#forall @junk {#IF {%i=%1} {true}} |

Well, you could use 5.5
#ALA +5.5 {save}
Or, if it's for a trigger, you could use a Wait type multi-state trigger.
#TR {your trigger}
#COND {} {save} {Wait|Param=5500}
Better ways of checking list membership include doing it directly in the trigger pattern
#TR {{@junk}} {true}
or using %ismember()
#IF (%ismember( %1, @junk)) {true}

Answer to my second question works fine thanks. But, the first one doesn't work... I've tried using decimals and they don't work, perhaps it's because I'm using version 6.16?

That's correct. There are no multi-state triggers in 6.16, and #ALARM is limited to 1-second increments. If you aren't willing to upgrade, you'll just have to accept the limitations of the version you prefer.
