How would I make a 0.5 second alarm?
|
I've tried *0.5 to make an alarm fire every half second, but this doesnt seem to work well, whereas *1 works fine for one second, what is the proper way to make an alarm fire every half second?
Thanks |

I dont think there is a way to do this. I've noticed before people saying #ALARM works only with positive, whole integers (1, 2, 3, 4, ...). The #WAIT command however can be used for fractions of a second. Remember that #WAIT works as 1000 = 1 second. So remember:
#wa 250 - 1/4 of a second, or .25
#wa 500 - 1/5 of a second, of .5
so on so forth.
Hope this helped a little.

I've had #alarm {+0.5} work just fine, but I never tried with a * syntax.

Umm, I believe #wa 500 equals 1/2 of a second, not 1/5 (which would be 200ms or #wa 200).
Just a sidenote.
