This triggers worked fine in 6.16. What it did was check the seconds on the clock and would add 1 to a variable called seconds.




#trigger {-:(59|58|57|56|55|54|53|52|51|50|49|48|47|46|45|44|43|42|41|40|39|38|37|36|35|34|33|32|31|30|29|28|27|26|25|24|23|22|21|20|19|18|17|16|15|14|13|12|11|10|09|08|07|06|05|04|03|02|01|00)} {#ADD seconds 1}





#trigger {@seconds > 1} {#var seconds 0;do this stuff now}

Can anyone tell me why this is now not working in zmud 6.40 because all classes and triggers are getting turned on leading up to this this trigger, but for some reason its not even adding 1 to the seconds variable and the TYPE IS set to alarm.

Really need this one badly its a foundation of my whole system.........

Thanks,

It looks like the second trigger is intended to be an expression trigger instead of a run-of-the-mill trigger.

With this in mind, it appears that your trigger is supposed to increment @seconds every second and when it's greater than 1 (and thus 2 since it is an integer) set it back to 0 and execute your code. So your code is executed every two seconds. If you don't need @seconds set to 1 on the off seconds, this should work:

#ALARM *2 {Do whatever stuff you need to}

Otherwise, do this:
#VAR Seconds 0
#ALARM *1 {#IF (@Seconds = 1) {#VAR Seconds 0;Do whatever stuff you need to} {#VAR Seconds 1}}

This will not work as I need it to do something every two seconds until I get a condition in which I then shut it off, the way you have shown me will create an alarm trigger that will fire once and then no more, however, if my condition is not met, then I need it to continue to fire every 2 seconds

The alarms will not fire only once. The * in front of the time tells the alarm to fire when the time is perfectly divided by whatever comes after the *. So, in the first one, the alarm fires whenever the time can be perfectly divided by 2 (every two seconds), and in the second one, whenever it can be perfectly divided by 1 (every second). The second alarm uses the same system you already had to determine when two seconds had passes, while the first alarm will already fire every two seconds without having to keep track of a variable. The alarms will work, just try them.

I always enjoy seeing people ask for help, then reject solutions without even trying them.
