The Wait command

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi  Pete,

There are so many way to do what you want that the following is bound to look silly.

local lTimer,lCondition
on foo theSeconds
  if the seconds - theSeconds >= lTimer and lCondition is true then
    -- do something here
  else
    send "foo theSeconds" to me in 1 sec
  end if
end foo

or perhaps

local lCondition
on foo theSeconds
  if lCondition is true then
    -- do something
  else
    send "foo theSeconds" to me in theSeconds seconds
  end if
end foo

etc etc etc

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
