Question about messages

[Craig Newman]

First off, the “with messages” is not proper syntax for “send”. It is for “wait”. I removed that portion, but do not understand how you got past it.

Make a field. This works:
on opencard

send "handler1" to me

end opencard



on handler1

send "handler2" to me in 200millisec

end handler1



on handler2

put random(99) into fld 1

send "handler2" to me in 200millisec

end handler2



I get lots of random numbers, five per second. No idea what “condition” is, so I deleted it. Anyway, it is not something in the foundation of your script.
