Forums Scripts & Popups delay perform

hi

is it possible to delay the standard perform procedures until my script is done? is it possible to rerun the perform again later during a mirc session?

Write a own and use a timer to trigger it:

Change the number 20 to the amount of time that should past befor perform trigger, 60 = 1 minute, 120 = 2 minutes and so on..

Everything going in to remote.. ALT + R in your mirc..

well, its not quite that easy

you see, the basic idea behind this is portability and user frienlieness. just load the script and your good to go. of course i could just add a "copy perform to remote" to the installation instructions, but this way would be nicer

Add the code in a file, "mrc", then //loar -rs "path to file.mrc" press enter, done.. if thats what you looking for ?

well, what i'm looking for would be the part you described as "code"

i need to interpret the perform.ini. as i see it, there could be two aproches:

a) delay or restart the original mirc perform function. this was my first question so i don't have to do

b) shut down the perform function of mirc and interprete the perform.ini on my own.

so, is a possible or do i have to take the long way?

Im a bit unclear if u needed to run perform commands later, or if u were just thinking of that as a way to get them done after your script was completed.

Using mirc 6.17 you could insert a alias call to HOLD.PERFORM.HERE (you use what ever alias name u like) as the first perfrom line and it well hold up any of the others tell you exclusively inform it to carry on.

echo -a OK OK here we go!
your.script.name
hold.perform.here
echo -a amazing perform is running agian
join #noobies-playhouse
echo -a and perform ends


mean while you have this alias
alias HOLD.PERFORM.HERE {
set $+(%,performstopper.,$cid) $true
$+(.timer.failsafe.release.for.performstopper.,$cid) 1 120 unset $+(%,performstopper.,$cid)
while ($($+(%,performstopper.,$cid),2) && ($input(Please Wait While Script Initiates,ok5,Script Name) || $true)) { }
}

* the italic line is a failsafe release of the script after 2 mins

NB: now be aware something in YOUR script, which i assume is running on events or timers or some such thing, when its finished doing all it needs to do, MUST DO this command unset $+(%,performstopper.,$cid) including $cid being the right $cid of the server connection the perform was halted for.

* whats it do?
well it sets a var %performstopper.$cid to true, then just loops untill thats unset (or set to $false or zero or $null), however it doesnt freeze up mirc, becuase it opens a $input telling you to wait for the script to finsih (or what ever you say) so that pauses the script for 5 seconds, then loops back, during that 5 seconds mirc processes events and timers normally, does however disable your ability to type on the command line

**** the other option is to use a dll caled WHILEFIX which does the same thing but u can get rid of the $input, you insert the call to whilefix in side the while loop and it releases control to mirc (whcih is normally locked during the while loop). I have experenced some wierd wierd behavour using this, if the while loop remains going for a long time tho.
