 |
|
I'm trying to make my trainer auto close with a label displaying how long it has left to close, as well as an option to exit before the time is up.
However, when I sleep(1000) 30 times, it waits 30 seconds and closes. But it prevents the user to click the exit button sooner and locks all the controls.
Here's what I have tried so far; | Code: | for loop = 1, 30 do
sleep(1000)
label.Caption = 30 - loop
end |
| Code: | local start, time = getTickCount()
for loop = 1, 30 do
time = getTickCount() - start
while time < 1000 do
time = getTickCount() - start
sleep(1)
end
end |
| Code: | label.Caption = "Closes in 30 seconds."
sleep(30000) |
If it's impossible, that's ok.

try with createNativeThread
| Code: | createNativeThread(function()
for loop = 1, 30 do
sleep(1000)
label.Caption = 30 - loop
end
end) |
| Code: | createNativeThread(function()
local start, time = getTickCount()
for loop = 1, 30 do
time = getTickCount() - start
while time < 1000 do
time = getTickCount() - start
sleep(1)
end
end
end) |
| Code: | createNativeThread(function()
label.Caption = "Closes in 30 seconds."
sleep(30000)
end) |

Using threads for a simple task is overkill and huge waste of resources, why use a loop when you could just use a simple timer?
| Code: | form = createForm();
label = createLabel(form);
-- create timer;
t = createTimer(label);
t.Interval = 100; -- 10 times/sec;
local getCaption = function(t) return ('%d seconds until shutdown'):format(t); end;
-- start timestamp, timeout time in seconds
local start,timeout = os.clock(),30;
label.Caption = getCaption(timeout); -- set starting caption
t.onTimer = function (sender)
local ts = timeout - (os.clock()-start)//1; -- round down; returns float so we use string.format
label.Caption = getCaption(ts); -- update caption;
if (ts <= 0) then -- condition met, shut down;
print('shut down');
label.destroy(); -- destroying the label will also destroy this timer;
-- sender.destroy() -- alternative destroy this timer;
-- closeCE(); -- shut down;
end
end
