 Posted: Tue Sep 01, 2020 12:06 pm Post subject: Alternative to Sleep() |
 |
|
I have 2 or more functions constantly running controlled by a timer that have inside a pointer that points to the same location at a certain moment and its value has to be changed randomly. To avoid conflicts such as function1 changing to a random value and function2 changing right after that value I used sleep() which seems like a workaround but it stops the main thread for x seconds and therefore CE which is a complete mess if I want to access it at that time.
I’ll leave a code snippet to ilustrate better what I pretend to achieve:
| Code: |
--ptr1,ptr2,ptr3 point to the same location depending on the event
function1()
math.randomseed(os.time())
ptr1 = readPointer(...)
if readInteger(ptr1) == 1 then
res1 = math.random(1,3)
writeInteger(ptr1,res1)
end
end
function2()
math.randomseed(os.time())
ptr2 = readPointer(...)
if readInteger(ptr2) == 2 then
res2 = math.random(1,3)
--I need to put here a delay of 5 sec so it delays the change of the value obtained at function1
writeInteger(ptr2,res2)
end
end
function3()
math.randomseed(os.time())
ptr3 = readPointer(...)
if readInteger(ptr3) == 3 then
res3 = math.random(1,3)
--I need to put here a delay of 5 sec so it delays the change of the value obtained at function1
writeInteger(ptr3,res3)
end
end
t1 = createTimer(nil)
timer_onTimer(t1,function1)
timer_setInterval(t1, 2000)
timer_setEnabled(t1, true)
t2 = createTimer(nil)
timer_onTimer(t2,function2)
timer_setInterval(t2, 2010)
timer_setEnabled(t2, true)
t3 = createTimer(nil)
timer_onTimer(t3,function3)
timer_setInterval(t3, 2020)
timer_setEnabled(t3, true)

you can also disable the other timer and spawn a one-time-run timer that reactivates the disabled one

By one-time-run timer what do you mean exactly? I didn’t find a pre-made function for lua. I did this to recreate it instead:
| Code: |
-- function2 and function3 remain the same, no changes
function1()
math.randomseed(os.time())
ptr1 = readPointer(...)
if readInteger(ptr1) == 1 then
res1 = math.random(1,3)
timer_setEnabled(t2,false)
timer_setEnabled(t3,false)
local cont = 0
local function onetime()
if cont > 0 then
timer_setEnable(t2,true)
timer_setEnable(t3,true)
timer_setEnable(t,false)
else
cont = cont + 1
end
end
t = createTimer(nil)
timer_onTimer(t,onetime)
timer_setInterval(t, 5000)
timer_setEnabled(t, true)
writeInteger(ptr1,res1)
end
end

ce 7.1:
| Code: |
createTimer(delay, function(...),...):
Creates a timer object that waits the given delay, executes the given function, and then selfdestructs. Tip: Don't use the timer after it has ran
|
so something like:
| Code: |
t2.Enabled=false
t3.Enabled=false
createTimer(5000, function()
t2.Enabled=true
t3.Enabled=true
end)
