Timer Question

Hello,

I have a program that I want to run for 10 minutes. In those 10 minutes I want it to check for the time. For the first 3 minutes I want it to run one function. After the 3 minutes expires I want it to start another function for 4 minutes. When that expires I want it to run another function for the remaining 3 minutes.

Do I use a starttimer and have the starttimer equal something and put the 3 functions in a loop so it keeps checking the time?

Im looking for a good way to write this.

Thanks

Example:

viz.go()
.
.
.
def function1():

"code"

//end of function 1

def function2():

"code"

//end of function 2

def function3():

"code"

//end of function 3

Here is an example that uses the viztask module to control the timing of the 3 different functions:

Code:

import viz

import vizact

import viztask

viz.go()



def func1():

        pass

        

def func2():

        pass

        

def func3():

        pass



def MainTask():

        

        #Run func1 for 3 minutes

        timer = vizact.ontimer(0,func1)

        yield viztask.waitTime(180)

        timer.remove()

        

        #Run func2 for 4 minutes

        timer = vizact.ontimer(0,func2)

        yield viztask.waitTime(240)

        timer.remove()

        

        #Run func3 for 3 minutes

        timer = vizact.ontimer(0,func3)

        yield viztask.waitTime(180)

        timer.remove()

        

        #Quit script

        viz.quit()

        

viztask.schedule( MainTask() )

Ok thanks for that... If I wanted to do it via pressing keys and not a timer how would I do that. I got it to work but I have trouble after I go on to the next function... I can never go backwards.

IE

I press 'a' to initiate def func1():

I then press 's' to iniatiate def func2():

If I press 'a' again I get an error. I assume I need a ontimer or something but I have trouble trying to figure that out.

Any insight would be much appreciated

If you just want to call functions based on keypresses use something like

Code:

vizact.onkeydown('a', func1)

vizact.onkeydown('s', func2)

All times are GMT -7. The time now is 02:38 AM.
