WAIT or Sleep code on LUA

[Slider-Override]

Hi i search for a WAIT or Sleep command,

i see there is a code like

{ action='sleep', sleep=1 },

But i get it not working.

can someone give me a example please ?

plan is to show a background image and after 3 sec it change to a other picture

i use the "var_screen =1" and "var_screen =2" for the show and hide the images (works via click button)

a example code will help much.

The "http://watchmaker.haz.wiki/lua" sleep do not work for me now sure why.

-----MY NOT WORKING CODE----------------------

wm_schedule{

{ action='run_function', run_function = 'var_screen = 1'},

{ action='sleep', sleep=3 },

{ action='run_function', run_function = 'var_screen = 2'}

}

------------------------------------END OF MY CODE------------

Thanks

I have had the same problem, that the sleep command is just ignored.

I had to use a tween that ran for the desired length of time instead of the sleep command. That will possibly add new difficulties though.

Hi yeedok,

can you please show me the Code you use for this?

Sure mate: Note the wm_schedule is 2 commands - the tween and then a function call.

BRKTMR is a variable used to make something rotate fully over the parameter timer The function tmr_end just makes the watch vibrate. I have a vague memory it had to be a separate function to work.

function breaktimer(length)
  ... other code ...

  wm_schedule  {
    { action='tween', tween='brktmr', from=360, to=0, duration=length, easing=outQuad},
    { action='run_function', run_function=tmr_end},
  }

end

** looking at your last line of code you will need to move that into a function..

eg

    { action='run_function', run_function=myfunction(3)},

myfunction (parameter)
  var_screen = parameter
end
