Time Random

[zeak]

While trying to change multiple lines with new times, I was wanting to add in a random element to the time but the time does not accept the action %RANDOM%.
This means I have to edit each line individually, which is very time consuming.




Can you please add the ability to put %RANDOM% into the time entry.

Done. Will be made available for next release.
I'll forward you a link now so you can check it out.

I'm looking for that exact feature too. I'm just using the simple playback and loop option with various playback speeds. There is a ..faster customer.. and ..slower custom.. option, but not any kind of ..random speed.. of some sort. I'd be great to have that included, else i've to jump in the macro editing for playback which i haven't done so far.

[PreProUser]

..i try to clarify my above mentioned subject a little bit.

Including random playback speeds (while looping the playback), would result in not so static results (when user behaviour gets monitored/analysed). If the option ..randomize playback speed at any new loop cycle.. would be optional, the cycled playback would be more human/natural (unstatic).

ps: A wonderful tool on windows by the way. I came from mac to pc just for using it for webcontent triggering (which could get analysed). I would love to use it on the mac for shure.

Throwing in something like..(below).. to the macro list seems to do the job on playback loops.
RUN ACTION | WAIT SECONDS | %random_5-30%
Even when the macro simply play-loppes over and over again the (timing) result always differs.

Hi Steve, i'm also interested in the update version (beta) for checking out random options.
Beeing a newbe to the MiniMouseMacroPro app, i'm looking for random timing features.
If i understand it right, Macros (in the macrolist) are played one after the other. Can the
playback of recorded macros (from the macro list) be in a random order?

Thanks for your support.

Playbook from the macro list be in a random order...interesting i have never thought of that. No, it can't be done randomly through the macro list. Assuming you have a list of qued up macro's.
One way to get this working, and there would be few diffent ways to get this working using conditions, could be something like this:

1 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER1%::%RANDOM_1-3%
2 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER1% | = | 1 | DEFINE STRING VARIABLE | %STRING%::macro1.mmmacro
3 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER1% | = | 2 | DEFINE STRING VARIABLE | %STRING%::macro2.mmmacro
4 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER1% | = | 3 | DEFINE STRING VARIABLE | %STRING%::macro3.mmmacro
5 | FOR | EACH | LINE IN | D:\Macro\test\%string% | RUN
6 | RUN ACTION | DEFINE INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER%::+1
7 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %INTEGER% | < | 3 | GOTO MACRO LINE | 1
Here I have 3 macros named macro1.mmmacro through to macro3.mmmacro.
I use the RANDOM variable to define a random value of 1, 2, or 3 to INTEGER1.
I then define the STRING variable to one of the macro files given the value of INTEGER1 using an IF condition.
At line 5 I run that macro file using the FOR EACH LINE IN statement.
At line 6 I increment the INTEGER variable counter.
At line 7 if the INTEGER counter is less than 3 then we loop back to line 1, otherwise we end the macro.

If your looking to try the update before release shoot me an email at [e-mail]. I'll reply with a link to the pro version if your a pro customer or the regular version.

Hi Steve, thanks for the info. Running your example for random macro playback (from the folder), it is needed to have macro's qued up in the macro list ..as you've mentioned. I guess these macro's in the macro list should better not be looped (per macro) ..right? What about the overall loop option of the whole macro list? (the macro list never reaches an end item)

Regards

Hi Mseonmrs,

I have a Macro for non-repeating random macro list if your interested but it does still need some work.
The problem with this macro is it takes longer to find a non used number the less numbers there are,
If there was a variable for RANDOM to not include numbers for instance %RANDOM_1-9!1::4::5%
This would give a random number between 1 and 9 but not including number 1, 4 or 5.
If you could also add numbers to exclude on the fly, would make this work alot better.

If your not concerned with it repeating the numbers then you could use this.
If your not sure how to implement this just replace the RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT part with what you wish to do.

That's great! Having "strict" (?) random not repeating any items would be perfect, but anyways ..having these random options at hand is real helpful. Regards

EDIT: I'd really like to go on with the second example. You've mentioned:" ...just replace the RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT part with what you wish to do."
How would the ACTION be for triggering a recorded macro loaded from the disc ..waiting for each single macro to finish (+/-3 min recording) to go on with the
next one (randomly)? Loading and running another macro ..clears the actual macro list? I can' quite find any info about in the condition section #RUNACTION.
How is it done? I've typed my very simples thoughts below..

* | Random List
* | R1
11 | RUN ACTION | load macro1 file from disk | run it one time | wait until it is finished
12 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | Random Control
* | R2
13 | RUN ACTION | load macro2 file from disk | run it one time | wait until it reaches it end
14 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | Random Control
* | R3

Many regards



EDIT2:

I Just came across these infos about triggering macros etc...
minimousemacro.proboards.com/thread/203/play-macro-another
www.turnssoft.com/conditions.html#runprogram

1 | RUN ACTION | RUN PROGRAM | C:\Users\Zeak\Macros\MiniMouseMacro.exe::C:\Users\Zeak\Macros\Macro2.mmmacro

Trying to put it together ..using your random second example ..and the #runprogram infos, the macro might look something like:

* | Random List
* | R1
11 | RUN ACTION | RUN PROGRAM | C:\Users\XYZ\Macros\MiniMouseMacro.exe::C:\Users\Zeak\Macros\Macro1.mmmacro /e
12 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | Random Control
* | R2
13 | RUN ACTION | RUN PROGRAM | C:\Users\XYZ\Macros\MiniMouseMacro.exe::C:\Users\Zeak\Macros\Macro2.mmmacro /d 300
14 | RUN ACTION | GOTO MACRO LINE | Random Control
* | R3

NOTE: Since it's needed to pause the 1st macro for the 2nd macro to come to an end (they are all about 3-5 miniute recordings),
i added the infos (arguments) of #runprogram (see link) to "End program and close after macro ends" (/e) ..or .."Delay macro x
amount of milliseconds" (d x). I think the argument "End program.." is actually pretty good to clean things up on a single screen.

Thanks

ps: ..quite nice reaching this point

[mseonmrs]

Actually having a difficult time running the second example. One time it works, one time not. What i do is copy & paste
the 2nd example in the _MMM Macro Editor window_ and then _Save to macro list_ for running it. That always works, but

saving this macro to file and loading again (another day) does never work. Running multiple instances of MMM might not be

the best (for my projects), my first approach to put things together went all over the place. Seems not done quickly. ;-)

Maybe oneday a _random playback option_ find its way to the _Macro Queue_ via an update. That would really solve much.

Maybe if something like this worked.

%RANDOM_1-5% | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | 1::1::0
%RANDOM_1-5% | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | 2::2::0
%RANDOM_1-5% | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | 3::3::0
%RANDOM_1-5% | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | 4::4::0
%RANDOM_1-5% | RUN ACTION | MESSAGE PROMPT | 5::5::0
But unfortunately the macro list row numbers don't play much part in the macro.
