Can I specify a loop time for the macro?

[chyachyamaru]

I often use simple macros such as continuous clicks at 300 ms intervals (150 ms for down and up respectively), but I find that the actual interval when playing the macro is dependent on the condition of my system, i.e. playing the same number of loops results in different playback times, with longer playback times when the system is busier. So can I specify a duration of playback to stop the macro playing?

Hello,

I don’t think you can do exactly that, but this thread might help you:

Hi Chyachyamaru,

First off, Welcome to the Forum.

Yes you can use the internal macro time to determine how long the macro has run for and put a simple stop action if it goes over your desired time.
In the example below line 4 is a if statement that checks against my defined 30 second time.

4 | IF | DECIMAL VARIABLE | %TIME_MACRO% | GREATER THAN | %INTEGER% | STOP

you can also use the below if your not interested in the decimal places.

4 | IF | INTEGER VARIABLE | %TIME_MACRO% | GREATER THAN | %INTEGER% | STOP

Thank you for the suggestion, I think this will solve my problem.
