How can I set a delay with the HTML 5 client

Araeus

I am trying to set an alias where I can def up when I enter realms and some things require mineral balance, or that I regain equlibrium. How can I set a delay to allow for this?

Trevize

I don't know about the HTML client, to be honest, but the general best way to do that is to make a trigger for the balance, and every time you recover, do the next thing on a list. Track defences/etc with variables.

As Trevize said, the best way probably isn't to use a delay (they can be thrown off by all kinds of things). I've only used the HTML5 client a small amount, and didn't do all that much with it, but it uses JavaScript so you want the setTimeout function:

var delayedAction = setTimeout(function() {
     // do something
}, 1000);

The // do something is where you'd put the action you want to perform; I can't remember the function used to send something to Achaea. 1000 is the delay in milliseconds (so that's a 1 second delay). The delayedAction variable also stores the timeout so you can, if you wish, get rid of it before it goes off using the clearTimeout function:

clearTimeout(delayedAction);

I am not sure if this still works, with the new update, but you can always try it..

onGMCP try this

// balance tracker

if (bal =="0") {

   set_variable ("balance", "0");

} else if (bal =="1") {

   set_variable ("balance", 1);   

}

// equili tracker

if (eq == "0") {

  set_variable ("equilibrium", "0");

} else if (eq=="1"){

  set_variable ("equilibrium", "1");

}

now create 2 variables, one called equilibrium and one balance.  this will keep track of those variables..

create a new function 

if (get_variable("balance")=="1" && get_variable ("equilibrium")=="1"){

send_direct ("harvest plants");

}

I think this should work.

this looks nice! I was looking for a timer that updates, and prints the time I have left every second. This is what I have got so far.  Its not updating the timer for some reason. any ideas?

var delayedAction = setTimeout(function() {

  

     

    var timer = timer - 1000;

    print("time left is " + timer);

}, 1000);

as for now it only prints "time left is NaN"

edit: nevermind I go tit.
