ok im stuck on something which is probably so simple but i cant see it. look at the code below.. it prints "Do something" every 500ms which is fine... what i want is for the code to for example, jump to function a after 500ms then jump to function b after another 500ms then back to a after another 500ms and so on.. but do you think i can figure it out? NO!


time=timer()
do
x=timer()
if x-time >=500
Print "Do something"
time=x
endif
loop

ok let me be a bit more precise.. i want to start recording a sound and stop after 500ms then start recording again for another 500ms then stop and so on but i dont want to use the wait command as that holds the whole program up. it would be nice if we could check if a recording is already in progress so that we dont try and record while we are already recording. maybe i could write a type of switch that changes from 0 to 1 and back to 0 every 500ms.

Something like this perhaps?



Programming anything is an art, and you can't rush art.
Unless your name is Bob Ross, then you can do it in thirty minutes.

If you don't want the extra function, this will work also.

True, serves me right for programming "old school"

I guess you couldn't just make a function to pass the time as a real argument?
