I had actaully attempted to do something similar. However, the numbers were signifigantly off. When I did a check every second, a fall of 500m (which should take a hair more than 10 seconds) took 13 seconds. When I changed the numbers so it measured in 1/50 second chunks, it got worse, but I think my math may have been the blame there.
My current trial gets me a number of ~9 seconds.

Thanks for the help, though. Is there any way to make the function send a click at exactly one second instead of waiting for the subroutines under it to finish? Basically, can the function run while something else is going?
