How to recur a bell, ..while waiting for operator to make selection

[RodM]

Attached my little code snippet and alarm layout.. 

I have 2 buttons     to accept or postpone this triggered alarm...

I want to ring a bell sequence, to recur over & over.... until.... maybe as an option.... 

For waking up operator not near or at their desk.. possibly sleeping on the job!

To perform the alarm action..

 

How might i do this...

 

TIA    rod

Isn't there a plugin for shocks to the user's chair?...I believe it's buried in the OnTimer documentation...

HI,

 

I kludge a couple loops together... they work... inbetween 5 second pause i can select from the 2 button, and do  either of the scripts.. but end up with a script still open?    message top?   to press cancel ///  looking for a smoother more elegant way..

 

And how do you cancel a script by name

 

Thanks.. so much

Rod -

 

Now i am ATTACHED.

 

… I find that in general, there definitely is something de-tached about you … 

 

I kludge a couple loops together […]

 

If you want an infinite loop, just don't specify an exit condition (and make sure the script can be terminated by another mean).

 

Try this; it should take care of the “Accept” part, but I wasn't sure what “Postpone” is supposed to do, and I obviously don't know how the process fits into the larger workflow.

 

Either way, the narrative of the script should be easier to follow …

Thanks , look at your code

.. sort of what I have already.. yours in within one script  

 

 

Wondering..

If there a way to exit a infinite loop and close the script behind you?

And for me inside the loop,  I click button 1 or 2   to exit,  run a different script

 

My example... loop script is not closed    I must click some FM button top 'Continue or Cancel'    what is that?   is there a command to do that ?

 

Thanks again..

The Halt Script (script step), can run via a button on the layout (or be a visible script). It stops all scripts. (Which is why you may not want to use it real often in other scripts, as it will stop all that are running.)

finished.. works.. well
