Schedule script to run on specific times

[Morenomdz]

Hello there, I want to have few dialogs to show on specific times like 10am, another on 6pm etc, is it possible to schedule it to get the local time then go to the a popup object or would I have to keep an ontimer script running to check if the time is compatible? The thing is I already have an ontimer script running on this layout!

 

Thanks!

Are you using FMServer to host the file(s)?  If so, just use a scheduled message - it will appear on all logged in user's screen at the time(s) you specify.  This will work only if all the users are in the same time zone, as you can't query each user's time from this context.  But most people don't run into this problem.

 

You could put in an IF statement in the current on timer script that will check if the time matches what you want and then show a message box if the condition(s) are met.  This method's reliability depends on what the interval level is set to, and if the user doesn't close out the window the on timer is attached to.
