Insert wait time

Ejlersen

Hi

Does anyone know of a way to insert a waiting time in skill?

sometimes it seems like the skill code proceeds even though e.g. axlShell or runBatchFile commands are not finished. 

Best regards

  • If putting a UI based program in a bat file sometimes you need to use the cmd.exe "start" command to have the bat file wait for the UI program to finish. For example, if you want to run allegro from a bat file you would need:

      start /wait allegro

     See http://ss64.com/nt/start.html

    The problem you have with setx is that it only effects new programs not existing programs. Allegro does not dynamically update itself based upon changes to system environment variables that might be changed by its spawned children. Allegro reads the system environment variables only at startup.
