On the game I entered last night, AB's Aliens Amoung Us, the gamestats showed this: # of Active Corps are 0 Users? 200 of which 1 are active Ships? 1000 of which 1 are active At the time of it's capture there were 2 corps and about 10 players. So it seems that the gamestats are updated at tern but what about the other info screens? I would like to know the update times for: 1. Daily News screen 2. High Score screen |

Both the daily news and the high score displays are updated as they happen, sometimes during very high processor useage, and a few secs b4 extern it may take a few seconds for these displays to update but that is an extreme. also the v screen display updates hourly. |

The V screen display updates when checked but no more than once per hour. So if someone checks it at 3:15, it will show the same stats until at least 4:15. So if someone else presses V at 4:00, it will show the same info that was shown at 3:15. However, when 4:15 hits, it won't update automatically, it then waits for the next person to hit V. So if the first person to hit it after 4:15 doesn't hit it until 4:45, it will update at that point, give the data for that moment in time, and set the timer for 1 more hour, until 5:45. |

What if you keep pressing "v" in a loop? I've made a script that uses the time off of it as a game timer. Will it ever update if you keep pressing the "v" once a second or less? |

Harley already answered that question... Once per hour. |

Hard to find a trigger that is applicable at all times. The year is the only variable that I can use. I made the script to find the year from the "v" screen to be the message to trigger on when I then go to to loop on the computer time. |

Trigger on AM and PM? |

One of the first things I tried. It can't tell if it is "AM" or "PM" so if I try to run it at the wrong time of day, it just hangs. |

Do both. Something like: send "ctq" waitOn "(?=Help)? T" killtrigger am_trig killtrigger pm_trig setTextLineTrigger am_trig :parse_time " AM" setTextLineTrigger pm_trig :parse_time " PM" pause :parse_time killtrigger am_trig killtrigger pm_trig setVar $line CURRENTLINE stripText $line "," replaceText $line ":" " " # Do more stuff with $line here. Returning so far: # 05 55 34 AM Tue Jan 09 2018 # So it's now rather easy to parse stuff w/ getword. # hh mm ss AM/PM Gameday mm dd yy |
