Time loop control - 38348259 - 05.05.2020

Hi everyone. I am a new LM and lua user, I wonder how can I realize the time loop control? e.g. when I trigger 1/1/1=1, then 1/1/2=1, 1s,1/1/3=1, 1s, 1/1/4=1, and return. When I trigger 1/1/1=0, stop the loop. Thanks a lot

I would do it by two scripts. First event attached to your 1/1/1 which will enable/disable the second resident script.

Code:
value = event.getvalue()

if value then

 script.enable('loop')

else

script.disable('loop')

end

Second is resident script with interval of 1s and such code.

Code:
grp.write('1/1/2', true)

os.sleep(1)

grp.write('1/1/3', true)

os.sleep(1)

grp.write('1/1/4', true)

In this example I called resident script 'loop' if you use different name change it in the first script

Yes but running while loop in event based script for a longer time it is not the best idea. This is the most efficient way for processes. Otherwise you have to make sure that you won't run the same script more than once before ending the previous script.
