E2 help (wait?)

[HKcole]

ok so im making a chip.
i don't have the code now but what it does it every 3 seconds the sign(text screen) changes to another string.
at first i thought a lua code (wait(100)) would work.
but it didnt.

still unresolved.
thanks for trying? -_-

Be more specific then. I thought you were asking for something similar to a wait command.

An interval(3000) would make your code execute every 3 seconds, if you want something changing every 3 seconds that's probably what you need :/

If you want it to go to a random one every three seconds you could do something like this

for 5 strings

@name Random String thingy
@outputs RandomString:string
@persist Number String1:string String2:string String3:string String4:string String5:string
interval(3000)
Number=round(random(1,5))
String1="A"
String2="B"
String3="C"
String4="D"
String5="E"
if(Number==1){RandomString=String1}
if(Number==2){RandomString=String2}
if(Number==3){RandomString=String3}
if(Number==4){RandomString=String4}
if(Number==5){RandomString=String5}

if(Number=4){RandomString=String4}
if(Number=5){RandomString=String5}

That code will not work, you have to use the == operator for comparisons.

@name RandString
@persist Strings:array String
interval(3000)
Strings[1, string] = "1"
Strings[2, string] = "2"
Strings[3, string] = "3"
String = Strings[round(randint(1, 3)), string]

Shortened :3

[jacoby6000]

@name RandString
@persist Strings:array String
interval(3000)
Strings = array("1","2","3")
String = Strings[round(randint(1, Strings:count())), string]

Shortened :3

Shortened* and can add any number of strings

See even though my code had the equal sign problem it still managed to get a nice code.
