Description & Settings
01. Count "X" Times and then pass.
Step 01
- Created a variable for set the
count limit.
you can use it as an
input parameter
as well of optimization in your code.
Step 02
- Create another variable to store the counted limit (How many times it has been counted).
Step 03
- Once the
Counter
and your
count
limit is equals, that means it's time to pass the code block specified by you.
Step 04 -
Once the code passed, be sure to
reset the counter
as well. Otherwise, it will count for infinite (in this case). you can set filtering conditions to the Counter block as well. like, >> "IF this is true, then count once."
02. Pass "X" times and then Wait "X" times then pass.
this method can be use as like wait and pass, pass and wait.
Step 01
- Created a variable for set the
count limit
and
wait limit
you can use them as an
input parameters
as well of optimization in your code.
Step 02
- Create another variable to store the counted limit & wait limits (How many times it has been counted and waited).
Step 03
- Once the
Counter
and your
count
limit is equals, that means it's time to pass the code block specified by you.
Step 04 -
Once the waiter and your count wait limit is equals, that means it's time to wait for a little.
Step 04 -
Once the waiting limit is reached, be sure to
reset the counter and
waiter
as well. Otherwise, it will Seese to work (in this case). you can set
filtering conditions
to the Counter block and waiter blocks as well. like, >> "IF this is true, wait a bit"
Special -:
You can code the
"Pass X times and stop"
by modifying the above code by
removing the waiting code block.
Then it will count for specific number and stop works until the counter is rested. You can reset it anywhere in your code if you create these variables in global scale. (global variables)
