Hello , i'm trying to create a loop with 3 text messages . All of them run in the same time using just a time.sleep to create a pause but i don't know how to make them stop in a given order smth like text1 stop after 10 seconds text 2 stop at 15 and text 3 after 5 , i managed to get this right just for 1 text but don't know how to do it to a number of different texts
import time
import pyautogui,datetime
start = time.time()
PERIOD_OF_TIME = 10 # 10secs
while True :
print(datetime.datetime.now())
pyautogui.typewrite("Text 1")
pyautogui.press("enter")
time.sleep(5)
if time.time() > start + PERIOD_OF_TIME : break
introduce counter for each message and if message reach limit then stop with this message.
This might help get you started
from time import sleep, localtime
texts = {5:'text 1', 10:'text 2', 15:'text 3'}
start_time = localtime().tm_sec
counter = 0
while counter < 20:
counter += 1
sleep(1)
elapsed_time = localtime().tm_sec - start_time
if elapsed_time in texts.keys():
print(f'Elapsed Time: {elapsed_time} - {texts[elapsed_time]}')Output:
Elapsed Time: 5 - text 1
Elapsed Time: 10 - text 2
Elapsed Time: 15 - text 3

thanks a lot , now i just need to see where to put the pyautogui comand , a much better starting that what i had haha
I've not worked with pyautogui so, can't help with that but, as a side note you can also have multiple text for the timers.
from time import sleep, localtime
from random import choice
start_time = localtime().tm_sec
counter = 0
multi_text = ['text 1', 'text 4', 'text 5', 'text 6']
while counter < 120:
texts = {5:choice(multi_text), 10:'text 2', 15:'text 3'}
counter += 1
sleep(1)
elapsed_time = localtime().tm_sec - start_time
if elapsed_time in texts.keys():
print(f'Elapsed Time: {elapsed_time} - {texts[elapsed_time]}')Output:
Elapsed Time: 5 - text 1 # First output
Elapsed Time: 10 - text 2
Elapsed Time: 15 - text 3
Elapsed Time: 5 - text 6 # Second output
Elapsed Time: 10 - text 2
Elapsed Time: 15 - text 3
this giving me some ideas i think , you were golden thanks a lot this is gonna help me
