[jawsscripts] Re: Help with a script

Hi Doug,

In the situations where I have used it, the single press code has run very 
quickly, so I did not need to consider the problem you expressed.

By experiment, I chose 3 as a reasonable compromise between not waiting too 
long to hear the single press info, & not having the single press info begin 
to speak before being cut off by the second press.

I guess it all depends on how quick one is at the double hit, & one's 
expectation of a response. smile.

Regards,
Paul

Paul, I like. :)

One question though:  Why delay(3) instead of delay(5), to match the
normal IsSameScript() timeout?  Normally, when I have to worry about
this problem, it's because the single-press task is time-consuming and
would otherwise complicate even reaching the multi-press task.  A
delay of 3 would make task 1 run faster but would not solve that
particular problem.

I've normally used ScheduleFunction to handle this situation, but
that's a little messier in code.

Btw, to the original poster:  My apologies, I think I misread what you
had already tried.  On this list, I don't always know who is new and
who is not. :)

Hi,

there are several valid ways of approaching this.

Below is my preferred method.
The line:
Delay (3) IF IsKeyWaiting () THEN RETURN ENDIF

smoothes the saying of any information in the double hit situation, & is
optional


Script TestOnF8 ()

IF IsSameScript () THEN ; double or more hits

SayString ("double") ; for testing only

; do the double hit things

ELSE ;single hit

Delay (3) IF IsKeyWaiting () THEN RETURN ENDIF

SayString ("single") ; for testing only

; do the single hit things

ENDIF

EndScript

Hello list, Here's my scenario.

I created a script, but I want it to perform something different if that
script's key is pressed twice in a row. I'm aware of the IsSameScript
function, however the IsSameScript function performs the original script
ones before doing whatever I call if the IsSameScript function is true.
Basically, I want the script to run something if the key is pressed once,
and something completely different if the key is pressed twice. No matter
what, when I press the key twice, the second set of instructions is
performed, but the first set is also performed. I want a way to stop it from
doing so. I've tried if statements, using values returned from the
IsSameScript function, but no go.  Any ideas???

Thanks, D!J!X!
