Hi guys,

I try make a test to displaying a text (in iterating letter) by a timer function.

With long way method :

Code:

function text_looper()
reset()
c=createTimer(nil)
c.Interval=1000
c.OnTimer=function(c)
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel1, true)
control_setCaption(UDF1.CELabel1, 'H')
end
c.Enabled=true

o1=createTimer(nil)
o1.Interval=2000
o1.OnTimer=function(o1)
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel2, true)
control_setCaption(UDF1.CELabel2, 'a')
end
o1.Enabled=true

r1=createTimer(nil)
r1.Interval=3000
r1.OnTimer=function(r1)
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel3, true)
control_setCaption(UDF1.CELabel3, 'c')
end
r1.Enabled=true

r2=createTimer(nil)
r2.Interval=4000
r2.OnTimer=function(r2)
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel4, true)
control_setCaption(UDF1.CELabel4, 'k')
end
r2.Enabled=true

o2=createTimer(nil)
o2.Interval=5000
o2.OnTimer=function(o2)
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel5, true)
control_setCaption(UDF1.CELabel5, 'i')
end
o2.Enabled=true

d=createTimer(nil)
d.Interval=6000
d.OnTimer=function(d)
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel6, true)
control_setCaption(UDF1.CELabel6, 'n')
end
d.Enabled=true

e=createTimer(nil)
e.Interval=7000
e.OnTimer=function(e)
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel7, true)
control_setCaption(UDF1.CELabel7, 'g')
end
e.Enabled=true

r3=createTimer(nil)
r3.Interval=8000
r3.OnTimer=function(r3)
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel8, true)
control_setCaption(UDF1.CELabel8, 's')
end
r3.Enabled=true

cl=createTimer(nil)
cl.Interval=9000
cl.OnTimer=function(cl)
reset()
end
cl.Enabled=true
reset()
end

function reset()
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel1, false)
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel2, false)
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel3, false)
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel4, false)
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel5, false)
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel6, false)
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel7, false)
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel8, false)
end

---- test
text_looper()

When it run, text "Hackings" displaying letter by letter in right sequential with a time difference of 1 second displays each letter, but after reset() function, the text display not in the order. Does someone should help to fix the problem ?

Next, if use :

Code:

text=tostring("Hackings")
a = string.sub(text,1) --- give result "Hackings"
print(a)

How to put "for..do" and give timer (/1 seconds every iterate letters) to display in order ?

Sorry for bad explanation in bad English

Code:

text = "Hacking"
index = 1

c=createTimer(nil)
c.Interval=1000
c.OnTimer=function(c)
if index <= #text then
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel1, true)
control_setCaption(UDF1.CELabel1, text:sub(1,index)
index = index + 1
end
end
c.Enabled=true

function reset()
index = 1
end

Thank so much Zanzer, I really appreciate it.

I just make little modified with the code and now it's working fine.

Code:

text = "Hacking"
index = 1

c=createTimer(nil)
c.Interval=1000
c.OnTimer=function(c)
if index <= #text then
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel1, true)
control_setCaption(UDF1.CELabel1, text:sub(1,index))
index = index + 1
else
control_setVisible(UDF1.CELabel1, false)
index = 1
end
end
c.Enabled=true

Regards
