To all the wonderfull people on the TBS
A little help please

Does anybody have a timer routine (not pause)
Example input changes state (Timer goes here) then action
It will need to know the timer is already running as to not restart it
I have a few different scenario's that all need to use a timer so it will need to have values passed to it

My first attempt is as follows

TimerSub 1000, Set ' Check Set = 2 for time complete
' Set = 0 to restart timer
' Set = 1 timer in progress

Sub TimerSub Period, Set
If Set >= 1 Then Exit Sub
SetTick period, PTimer
Set = 1
End Sub

PTimer:
Set = 2 ' This would become UserTimer_Name
SetTick 0, 0
IReturn

This works but is a problem when in the main program loop

If I could figuer out a way to create (UserTimer_Name) when using
TimerSub 1000, Set, UserTimer_Name) then all would be solved

If (UserTimer_Name) = 2 Then GoSub BlahBlah
If (UserTime_Name) = 1 Then Return

Many Thanks

John

Why not have the PTimer routine handle the different (UserTimer_Name).

PTimer:
Set = Set + 1
On Set gosub SubRoutine1,Subroutine2, .... etc
IReturn

Microblocks. Build with logic.
