Event Sleep Command

[manwinc]

I think Event Sleep is probably one of the Most Underused Commands available to us.

Event Sleep will reduce the CPU usage of your Client to 0%. Anyone who has ran multiple scripts and had them lose connection knows just how much CPU this game can eat up when its left at a con loss screen or at the Login Screen. I personally Now use this Command after Con Loss to Prevent my computer from overheating. Here is the Sub I use For Instigating Sleep

 

Code: [Select]

Sub MWinc_Sleep
; Gosub Mwinc_Sleep (Minutes)
Namespace Push
Namespace Local I_love_Da_Boobies
set !Minutes %1
set !Sleep_Timer 60000 * !Minutes
set !Wait_Timer ( ( !Minutes * 60 * 20 ) + 40 )
Event Sleep !Sleep_Timer
Wait !Wait_Timer
Namespace Pop
Return

Si, On a second note its also very important to stagger all logging in/ logging out..... If you don't and attempt to logout/in multiple clients simultaneously..... uhhh..... Yeah, bad idea.

Well hot damn.  This is awesome.  Thanks, and +rep!

Whatever You do, Do not Run a Client Swapping Saluter While you attempt to sleep a client. If you Perform an In game macro on a client that's sleeping, it will actually crash.

I think Sleep sets the Clientthread to sleep.. So never wakue up sleeping dogs

Exactly what Crome said.

Otherwise its still an Excellent Tool for Keeping your CPU down on Logged out Clients.

I kept having crashes on some miners and Couldn't figure it out for the life of me. It was because of the Universal Saluter I was running to keep some other Scripts Logged in.

In Stealth you just could start second Application for Saluting with own thread handling ;-)
If EUO would have Stacks and Events, i would say add commands to Stack , Push new Line execute when Thread not sleeping.

I have this little snippet running on my older machine to reduce CPU lot.  Thx.  Now  where should I try your Sub.

if #CONTNAME = MainMenu_gump
{
event sleep 100
}
