Hi Marc,

I am working on a stack with 4 sections each section has more than 20
cards. I need to limit the time spent on each section (e.g. 20 minutes
for section 1). When the time is up I need to have the user taken the
end of that section.
I would appreciate script samples that will set the duration for a group
of cards and no matter where in that group skip to the end of the group
of cards when the time is up.
Any help would greatly appreciated.
Whenever you have a time limit like the ones you describe, you can use the timer
built into one form of Rev's "send" command. For example, when a section is
started, a handler somewhere could issue this command:
send "moveToNextSection" to this stack in (20*60) seconds
That would cause the "moveToNextSection" handler to be executed in 20 minutes.
If a student finishes a section in less than 20 minutes, you probably want to
cancel the command. here's how:
local vSectionTimer -- declared outside and above all handlers
on sectionStart
send "moveToNextSection" to this stack in (20*60) seconds
put the result into vSectionTimer -- the ID of this pendingMessage
end sectionStart
on sectionEnd -- student finished section in less than 20 min
cancel vSectionTimer
end sectionEnd
on moveToNextSection
go to last card of grp "Section1"
end moveToNextSection
You can trigger the Start and End handlers with openCard and closeCard handlers,
and there are probably some other ways.
Take a look at 'the pendingMessages' also.
Hope this helps.
