lua How to loop? to edit and repeat the automatic edit many times?

[acl12]

Hello everyone, I would like to know how I could write a script that allows me
1º Find value
2º Edit and after 5 seconds or more let it edit but let it loop until you can stop the process.
Example

gg .searchNumber ("5; 523; 2", gg .TYPE_DWORD)

gg .refineNumber ("523", gg .TYPE_DWORD)

gg .editAll ("85", gg .TYPE_DWORD)

After editing the value it changes therefore I want it to be edited again with the same but without pressing anything, only automatic

    gg .sleep (1000)
     gg .toast ("3 seg")
     gg .sleep (1000)
     gg .toast ("2 seg")
     gg .sleep (1000)
     gg .toast ("1 seg")

gg .editAll ("85", gg .TYPE_DWORD)

puede congelar el valor.

 

Yes, that is a good option in my case, I do not want to freeze, I think that with a function I could create the same cycle several times, another example:

function bucle()

gg .searchNumber ("5; 523; 2", gg .TYPE_DWORD)

gg .refineNumber ("523", gg .TYPE_DWORD)

gg.getResults(gg.getResultsCount())

gg .editAll ("85", gg .TYPE_DWORD)

gg .sleep (1000)
     gg .toast ("3 seg")
     gg .sleep (1000)
     gg .toast ("2 seg")
     gg .sleep (1000)
     gg .toast ("1 seg")

bucle()

end

 

But here the problem is that when searching again it takes a long time then, here is my question, can I do that without searching again, just repeating what was edited several times?

If you need to just keep editing values each 5 seconds indefinitely, the following code may suffice: 

while true do
  gg.editAll("85", gg.TYPE_DWORD)
  gg.sleep(5000)
end

Make sure to search only in 1 region (if this value is in 1 region only) for speedup your search

I will try my friend, but would you help me more and how could I add within the same function bucle()

In this case, it would search quickly, but in some low-resource devices, it takes time to search, and more when there are many search numbers, as in my case

you can just freeze the value.

gg.refineNumber("523", gg.TYPE_DWORD)
r = gg.getResults(10) -- or greater than 10

r.flags = gg.TYPE_DWORD
r.value = "85" --The value you want to edit to
r.freezeType = gg.FREEZE_NORMAL
gg.addListItems(r)
gg.setValues(r)
gg.clearResults()
