I want to add microsecond timings with the datetime module to the senaryoXX sections of the code I wrote, but no matter what I did, I couldn't succeed. Can you help me? Also, if there are any obvious errors in the code, I would be glad if you could help me, thank you.

#

wheres the error this works as intended doesnt it?

#

also as there is a pattern in ur times u should think to reduce that hardcode part

round wasp Aug 25, 2024, 6:10 PM

#

The code works without any problems.

uncut void Aug 25, 2024, 6:10 PM

#

so in which line u try to add microseconds?

round wasp Aug 25, 2024, 6:11 PM

#

I just want to add milliseconds or microseconds next to the minutes and seconds in the section you showed, but I couldn't do it.

#

for example

#

from datetime import datetime
ct = datetime.now()
print([ct.replace(minute=m, second=s, milisecond=ms) for m, s, ms in [(5, 12, 500000), (5, 543, 355555)]]
)

?

round wasp Aug 25, 2024, 6:13 PM

#

this works like this but when i write in this part the code isn't working

uncut void Aug 25, 2024, 6:13 PM

#

also consider to combine/generalize ur senaryoXX functions and the list of tuple timings

round wasp Aug 25, 2024, 6:15 PM

#

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/GFAA this is example

#

i changed part of my code like this but it isn't working

uncut void Aug 25, 2024, 6:17 PM

#

            if (current_time.hour == target_time.hour and
                    current_time.minute == target_time.minute and
                    current_time.second == target_time.second and
                    current_time.microsecond // 1000 == target_time.microsecond // 1000 and

why u dont compare dt.obj with dt.obj?

round wasp Aug 25, 2024, 6:17 PM

#

For example, the code snippet required for hour (5, 12, 500) is not executed.

#

what do you want to say

#

i dont understand

#

can you explain more explanatory

uncut void Aug 25, 2024, 6:18 PM

#

u comapre all values expect for date (hour, min, sec, msec) why not compare the dt obj themself?

short ocean Aug 25, 2024, 6:19 PM

#

the current time might not be exact, as it might be some microseconds off from the target time, I guess.

uncut void Aug 25, 2024, 6:20 PM

#

mh i see ok

short ocean Aug 25, 2024, 6:20 PM

#

though you could probably just round and replace it as needed, and then just compare them

#

the date should be the same anyway

uncut void Aug 25, 2024, 6:21 PM

#

my thoughts as it looks ugly and unnecessarily complicated

uncut void Aug 25, 2024, 6:21 PM

#

round wasp For example, the code snippet required for hour (5, 12, 500) is not executed.

this should work as 500*1000 is 0,5sec

#

!e

from datetime import datetime
ct = datetime.now()
new_time_tuple = (0, 1, 500*1000)
print(ct.replace(minute=new_time_tuple[0], second=new_time_tuple[1], microsecond=new_time_tuple[-1]))

i agree with you but its not working

#

I'm making a mistake in some part but I don't know where.

short ocean Aug 25, 2024, 6:25 PM

#

what exactly is that code even supposed to do?

round wasp Aug 25, 2024, 6:25 PM

#

makes the necessary clicks and keystrokes at the specified local times

#

it works local minutes and seconds

uncut void Aug 25, 2024, 6:26 PM

#

for what purpose?

round wasp Aug 25, 2024, 6:26 PM

to automate a task that requires manual effort in a game

uncut void Aug 25, 2024, 6:27 PM

this is just a game

short ocean Aug 25, 2024, 6:31 PM

I'd assume your time.sleep can cause isses

#

you jump 500 ms with that, so probably miss a lot of exact ms matches

uncut void Aug 25, 2024, 6:33 PM

#

@short ocean so its cool to help out even tho might violate ToS?

round wasp Aug 25, 2024, 6:33 PM

iI tried removing the timesleeps at the end of the senaryo functions but it didn't work

I definitely get matches with your code. I only reduced the conditions to the datetime parts and removed the "execute_times" stuff. So no idea if that might cause issues. Aside from the time.sleep, I don't really see any issues with your code.

#

(except of course that nearly all your values stop at around 24 minute, and it's 20:36 for me, so I needed to add some test values)

uncut void Aug 25, 2024, 6:36 PM

#

in terms of performance bottlenecks i would suggest to try numpy instead of datetime for comparisons

i'm testing like this who wants to wait ten hours 😄

I will try this in my next project thanks

short ocean Aug 25, 2024, 6:41 PM

#

I'd at least try to add a print into your fi bodies to see if any are true.

round wasp Aug 25, 2024, 6:42 PM

#

It is very interesting that it works for minutes and seconds but does not work when microseconds are involved.

uncut void Aug 25, 2024, 6:44 PM

#

create a elif which excludes the ms match requiered and check the returns

uncut void Aug 25, 2024, 7:14 PM

#

to not let this die as im kinda curious now i think python isnt the best lang to write such code maybe C would be more appropriate

@round wasp think this improves the needed resources let me know how much RAM u used before and now 😉

round wasp Aug 25, 2024, 7:32 PM

i'll change my code like this but I still can't figure out the millisecond problem.

uncut void Aug 25, 2024, 7:32 PM

#

the problem was that ur convertion was faulty

#

atleast i think that was the problem

#

also see what i marked out could help to pre-sample

#

note these now arent 1/10 sec they are indeed microsecs, so this runs super fast and efficient while finding matches

ontop of checking if matches are even possible u should adjust so the code resets after each minute or so, if the script misses one value ull run eternally
