Recently I posted a sample project showing two stopwatches:
They may be a better choice than the Timer learning interaction -in some circumstances . To extend the functionality of these stopwatches to include minutes, you need JavaScript. This intro is without JS, just using a typical feature of the While loop.
Although this feature appeared with the refurbished Advanced Actions dialog post in CP2017, I rarely see projects using the While loop except some games. Such a loop can be eternal or limited to a a specific number or repeating commands. It is always based on a condition, but the result is different from the older ‘IF’ condition.
To break an eternal (or limited) loop, you need a combination of two conditions with the AND operator. The second condition will probably refer to a variable. I used a Boolean variable as you’ll see below. That variable needs to be changed by another action. Example:
IF 1 is equal to 1 AND
v_stop is equal to 0
As long as the variable v_stop remains equal to 0, the loop will continue. But if the variable is toggled to 1, the loop will be broken.
No system variables were used. You need to create 3 user variables:
Both v_time and v_stop are reset to their default values (0). The frame number in v_start is needed for the Reset action.
These actions are slightly different for both stopwatches. This is the digital version:
The button used in this version has a custom state to replace the Normal state when the Pause button is used. It has the text Restart. The variable v_stop needs to be reset to 0, because it could have been toggled to 1 when the Pause button was used.
The combined condition for the While loop has been explained before.
The version for the Analog stopwatch:
Needle is a shape with a transparent part to be able to apply a rotation effect. The technique has been described in this blog ‘Reference point in Captivate‘.
The rotation effect was defined as a custom effect. If you want more information, have a look at:
How to use a Custom effect in an (advanced) action
As explained in the Replay/Reset blog, this action needs only one command:
In this use case the Continue command is superfluous, since Captivate is waiting from the first frame for a click on a button.
