running clock in a menu

Hi I have my desktop and there is a clock (it uses minecraft Time) but i have the problem that it doesnt update without open the file again.

here a part of the code

Spoiler

term.setTextColor(colors.white)
shell.run"cd //"
file = fs.open("loginSettins/curUser", "r")
version = file.readLine()
file.close()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print(version)
shell.run"cd //"
shell.run"cd OS"

term.setBackgroundColor(tonumber(farbe))
term.setTextColor(colors.white)
———————————————————————–
local time = os.time()
local formattedTime = textutils.formatTime(time, false)
term.setCursorPos(44,1)
print(formattedTime)
————————————————————————
while true do
local event, button, X, Y = os.pullEvent("mouse_click")
XY = X..","..Y

if XY == "48,17" and button == 1 then
shell.run"clear"
shell.run"dmenu"
end

To me, it doesn't look like it updates even with a click. Regardless, you'll want to use os.startTimer and the timer event to update your clock.

no it only uptades if the desktop was open again .

Write some thing like this:

while true do
  local timer = os.startTimer(1)
  local event = {os.pullEvent()}
  if event[1] == "timer" then
   drawClock()
  else
	click handling code
  end
end

I hope it helped you;)

sorry forgot this:

after the else add this:

os.cancelTimer(timer)

Build it in but no clock …

Code :
while true do

local timer = os.startTimer(1)
local event = {os.pullEvent()}
local time = os.time()
local formattedTime = textutils.formatTime(time, false)
local event, button, X, Y = os.pullEvent("mouse_click")
XY = X..","..Y

if event[1] == "timer" then
term.setCursorPos(5,5)
print(formattedTime)
end
else
if XY == "48,17" and button == 1 then
shell.run"clear"
shell.run"dmenu"
end

while true do
local timer = os.startTimer(1)
local event = {os.pullEvent()}
if event[1] == "timer" then
local formattedTime = textutils.formatTime( os.time(), false)
term.setCursorPos(5,5)
print(formattedTime)
elseif event[1] == "mouse_click" then
if event[2] == 1 and event[3] == 48 and event[4] == 17 then
shell.run"clear"
shell.run"dmenu"
end

I cleaned up your code and made a little bit more effective.

You are drawing the variable formattedTime, but never updating that value.

whose code are you talking about>

His, you ninja'd me.

Muhahahahahaha, here come the evil ask a pro helper. ;)/>

I have to clean this code :D/> :D/>

Your code is a little bit of a mess. I see you are using loads of bottons. If you want to relieve your work, try Interact. I'll explain to you how it works. ;)/>

But sure how does it work

Here is a link to the wiki. Expect the documentation to be ready in some 30 mins.

This results into some weird timing, each time you click, a new clock starts ticking.
So you don't get a timer event each seconds anymore, I would recommend something like this instead if you really want it each seconds.

local timer = os.startTimer(1)
while true do
  local event = {os.pullEvent()}
  if event[1] == "timer" and event[2] == timer then
    drawClock()
    timer = os.startTimer(1)

You'll need to define the drawClock() function for either of those code snippets to work.

I dont know why but the website doesnt open i see only the github logo and nothing more

could you do that in my code ? :D/>

Well no, basically just put the clock drawing code inside it. It's up to you how it works.

Now, you can use the link ;)/>
