My macro here->
My goal is:
Call the macro with keyboard -> check if current time earlier than 11pm -> if so, count down for 2 hours and prompt to put my Mac to sleep; otherwise count down for 4 hours and do so.
That's because I'm suffering dry eye for now. And I'd like to constrain the time I spend with my Mac.
There seem to be problems with variable 'ct', could you tell me why?
Haven't had a chance to study your macro, but to answer your question:
Variables scope and type?
see Variables -- scope and availability
Thanks for your help.
It turns out that the hint indicating the current value of variable confused me. I have to try the action first to get the right value!
I don't see any immediate problem with the macro.
The variable ct currently has a value of "" (empty), as can be seen here:
which is why the Pause action shows it as invalid. This is simply because your macro has not run yet - the Pause action can only see what the current value of the variables are not when they might be if the macro had run.
