Calling Different function in threads
-
Hi, i want to call a different function in every thread simultaneously
How can i do that ?
Example:
thread 1 -> function 1
thread 2 -> function 2
thread 3 -> function 3
All at the same timeThank you and i hope someone has an answer to this
-
@bogdan You can use the "Script statistic\Thread number" action to save the thread index to a variable, then use "Script logic\If" to branch depending on the thread index and call the required function.
-
@daemons using"thread number" will output the thread index and the "if" will call a single function
I want to call different functions simultaneous in different threads
-
@bogdan You cannot really run multiple functions "simultaneously within one thread". But you can instantiate the "seed" threads 1, 2, 3. In turn, they would each launch its own multithreaded (can be different) function. Each thread of a multithreaded function would be assigned a unique index. The seed threads and the function threads would be the same-level citizens in the common thread pool.
Does this answer what you wanted to ask?

@daemons "I want to call different functions simultaneous in different threads"
-
@bogdan Then I suppose my answer should help you :)
-
@daemons Use seed threads and run a different function from each of them.

@daemons Sorry bud still didn't understand what you wrote there .... but hey if somebody else has any idea what i'm talking about you're welcome to jump in

@daemons You might be confused by the way the project is run in the Record mode. It's single-threaded only. You would not be able to observe thread index branching using this mode. You should use the Run mode to use all this. Piece together a simple demo project and use the Log action to see how it works in multiple threads.

@daemons Strange but it works .... i have to wrap my head around this logic ....i'm a ubot user and the logic is different
Thanks bud for the help

@bogdan Hell, why not? "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough"
I hate to be misunderstood ))
Here's a demo script for what you were asking 0_1519329231828_test05.xml
Make sure to launch in the Run mode. See the Log.
Pay attention to the "Thread spawning artifact" messages in the script. They are because of guards preventing surplus threads to be spawned. BAS always maintains the number of threads specified in the "Thread Number" parameter (next to script execution buttons in the Record mode) and so respawns more threads when previous ones terminated.

@daemons Thanks again bud , this really helped me

@bogdan A while back, I considered Ubot too, but chose to go with BAS. Only watched tutorials and read reviews, though. It still seems that BAS is much more powerful, FREE, extendable and well-maintained.
You might want to upvote my answers if you like, to help the BAS community.

@daemons the keyword is "FREE" and "FAST"
