on timeout inside of an if else.... statement

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

hey people, I was wondering if I can get the on timeout to work inside of a(n) if else statement and display a dialog, then after a certain number of seconds - it will close. Is there any way to do that? PM/Email me if any questions arise.

Thanks ahead of time

Is this what you’re looking for ?

set ShortTime to true

if ShortTime then
	set theTimeOut to 2
else
	set theTimeOut to 4
end if

display dialog "..." giving up after theTimeOut
