I got the idea the event wouldn't happen all time and wouldn't require a pause every second of .8 second.

Even if there was only .2 seconds couldn't he do like 200 commands doing something else?

Just to me, a pause for an intermittent event would make more sense.

PS Maybe ifn I knew all of what he was trying to do I wouldn't make a poor suggestion like that. You'd also have to work harder than that to be rude. Teach on.
