The OnEffectFinished item is great! I've been using it off and on in different mods for a while.
The mail mod uses it to update the text box description of the attachment, my price entry mod used to use 4 of them to key in the price it had in memory, one button every 0.2 seconds - until I found out it was possible to just press all the buttons at the same time and still get them to execute in a predictable order.
One caution: A window cannot close while an effector is running, so if you have a 30 second delay going on, but someone wants to close the window - they'll be staring at it until your effector finishes.
I'm also using an effector in the cartesian addition thread in this forum about adding coordinates together. The fastest speed I've found that does anything is 9.9 - 10 and anything that rounds to 10 appears to be infinite speed. Maybe they used the Star Trek Warp Scale?
Two Caution: Messing with OnEffectFinished seems to be a REALLY good way to crash UI Builder. Save your beautiful work before touching it. Nice innocous looking pieces of code swing up the "UIBuilder needs to close" window.
Good Luck
Mother
