    Note that you can only use whole seconds with the timer.

      excellent, works like a dream thanks dude. I can now finally say SOLVED

      now I know this isnt related to my initial question however you guys know your stuff and I dont want to go making yet another topic. is there anyway to set a variable in ruby like you can in javascript.

      in my toolbar I have two tools that rely on each other, a compress tool and a checkout tool before you checkout you need to compress.

      is there anyway that only my tools even I can have it so that when you click compress it sets a variable like:
      compress = true

      and my default have compress = false then on my checkout tool have:

      if (compress = true){
      event
      }
      else {
      alert
      }

        Use
        if compress {...
        or
        if compress == true {...
        to test if compress IS true
        BUT NOT
        if compress = true {...
        Which will set compress to true and therefore always return true ?
        = sets a variable to a value
        == compares two values

          Assuming you have wrapped your code in a module, use an instance variable: @compressed.

            @compress = "no"
            
            # EXPLODE TOOL
                 model=Sketchup.active_model
                 cmd = UI;;Command.new("Explode"){
             result = UI.messagebox "This will Compress your Climbing Frame meaning you cannot edit past this point!\n\n Would you like to continue?\n\nNote; Only Do This Once Per Model", MB_YESNO
             if result == 6 # Yes
               model.entities.to_a.each{|e|e.explode if e.class==Sketchup;;Group or e.class==Sketchup;;ComponentInstance}
               Morisdov.att_get
               @compress = "yes"
             end
                 }
                 cmd.small_icon = "finished.png"
                 cmd.large_icon = "finished.png"
                 cmd.tooltip = "Compress | Compress your Climbing Frame"
                 cmd.status_bar_text = "Compressing your Climbing Frame"
                 cmd.menu_text = "Compress"
                 toolbar = toolbar.add_item cmd
                 toolbar.show
            
            # VIEW CART
                 model=Sketchup.active_model
                 cmd = UI;;Command.new("Explode"){

            	 if compress == "no" {UI.messagebox("Before Viewing Your Cart Make Sure You Have Compressed Your Climbing Frame\n\nNote; You Only Need to Compress Once")}
                 }
                 cmd.small_icon = "check.png"

                 cmd.tooltip = "View Cart | View a List of Items Used"
                 cmd.status_bar_text = "Loading Cart"
                 cmd.menu_text = "View Cart"
                 toolbar = toolbar.add_item cmd
                 toolbar.show
            

            Thanks for the help by the way guys, much appreciated

              At some point you refer to compress when it should always be @compress πŸ˜’

                And you are better of using true and false instead of strings "yes", "no" - strings are very slow. and "yes" and "no" both evaluates to true.

                If you get errors then please post them. They help pinpoint specifically what is going on. "some error" is to vague to make any good guess.

                    You're thinking Jsvascript. Your If Else syntax is wrong.

                          The toolbar_names method is used to returns the name of all the available toolbars (this differs between PC and Mac).

                          > UI.toolbar_names ["Standard", "Principle", "Camera", "Drawing", "Edit", "Construction", "Walk", "DisplayMode", "StandardViews", "Section", "Google", "GettingStarted", "VCB"]

                          I dont suppose you know what the toolbar name would be for the large toolset do you?

                          Thanks,

                              Updated my previous post, to give send_action integers, and info on the DC ruby toolbar.

                              I'm not here much anymore.

                                It does NOT have a string identifer that works with UI.toolbar_names or UI.set_toolbar_visible, etc.

                                This is a bug in the API; we have asked that it be fixed.

                                Misspelled argument: 'Principle' for the Principal toolbar.

                                The missing arguments: %(#000000)[**identifier]%(#F0F0F0)[____]%(#000000)[tb_ID]%(#F0F0F0)[_]%(#000000)[send_action int "LargeToolSet"]%(#F0F0F0)[_]%(#000000)[(211)]%(#F0F0F0)[__]%(#000000)[23056 "Layers"]%(#F0F0F0)[_______]%(#000000)[(220)]%(#F0F0F0)[__]%(#000000)[21132 "Shadows"]%(#F0F0F0)[______]%(#000000)[(103)]%(#F0F0F0)[__]%(#000000)[10546**]

                                NOTE: %(#000000)[**"Dynamic Components"]%(#F0F0F0)[_]%(#000000)[(59648)]** is a ruby toolbar (not a native toolbar.)
                                You must use UI.toolbar('Dynamic Components') with the .visible?, .restore, .hide and .show methods.

                                I'm not here much anymore.
