Of course, the RandomTime variable is not supposed to receive the
LunchEndRelV value; I changed the handler to do so as an illustration
of the problem.
The script worked really well before,
Really surprising statement.
I ran your script under 10.4.11 with four log instructions:
on createRandomTime(AvailableDates, NonAvailablestartTime,
NonAvailableEndTime, DayBeginsV, DayEndsV, lunchbeginsv, LunchEndsV)
set DayStart to 9
set DayEndNUM to 16
set xV to random number from 1 to (count of AvailableDates)
set DateVar to item xV of AvailableDates
set HourV to (random number from DayStart to (DayEndNUM))
set HourV to HourV & ":00" as string
set LunchStartRelV to my MakeTimesRelativeToDate(lunchbeginsv, DateVar)
--Lunch ends at 1:30 PM on the next variable (LunchEndRelV) and it
should stay that way for the duration of the script. Yet, see next
note below.
set LunchEndRelV to my MakeTimesRelativeToDate(LunchEndsV, DateVar)
log LunchEndRelV
set DayStartRelV to my MakeTimesRelativeToDate(DayBeginsV, DateVar)
log LunchEndRelV
set DayEndRelV to my MakeTimesRelativeToDate(DayEndsV, DateVar)
log LunchEndRelV
set startTime to my MakeTimesRelativeToDate(HourV, DateVar)
log LunchEndRelV
--LunchEndRelV changes to a different time every time the script is
run (because HourV is a random number). But this is not what I want.
return LunchEndRelV
end createRandomTime
The log report is:
tell current application
random number from 1 to 5
3
random number from 9 to 16
14
offset of ":" in "12:00"
3
offset of ":" in "13:30"
3
(*Wednesday, September 16, 2009 1:30:00 PM*)
offset of ":" in "8:30"
2
(*Wednesday, September 16, 2009 8:30:00 AM*)
offset of ":" in "16:30"
3
(*Wednesday, September 16, 2009 4:30:00 PM*)
offset of ":" in "14:00"
3
(*Wednesday, September 16, 2009 2:00:00 PM*)
end tell
Which shows that the time was already touched with old systems.
Edit your handler like that:
on createRandomTime(AvailableDates, NonAvailablestartTime,
NonAvailableEndTime, DayBeginsV, DayEndsV, lunchbeginsv, LunchEndsV)
set DayStart to 9
set DayEndNUM to 16
set xV to random number from 1 to (count of AvailableDates)
set DateVar to item xV of AvailableDates
set HourV to (random number from DayStart to (DayEndNUM))
set HourV to HourV & ":00" as string
copy my MakeTimesRelativeToDate(lunchbeginsv, DateVar) to
LunchStartRelV
--Lunch ends at 1:30 PM on the next variable (LunchEndRelV) and it
should stay that way for the duration of the script. Yet, see next
note below.
copy my MakeTimesRelativeToDate(LunchEndsV, DateVar) to LunchEndRelV
log LunchEndRelV
copy my MakeTimesRelativeToDate(DayBeginsV, DateVar) to DayStartRelV
log LunchEndRelV
copy my MakeTimesRelativeToDate(DayEndsV, DateVar) to DayEndRelV
log LunchEndRelV
copy my MakeTimesRelativeToDate(HourV, DateVar) to startTime
log LunchEndRelV
--LunchEndRelV changes to a different time every time the script is
run (because HourV is a random number). But this is not what I want.
return LunchEndRelV
end createRandomTime
and it will behave as wanted.
