[FIXED] calling function every xx hours issue
Hi again...

I tried to call a function every xx hours and so far it failed. I know the function works and got no errors in logs.
Activating code:
Code: 
 ts = services.time_service()
	span = interval_in_sim_hours(1)
	alarm_hour= ts.sim_now.hour()
	time=create_date_and_time(hours=alarm_hour)
	time=ts.sim_timeline.now + span
	write_debug_log('time={} , span {}'.format(time,span))
	AlarmHandle(StartMod, DoJob, ts.sim_timeline,time, repeating=True, repeat_interval=span, accurate_repeat=True)

Debug:
Code: 
       [07/12/15 10:24:57]<DEBUG>time=02:18:57.280 day:1 week:2 , span 1.00 hours
       [07/12/15 10:24:57]<DEBUG>next call:02:18:57.280 day:1 week:2



What am i doing wrong ?
Thanks for your explanation !

I believe you want to create a global variable to store your alarm handle and then use the sims4.reload.protected member to store the global between game reloads (screen switches). If the handle goes away, so does your alarm and the way you have it defined above, the handle will disappear.
Code: 
with sims4.reload.protected(globals()):
    SCHEDULED_ALARM = None

Code: 
        global SCHEDULED_ALARM
        ts = services.time_service()
	span = interval_in_sim_hours(1)
	alarm_hour= ts.sim_now.hour()
	time=create_date_and_time(hours=alarm_hour)
	time=ts.sim_timeline.now + span
	write_debug_log('time={} , span {}'.format(time,span))
	SCHEDULED_ALARM = AlarmHandle(StartMod, DoJob, ts.sim_timeline,time, repeating=True, repeat_interval=span, accurate_repeat=True)

I had a long 'talk' with a guru about that one. Short answers: Don't use AlarmHandle but add_alarm.

I link the thread for reference:

Thanks all for your answers !
