I have a screensaver script and it shows a screensaver after some time (e.g. 10 sec). How to make to stop screensaver after some time when it's started (e.g. after 5 sec) and then repeat again the same every (e.g. 10sec) but to calculate time from when it stop.
var screensaver_active = false;
function show_screensaver() {
$('#screensaver').fadeIn();
screensaver_active = true;
screensaver_animation();
}
function stop_screensaver() {
$('#screensaver').fadeOut();
screensaver_active = false;
}
function getRandomColor() {
var letters = '0123456789ABCDEF'.split('');
var color = '#';
for (var i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
color += letters[Math.round(Math.random() * 15)];
}
return color;
}
setInterval(function() {
show_screensaver();
stop_screensaver();
}, 10000);
function screensaver_animation() {
if (screensaver_active) {
$('#screensaver').animate({
backgroundColor: getRandomColor()
}, 400, screensaver_animation);
}
}
Try calling stop function within start function like this
function show_screensaver() {
$('#screensaver').fadeIn();
screensaver_active = true;
screensaver_animation();
setTimeout(function(){stop_screensaver();},5000);
}
function stop_screensaver() {
$('#screensaver').fadeOut();
screensaver_active = false;
setTimeout(function(){show_screensaver();},10000);
}
